ormer Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., is considering running for the recently vacated U.S. Senate seat held by Al Franken.

“I’ve had people contact me and urge me to run for that Senate seat,” Bachmann said recently on televangelist Jim Bakker's television show. “And the only reason I would run is for the ability to take these principles into the United States Senate and to be able to advocate for these principles.”

Minnesotans are also hugely tired of the overburdening regulations and fees they pay, and how much of a welfare state it is. They’re nickel and dimed to high heaven. Trump’s 20 reg’s gone for every one new reg is a highly appealing model.

that’s better than mine, THANKS!

Won't work. After the character assassination of Roy Moore, no serious Christian will ever be able to run for Federal office in the United States of America, ever again. The second one tries, the media, the Democrats, and the RINOs will gang up on them and find some dirt on them, blow it our of proportion, or just make up whatever lie they need to make up.

In fact, why should we vote in Federal elections anymore? Post-Trump, they're all going to be bought and paid for.

Michelle, you’ve got our money again to help.

Yes, but she’d be running in a presidential election year. If Trump can generate another Wave-election who knows? Franken’s immediate replacement would have to run in 2020.

There is a special election this Nov unless the appointed senator quits shortly before the special election.

Do you think you’ll ever get out of your funk?

The left would manage to find ballots in trunks if needed. Another Franken debacle! That said, I wish her the most luck anyone can have!

she never was the sharpest knife in the box.

Focus on Al’s and the opponent’s weaknesses.

What are Tina Smith's weaknesses?

The fact she goes on Jim Bakkers show makes me leary of her now.

[CJ Wolf]

Bet he said “Come in Tokyo”.

[DoodleDawg]

Trump lost there by only 1.5 pt.

Reagan lost by fewer than 4000 votes in 1980. That didn't turn the state red.

It’s better to try and fail, than to have never tried at all.

You never know, Michelle might just win it.

[SarahPalin2012]

The fact she goes on Jim Bakkers show makes me leary of her now.

You do know that the woman she would probably be running against has been in the leadership of Planned Parenthood, right?

[Angels27]

I am well aware of that, and would certainly pull for Michele to win over any democRAT despite the Bakker appearance.

Ibthunk Michele is too conservative to win in this solid blue state however. We’ll find out later this year

A New York hippie, just like Franken. Neither one of them are Minnesotans.
