‘Tennessee Three’ member launches 2024 exploratory committee for Senate bid
The Hill ^ | 08/08/2023 | OLAFIMIHAN OSHIN

Gloria Johnson (D), a member of the “Tennessee Three,” has launched an exploratory committee for a potential 2024 Senate run.

The 61-year-old state lawmaker filed exploratory paperwork, a step potential candidates typically take before launching a campaign, last week.

Johnson is expected to challenge Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R) for her Senate seat, as Johnson has been a longtime critic of Blackburn and other GOP leaders in her home state.

Blackburn, who spent the last sixteen years as a House Representative for Tennessee, defeated former Gov. Phil Bredesen (D) in 2018 to be elected to the state’s Senate seat.

"Man is she ugly"

We can jest all we want, but the demographics in Davidson and Shelby county could give the Rats a Senate seat. Trump, the GOP can not assume any Southern state is safe.

This is about getting money and hiring all their relatives on the campaign. They have no shot to win TN.

Tennessee ain’t Georgia.
Blackburn has been a great Senator.
She will easily get re-elected.

TN is deep red, but the legislature and governor are RINOs. It would be just like the legislature to allow cheat-by-mail-ins ballots without any proper signature verification. Just like Trump in 2020 and Kari Lake in 2022, that would mean the Republican would be ahead on the night of Election Day, and then the count would be slow-walked for a week until enough cheat-by-mail-in ballots from Memphis and Nashville put the Democrat ahead.

STOP HATING DEMOCRATS AND RECOGNIZE THE TRUE ENEMY. All of your efforts should be concentrated on defeating RINO candidates in the primaries for the state legislatures. RINOs in the state legislatures are the biggest threat to America. Donate directly to a local campaign. Do not send one penny to the RNC. Democrats would never gotten away with stealing elections if the state legislatures were filled with conservative patriots.

Wait. Wait. Just hold on a cotton picking minute.

I think this just might be a copyright infringement. Or at least an infringement on good manners & taste.
The Tennessee Three are and always will be:
Luther Perkins, Marshall Grant and DS Holland, later Bob Wootton after Luther Perkins death.
That is it
Anyone else saying they are a member is a D*** Liar.

Republican Senator Hagerty was one the douchebags who voted to confirm Eric Garcetti as ambassador to India.

She didn’t just defeat Bredesen (a popular 2 term governor), she DESTROYED him.

I will tell you right now, Gloria Fugly will be Marsha's opponent, and will dutifully lose by 10-15 points.

I just posted this a week ago, but it bears repeating:

"The Democrats use their losers-out-of-the-gate, their lame no-hopers like Aunt Jemima in GA and Toe-Tapping Charlie in FL to launder money: to their campaign whores, to the #MSM corps, to their relatives, and rake their foreign donations straight into off-shore accounts ("SBF, oy gevalt, please call the white courtesy phone!" LOFL).

Case in point: In 2020, Democrat Amy "Baby Eater" McGrath lost -20 to Miotch's zillionth re-election, but the Democrat PACs washed $90 MILLION of dark money through her losing campaign, and not even half of that was cable and advertising, but bogus 'consultancies'.
