I wouldn't be surprised, though I think Blackburn is inching away here. It sucks too, because the last thing we need representing Tennessee in the Senate is an evolution denying retard that sucks in thousands of lobbyist dollars and spits out nothing but anti-abortion screels. She is the lowest form of Republican - no standards, no ideas, no accomplishments - just dirty money and constant pandering.

Not at all. In fact, I'd almost be more shocked if he didn't win. It just seems like, at least in this part of the state, that he's more liked, known and gets more press/whatever than Blackburn. At least in Shelby County. Which is really no big surprise. Seems like we are "eat up" with stupid people.


I've talked to several Trump voters who will vote for Bredesen. They perceive Bredesen as one who will more likely get things done for Tennessee. He was and still remains popular across the state.

Don't forget...there are many evangelicals in this state who despise Trump and only viewed him as a useful idiot to (a) stop Clinton, and (b) put pro life justices on SCOTUS. Those missions will have been accomplished.

I’ve done my part though. My dad (big MAGA supporter) and mom (moderate who held her nose and voted for Trump due to him not being Hillary), were both telling me they find Marsha to be fake and on the take, and they were voting for Bredesen because they remember him as a pretty successful governor who got things done for the state.


This is exactly the point I was making just above.

I went to high school in TN. My homecomings are full of white Democrats. TN can turn on you in an instant.

I actually would. Its probably more of a race than Texas due to his position as a popular former governor. But its TN, they love trump there.

Bredesen is almost sure to win, IMO.

If polls are showing a dead heat, the closet Trump supporters will swing it (R)

This is true for the midterms generally.

If the GOP doesn't get it's got out, it will be ugly.

TN has a history of making poor decisions when electing senators:

Al Gore

Lamar Alexander

Bob Corker

so, no, I will be disappointed but not surprised.
