snip-"Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., is running for governor, she announced Wednesday, promising to help her state be "America’s conservative leader" for generations to come.

Blackburn, who would be the state’s first female governor if she wins, leaned heavily on her support for President Donald Trump in a short video posted to X announcing her campaign. The first images in the video are of the president, before Blackburn takes over to declare: "Trump is back, America is blessed, and Tennessee — better than ever."


snip-"The state's current governor, Bill Lee, cannot run again due to term limits.


snip-"If Blackburn were to win, she would have to vacate her seat to which she was re-elected in November. As governor, she would have the ability to appoint her temporary successor before a special election to fill the seat.

1. She's a disaster.

[SheltieLover]

2. Tn voters are so fucking stupid they will likely elect her

She won the last election by nearly 70% to 30%.

[Omnipresent]

3. She's qualified to win in Tennessee.

She has an (R) next to her name.

[SheltieLover]

8. Precisely!

4. isn't she in the running for one of the dumbest senators?

instead of cream rising to the top, repukes prove shit floats?

5. Evil taking over America

6. She beat Petey to the punch!

Kegsbreath was going to save his tarnished image by leaving the Pentagon on
his own terms? Maybe now he'll get his ass kicked out the door.

7. Maybe as a Governor she can learn why her recent votes in the Senate are a disaster for states

I would like to see her make up for those lost Medicaid dollars, FEMA support and the thousand other state-killer rules they pulled out of their asses.

9. Please DON"T Tennessee

DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS WOMAN WHO SAYS REMOVING MILLIONS FROM MEDICAID IS OK

10. I live in Tennessee.

These people have had 2 chances to get her out of the senate since we moved here. The first one was someone we actually knew. He's a good person. But he had a D beside his name. I had hopes last year, but really Tennesseans are too fucking stupid to realize what a monster Blackburn is. They complain about lack of healthcare, etc., but just don't see the connection.

Even the less deplorable among them vote for whatever R is running, without having the slightest idea exactly what they're voting for. All they know is that Democrats are evil and Republicans are godly. It's what they've been taught from day one, all evidence to the contrary, and there is not one thing that will change their minds.

11. It was bad enough that this dimwit/dipshit/harebrain was in the House.

Even worse that she got "promoted" to the Senate.

Now perhaps to governor?

17. Tenn folks must love her--as she has been in power for a LONNNNNNNNNNNNg time!!

12. Who is running.on the Dem side for Governor?

[piddyprints]

13. Don't know.

I don't think anyone has declared yet. Jerri Greene (Memphis City Councilwoman) might run, but she has no name recognition.

Rs run unopposed in SO many elections here. I usually write in a friend rather than risk someone blackening my ballot by hand with an R vote I didn't want. Even if someone does run against the monster, they will have an uphill battle.

14. The wicked witch of Tennessee. She is nasty. n/t

[Farmer-Rick]

16. Tennessee has never had a woman governor

She is a ridiculous woman parroting whatever pedo Trump says. I bet she would even help him find more little girls to diddle if the pedo asked her.

She comes across as a dumb blonde. I don't know why any democracy loving American would vote for her.

But if trends hold, Tennessee will vote in the man over any woman, even Marsha the pedo Trump political copycat. In Tennessee, we have many pedo Trump political copycats, mostly white men. It's because of all the cult-like Southern Baptists here.

18. Good. At least her dizziness will only be a drain

on the citizens of one state.
