Black, Blackburn, and Alexander? Nope, nope, nope.
Helluva deep bench these Repuglicants have, eh? /snark
It’s Jan 1 not Apr 1
I wonder if they step out of their congressional seat primary to run in the governor’s primary? Get more than one out of their congressional seat in bid of the gov - that would be sweet. Probably not the case - but I would be glad to see Black and Blackburn out of the House.
Oh - and totally off topic - Look at what Devilla DeVos has just done: https://newrepublic.com/article/146417/betsy-devoss-gut-punch-defrauded-students
Republicans only have a Woman candidate on the ballot, it makes sure that she is under fifty, and good looking, so Rep. Black doesn’t have a chance in winning the GOP primary in either case…
The Dems definitely need to field serious candidates in the Senate and Gubernatorial races in Tennessee next year. We need to prepare for the fact that, by summer, the dumpster fire that is our current President will have made nearly every district in the U.S. hostile to Republicans. Any seat in where any election is held, whether local, state or federal, that goes unchallenged by a credible Democrat will be a wasted opportunity.
Democrats are challenging in nearly every Congressional District. From my experience, these are people who decided on their own to run, not chosen by party officials. In my state senate district, 3 progressives are challenging the long time, conservative Democrat in the primary.
She’s bragging about helping with the piece of garbage call a Tax Bill? God help the folks of Tennessee. Bad enough they’ve Corker and Alexander.
Bio is interesting. First of her family to graduate from college in nursing; now worth $29 million. What came first, the money or the first political “job”?
I live in Tennessee. Diane Black is a fucking moron. She makes Marsha Blackburn seem like Stephen Hawking.
And as far as looks go, she makes Kevin Brady look like Chris Hemsworth.
Peel the paint off blackburn and it’s proof there were really dinosaurs around at one time
What a gyp. We have to bit the beach twice now?
Dumber than Blackburn? How is that possible? But, is she as evil?
But hey, her scion was able to take time off and party, er, sail around the world… and with the new tax scam in place, they get to write off any yacht repairs… good times!
Totally agree. We’ve covered every race in Texas, I am proud to say. Not one Repuglic will run unopposed next year.
So she doesn’t have the onions to resign her seat and run. I wonder how many times she complained about others doing the same thing.
Victims of the corrupt diploma mill will not have their student loans discharged; instead, they will get a portion of relief based on their current income. …The Education Department will now compare the earnings of an applicant for debt relief to the average earnings of students who took similar vocational courses.
I can’t see that standing up to a legal challenge, but I suppose that DeVos doesn’t mind using taxpayer dollars to wear the defrauded students down and get many of them to settle for less relief than they are entitled to.
DeVos, the company that provided her fortune, and the for-profit schools she protects are financial parasites…
