Corker Waffles on Retirement, GOP Frets Losing Seat

[Milchshake]

Some Republicans concerned Blackburn would lose to Bredesen. GOP overweighted poll obtained by POLITICO shows Bredesen up 47-45 over Blackburn. The two-term senator is being urged to reconsider his retirement amid concerns Republicans could lose his seat in November.

Why is Marsha Blackburn so unlikable you say? As Chair of the Subcommittee on Communications and the Internet she really hated the idea of net neutrality.

The two-term senator is being urged to reconsider his retirement amid concerns Republicans could lose his seat in November.

Retiring Sen. Bob Corker is “listening” to Republicans urging him to run for reelection, according to a person close to him, a development that would quell anxiety among Republicans over losing a must-win seat to Democrats this fall.

The two-term Tennessee GOP senator decided to call it quits in September amid an on-again, off-again dispute with President Donald Trump that has eroded his standing with the party’s base. But now a faction of Republicans in Tennessee and Washington are worried that the favorite for the Republican Senate nomination, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), could lose the general election — and with it the Senate majority.

They want Corker to get back in to hold the seat and preserve waning foreign policy experience in the GOP. And there are signs that he is open to it, despite the steep climb a Republican primary might entail.

Marsha Blackburn is committed to staying in the race and has vowed to face Corker in a primary if he unretires. Marsha Blackburn's campaign: Anyone who questions her ability to win is a 'sexist pig'.

Wonder how our resident anti-SJW alt-righters will react to this. My bet is that either they might mistake her for a (D) and make a fool out of themselves or do a 180 and pretend her rad-fem behavior is somehow very conservative and non-PC.

Ya she's playing the victim card. Aaaaand kneecapped net neutrality. Set right wing noise machine for maximum outrage.

Sarcasm aside, it's an interesting moral dilemma for the conservative mind. Are her transgressions less than those of Roy Moore?

[Mormolyce]

So I wonder if Trump will try to kiss and make up over those "liddle" remarks kek.

Might not be any better if he did decide to run, since if the Democrat was smart, they'd use the tax cut he originally didn't want as an anchor around him. Especially given the shady circumstances that made him come around to it.

Being a feminist versus being a slavery apologist child molester?

Easy call for them I think.

She still has options to redeem herself;

1. Wave a gun around during a fundraiser (The Roy Moore)
2. Punch a reporter (The Giafonte)
3. Shoot a TV with a gun in political ad (The Elvis)

I'd go with #3, because Graceland baby!

Bonus points if it's a weirdly small, girly, purse pistol... for reasons known only to Republicans.

Plus a nice smattering of "I could shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters" should do the trick.

Man now I'm in the mood for some waffles.

[Mormolyce]

So a kel-tec or a 2mm Kolibri

Nah, it was girlier. Way girlier.

Like something a prostitute would have in her garter in a Western.

[Blade Wolf]

She also needs to ride a horse

Said horse also needs a twitter.

Seriously though, what is this teeny weeny little gun? I can't tell if it's the widdlest revolver or if it's one of those one-shot deals.

Looks an awful lot like a Smith and Wesson 642. Makes a good backup/ankle or purse gun. The 'widdlest revolver' is a wee bit smaller still.

Why would a man need a backup gun unless he frequented card rooms or brothels .... oh wait a second. I see The Implication now. That would totally be a Dennis Reynolds type of gun.
