TN-SEN: Return of the Bredi

[mcmikk]

Guys, voters are dumb. The fact that unemployment obviously rose during the recession and fell afterward is not something that would enter most of their thought processes naturally.

Bredesen branding himself very strongly:

The idea that voters are actually going to care what unemployment figures were 7 years ago is what's ridiculous here.

Well, they'll pretend to care if that's what their partisan overlords are telling them to justify their vote with.

FWIW Hillary Clinton already carried Shelby county 62%-35%. The bigger surprise is not that the Democrats are winning here but that the Republicans were somehow a big thing here before.

Yes, I'm seeing now that the article is very spun. I had thought it was DKE, not regular Kos.

idk if using Bob Corker, who has like a 15% approval rating, was the best idea

I actually think courting the people who still support Corker is exactly what Bredesen needs to do. He needs to go after the moderate republicans vote if he has any hope of winning in November.

He already has the Dem base which dislikes Corker, and the Trump cultists who started hating Corker because he dared to speak badly against the god emperor are unwinnable anyway. So the 15% who still approve of Corker are actually the exact people he needs to win.

Corker's approvals aren't even close to that low. His approval in the last poll I could find was 48/47. A lot of those disapprovers are Republicans who are angry about him not worshipping Trump.

This is probably how tons of people who voted for Bredesen in the past feel. They may like him personally, but they can no longer vote for any member of the anti-white hate group. Hopefully he can make up for them with Williamson County RINOs, but I'm not optimistic.

This is why Bredesen would be leading in the teens or 20s if he ran for governor again, instead he just had to jump in for the senate race, way to go...

Because a YT comment is representative of the entirety of TN.

If voters didnt want to vote for Bredesen to be a senator, we would see it in polling, and so far, it seems that this opinion is not shared by many.

Didn't Corker endorse Blackburn?

Yes, but when he's in the privacy of the voting booth, he's probably going to vote for Bredeson.

Why would he even endorse her in the first place then? He has nothing to lose politically.

Would be a little spineless though. Why not admit you vote for Bredi? He has nothing to lose anymore.

Because Corker is spineless.

Obviously it isn't, but I pointed it out because I believe it is indicative of a larger trend.

And it is shared by many apparently, considering he went by winning from ~40 points in 2006 to a small lead (at best) right now.

This is my feeling towards the race too.
