TN-SEN: Return of the Bredi

[Hindsight was 2020]

I know his opponet was a pedo but a dem just won in freaking Alabama. Tennessee is possible

[Vega]

I think barring an Alabama-type scenario where the discrepancy between Democratic and Republican turnout is immense, 43% or so is his ceiling. A good part of the reason why Bredesen's name rec is (might be? not sure about that poll) so low in that poll is because a significant portion of the people who voted for him 11-15 years ago are now dead. Those people also disproportionately were the ones you needed to win statewide as a Democrat in TN: the proverbial ass-end of the New Deal Coalition.

If turnout (as a share of presidential #s) is like 80% for Dems and 55% for GOP, then yeah, winning is definitely possible.

The path is for the electorate to be around 40% R, 31% D, 28% I. If Bredesen can win 15% of Republicans, win independents by 15-20 points and win 95% of Democrats, that's a win.

That's just not possible. Jones only got 8% of Republicans under extenuating circumstances.

[Holmes]

Maybe not win 15% of Republicans, but if enough of them stay home...

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Lol Mackler out, hahahahaha!!!

[TomC]

Bredesen can absolutely win 15% of Republicans. He is more like the kind of moderate Republican like Haslam and Corker, who out primary the far right with each election, than Blackburn is. Trump won not because he was conservative but because he was the antithesis of a Washington insider. Bredesen will have a great shot at moderates and those who want to "drain the swamp". His main goal will be to paint Blackburn as an insider, which will be easy to do. Hard right conservative credentials has never been THE decisive factor for a Republican statewide candidate in Tennessee, and that's pretty much the only sure thing Blackburn can claim.

So apparently Mueller obtained "tens of thousands” of Trump transition emails which included multiple emails between the corrupt Trump administration and Marsha Blackburn.

Scandal imminent?

Sending an email to the president's transition committee is a scandal?

Not necessarily...but most of the names that come up are either people who are trying to get Mueller fired or are extremely corrupt individuals trying to get their rake off

She'll be seen as the defender of Trumpty dumpty

But a scandal is a scandal

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Oh man, Blackburn losing her senate race would be the cherry on top of the blue tsunami in 2018.

Bredesen better bring up "her emails" every chance he gets

After all, she tried to bleach them from her illegal private server

Bleach them? Like with a cloth?

[Kamala]

Let’s be real; Bredesen is too low-energy to go for the jugular.

[Cactus Jack]

That may be what he needs going up against a firebreathing lunatic like Blackburn. Also, I don't think we should underestimate him; we all thought Doug Jones was squishy and unassuming right up until he tore Moore's throat out in his last two weeks' worth of ads.

[Indy Texas]

Why isn't the criminally corrupt Marsha Blackburn willing to explain to the American people just what was really in HER EMAILS?

Many people are saying she tried to sell Tennessee Uranium to the Russians

Cruz and Blackburn man. Gotta believe and hope the Bagels of the world are out there organizing in the burbs instead of declaring these races safe R.

Already got 3 votes committed for O'Rourke, gonna try to get some more, and then badger them to show up to vote.

Also got 3 committed to Bredesen and Dean.

And 2 for McCaskill.

Marsha on track to choke, under budget and ahead of schedule:

[UncleSam]

So outside of people fantasizing about scandals that don't exist yet, is anything happening in this race? What is Bredesen campaigning on? What differentiates Blackburn from Fincher or anyone else?

My gut says that TN has gotten a whole lot redder since Bredesen was a governor and I doubt that he can win, but I could see it happening with a strong campaign. I have no clue what he stands for though.
