President tries to lend a hand in Senate race that Democrat leads over GOP’s Blackburn

President Donald Trump showed a few cards in his midterm election hand Tuesday night, trying to attach a competitive Democratic Senate candidate in a state he easily won to Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton.

The Republican president did call the Republican candidate for the Senate seat being vacated by GOP Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker, Rep. Marsha Blackburn, “a great woman.” And he called her on stage to say a few words, during which she opted to praise him. But, for the most part, Trump’s message in Nashville was all about Trump in a preview of the rallies he plans across the country where close races will decide which party controls the House and Senate for the rest of his current term.

Blackburn used her brief remarks to thank Trump for “everything you are doing” — both in Washington and on the midterms campaign trail to help the GOP’s incumbents and other congressional candidates. She credited him for putting Neil Gorsuch on the U.S. Supreme Court, filling many other federal court seats, slashing taxes, and “standing up to China and North Korea.” The latter got one of the night’s loudest rounds of applause.

“Let me tell you that is what you call getting the job done,” Blackburn said. “Tennessee needs a senator who is going to support President Donald Trump, and I am going to be there to stand with President Donald Trump and take your Tennessee values to Washington, D.C.”

1. Marsha Blackburn is a complete disgrace

And let's be clear about what "disgrace" means.

loss of reputation or respect, especially as the result of a dishonorable action.
"he left the army in disgrace"
synonyms: dishonor, shame, discredit, ignominy, degradation, disrepute, ill repute, infamy, scandal, stigma, opprobrium, obloquy, condemnation, vilification, contempt, disrespect

3. After last night I'm extremely worried that he's gonna pull the "Democrats love MS13" card.

And his dipshit fan base will eat it up, because they don't care to know the truth.
