down here in Tennessee. He's a known quantity (former 2-term Governor) and widely liked and respected by Dems and Republicans.

Marsha Blackburn is a true Trump hugger, a Tea Party type who has a lot of 'splaining to do in respect to her association with Torshin, the Russian handler of recently indicted Maria Butina and a NRA money man. The fact that Torshin was a Russian 'election observer' in Nashville in 2012 seems like something out of a damn novel.

Blackburn has been sidestepping questions about her association with the Torshin/NRA story. She won't be able to avoid these questions for the entire election season. As the story on Trump continues to heat up, the Russian connection will likely become increasingly toxic. The way Blackburn is herself.

I have a good feeling about our chances in this neck of the woods
