Republican U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn is launching her bid for the U.S. Senate on the heels of Gov. Bill Haslam's decision to sit out the race to succeed retiring Sen. Bob Corker.
Blackburn described herself in her campaign announcement Thursday as a "hard-core, card-carrying Tennessee conservative" and decried the Republican majority in the Senate for failing to repeal former President Barack Obama's health care law.
Blackburn was first elected the Congress in 2002 and has been a regular guest on political talk shows on TV. She made a name for herself as a state lawmaker for opposing a fellow Republican governor's bid to introduce a state income tax.
Blackburn said she supports President Donald Trump's proposal to build a wall on the border with Mexico.

Yet these idiots keeping popping out of the woodwork. Where do they come from? Why do people still vote for these losers? It's amazing that we have it soooooooo bad but we keep getting options that will make things even worse.
