Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) is thinking about reconsidering his decision to retire from the Senate, according to reports from CNN and Politico.

Republicans are reportedly concerned that Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who is the Republican favorite in Tennessee's Senate race, would not be able to win the general election.

CNN reports that Corker has talked with Sens.Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), as well as Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) about the matter.

It is unclear if Corker initiated the discussions.

Republicans are reportedly concerned that Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who is the Republican favorite in Tennessee's Senate race, would not be able to win the general election.

CNN reports that Corker has talked with Sens.Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), as well as Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) about the matter.

Translation: McConnell thinks Blackburn is too Conservative and likely may not vote exactly the way he demands she vote on the expansion of Big Government Statism under the Republican Brand name.

So they are convincing Corker to remain, because meddling in another primary like the one in Texas, only to end up endorsing the Democrat should Blackburn actually win the nomination are not the best optics to continue to fleece their plantation slaves.

Retire, Corker.

In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.

That’s it in a nutshell.  Blackburn will win and McConnell doesn’t want another Conservative to deal with.

Oh good. Alabama II. Mitch the Turtle is injecting himself in something he has no business in and will blow a sure thing. Marsha will win and Turtle needs to deal with that. Corker is hated and nobody wants him.

Uhhhhhhh - I have it on pretty good authority that a YUUUUUUUUGE number of former Suburban Chicagoans have relocated to Tennessee (especially around the Nashville/Franklin area) and you can expect them to vote for the same wonderful kinds of RINOs or Democrats they kept in power and corruption where they fled because they got taxed out of existence up there.

Liberals and big government folks are like locusts.  They strip every natural resource bare and travel where liberty and the cost of living are relatively easy and vote the same stupid way they did before, for the same reasons and in short order, turn the state to crap, just like the cesspool they left.
