Moveon.org pulls ad buys for Bredesen in TN and Manchin

[meadowlark5]

I can understand Manchin, but I don't know how to feel about Bredesen. He said he would vote for Kavanaugh if he were in the Senate but he's not and it's hypothetical and maybe a bad calculated answer during a campaign. I really don't want a Senator Blackburn. She is so awful. She'll be everywhere she can get her face if she's elected. Sunday shows, Fox News, she wants the fame and notoriety and she is odious.

1. I read that Moveon hasn't spent a dime in Tenn anyway

and maybe Bredeson doesn't want to be associated with Moveon in flame red Tennessee.

3. LOL, that may help them!

4. I wonder if they planned to but now won't

I just really don't want Marsha Blackburn. She really does remind me of Michelle Bachman :blech:

2. Yep.

But alas, Manchin will win and I believe Bredesen as well.

7. You would rather have a GOP? We need a majority to stop the Repugs!

Those are the sort of Democrats we need to have a majority...not pretty I agree but essential.

5. All I can say is I won't contribute a cent to either one.

6. This is why i no longer donate to Move on...

You will never get a liberal Democrat in either of those states...and I am sure the GOP candidate will be so much better and all ...move on (sarcasm).

8. Moveon.org distributes money according to its principles.

I can't imagine that they'd support either of those two financially, once they said they'd vote for Kavanaugh. It's an independent organization with its own agenda.

To regain a majority in the the Senate, though, we need those two Senators. It's a dilemma. I don't like Manchin, but West Virginia is an unlikely state to elect a Democrat in the first place. if they'll elect Manchin, then we could use the numbers. Same goes for Bredesen in Tennessee, another solid red state.

But, I don't expect moveon.org to compromise its principles to support them.

9. Of course, because . . .

Morrisey and Blackburn would be so-o-o much better than their Democratic opponents for the U.S. Senate, no doubt voting 0% of the time for anything remotely aligned with the Democratic Party, let alone with the interests of the country. Or the world for that matter.

Because cutting off your nose to spite your face is such a winning strategy.

10. Maybe some of the millions Bloomburg is spending can go towards Bredesen

The Senate is going to be a tough get so all the help the Dems can receive would be really helpful.

11. STUPID! Regardless of the Kavanaugh controversy, MUCH better to have a Dem than an R.

Not every place is far left. We need to be a big tent. This is one-issue purity STUPIDITY!

12. Bredesen should have shut his mouth on it.

If he said anything he should have said I have not seen the evidence that the sitting senators have so I cannot draw a conclusion.

13. That's what I said yesterday when his comment started circulating

Why insert yourself in such a volatile process if you don't have to??? He could have easily said he's focused on Tennessee issues of healthcare, jobs and whatever they are most interested in and say he can't say since he's not involved.

Either he feels that way or he was trying to get some cross over deplorables
