I'm still laughing at the @TNDP's senate candidate…. imagine if Basil Marceaux had won GOP nomination. That's what Mark Clayton did.—

We’re guessing the GOP won’t have any trouble hanging onto the seat currently held by junior Sen. Bob Corker. Meet Mark Clayton, the Tennessee Democrats’ candidate for U.S. Senate.
