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.

Nice vetting job by the Dems. MT @tndp: TNDP won't be supporting Mark Clayton 4 Senate. We urge Dems to write-in the name of their choosing

How was Mark Clayton certified as a Democratic candidate in the first place? Where was the vetting? @TNDP #SMH

The Tennessee Democratic Party released a statement condemning Clayton … after he won the election.
The Tennessee Democratic Party will not be supporting Mark Clayton for Senate. We urge Democrats to write-in the name of their choosing.

TNDP on Senate primary winner Mark Clayton: "TNDP disavows his candidacy, and will not do anything to promote or support him in any way."

True, it’s not like the Democrats ever nominate hilariously embarrassing candidates. Cough — Alvin Greene — cough.

And now that the cat is out of the bag, Clayton “doesn’t count” as a Dem.
