she went as far as slamming the republican senate candidate marsha blackburn. this is a big deal. she has millions of fans. some are young. some are old enough to vote now. she is a vocal feminist. she has been appropriated as a symbol of the right due to her country roots. she has over 80 million followers on twitter. she has over 100 million instagram fans. that is where she posted her endorsement. vote --g to busby, according to a buzz feed, vote.org solid and uptake following the post -- saul and uptake following the post. >> what kind of response was from the conservatives? said -- setabee himself up in a fight with fans. he said she has the right to be political. donald trump for his part reacted. fox news reporting that he said he likes her music about 25% less now that she has taken on marsha blackburn. accusing that candidate of voting against equal pay for women and against an act of the two protect women from domestic violence. -- an act attempting to protect women from domestic violence. alaska's national park is home to brown bears who are preparing for the winter hib

tim: we are happy to support marsha blackburn in tennessee. we have held claire mccaskill accountable in missouri. there are champions running that republicans have, so we are involved in a lot of races, but we absolutely made a decision to be clear we've never been an appendage of any party, that we wanted to send a stronger message this year. we thought it was important to do that. i think the omnibus, that's not the only reason but that was a big one, and inflection point for us, that so many republicans who talk about being fiscally responsible instead blew through spending caps, at around $600 billion more than they promised to spend. and now we have a situation this year where tax cuts have brought in additional revenue to the government, because when you lower tax rates you increase economic activity and growth, and we are seeing that, but the deficit is too much. >> on the big annual spending bill that funds the government, the president said he might veto and then went ahead and signed because of some of the issues you raised. because

one reason marsha blackburn has had strong support in tennessee beyond what some anticipated is marshackburn is the rare republican actually has a decent amount of support from the entertainment industry. you have nashville and the big music industry there. by farblackburn has been the most vigorous defender of that industry against all sorts of interests that have sough t to undercut it. not saying that bill gross and would not do that. you have people in that fight who would probably naturally not be minded to support such a conservative republican because she is, but they think she has been good on issues that are relevant to the very core industry in tennessee. that might be one reason why some people could support her even if she is not their natural type of politician. i thinkard to missouri, the missouri senate race is going to be interesting to watch. my personal theory about claire mccaskill is that she is one of in two luckiest politicians america. number one is scott walker, my former boss, who i am convinced that somewhere in scott walker's body is embedded in magical golde

that will be voting for phil medicine for the senate and it did the opposite, marsha blackburn wentw she is encouraging people to vote early so sometimes it has the opposite effect. >> sometimes it does, i am for voter turnout and voter registration and everybody should so kudos to her for that. i don't have a problem with that. kanye west is encouraging people, not telling you who to vote for, that is the difference, the easy joke would be to say how can we listen to taylor swift, this is a person who traded boyfriends out quicker than i change socks but i won't be mean like that. heather: she is very talented. >> she has done well. if she ever dated me -- terrible. heather: you bring up a good point. that is something people will say listening to this if we post this online the left will say you say listen to kanye west and listen to celebrities or sports people who support the president but then don't listen to the left leaning celebrities so if you listen to when you got to listen to the other give them equal time. >> it is not going to go away. we will hear the political opinio

the guy that called in about marsha blackburn in tennessee, marsha blackburn has never been a senator. she's running for senate, and she's not running for governor, so he's all messed up on that. but marsha blackburn has moved up the last few days. points.ead by 14 tellingst came out exactly the way it is. your planned parenthood, which has nothing to do with ,arenthood, 70 million babies basically 40% plus are black babies, have been aborted. that whenevere people are standing up, the party that stands up for planned parenthood, that puts planned parenthood clinics right in the low income areas, and it's a large majority of them are the black, hispanic, and low income, and half of those babies are female, so they are not standing up for women's rights. host: that's larry and waynesboro, tennessee. the last caller in our segment on "washington journal." that tennessee race one we will touch on an hour 9:00 hour of "washington journal." we will spend that our with kyle , speaking about the election landscape for 2018. up next, we are joined by one america news network's emerald robinso

of this race is a matter of marsha blackburn having to catch up.been able to nation nailize the race. she's become a state-wide figure. you've seen her extend her lead. this one seems out of reach for the democrats. rob: that was getting nervous for the republicans, now it's me comfortable. heidi heitkamp. she was down i think 12 points and she voted against kavanaugh. is she toast? >> she's the incumbent senator. she was able to win a race not many wer expected to win. they don't have voter registration. kevin cramer's been the congressman for a while. she voted for gorsuch but she voted against kavanaugh. that feels like a little bit of a throwing a vote away and applying for the next job in the democratic administration and saying i give up. that's what it looks like. most of the polling has representative kramer up by double digits. rob: it's been that way for a couple weeks now. >> it has. rob: this could be a flip for the republicans. he's a strong candidate, miss missouri a swing state. >> claire mccaskill, she probably would have lost in 20
