@SpenceRogers @MattWalshBlog I'm a political consultant. Have won dozens of races on local, state and federal level. Lost several as well.

There's a blatant & obvious difference between the two sides of the #TNschoolchoice debate. The "pro" side is using stats, peer reviewed studies, & asking for open debate. The "anti" side is using logical fallacies, foul language, personal attacks- anything & everything but

Former President @realDonaldTrump is right. Tennessee is getting extremely close to passing school choice. And nothing @tennesseestands , @TEA_teachers , or other liberal groups do will stop us from empowering parents, students & teachers!

Senator, you also voted against giving school choice to children with severe learning disabilities & special needs. Which part of the statement was untrue that you'd oppose school choice even if it were extremely limited in scope and only benefited those who are in most beed?
