From Myriam, Rhodes student: why should young people vote for you? Student loan proposal? Bredesen: Young people will soon go into careers and should be treated as young adults. Still get telemarketing calls asking to refinance loans. Fresh idea: amp.tennessean.com/amp/1042020002
Q: How will you work with 45? Bredesen: like the physicians in the room, you have a job to do and my job is to represent the people of Tennessee and whether or not I personally like the President doesn’t matter. #MemphisMatters
Q: what’s the #1 problem right now? Bredesen: the number 1 problem for our country is the inability for Congress to get anything done. That is why I’m running. I want to get things done. #MemphisMatters
Q: specific points of agreement and disagreement with the President? Bredesen: understand people have an emotional reaction to the President, but I want to focus on issues to get things done for Tennessee. #MemphisMatters
Q: how does being Mayor and Governor make you a better choice than Congresswoman Blackburn? A: problem w/ Washington is that it’s too distant from where the rubber meets the road. You don’t just get to pontificate about an issue- as Gov and mayor you actually have to do something
Q: thoughts on Judge Kavanaugh? A: this is not a time to relitigate elections. Elections have consequences and any president has the right to appoint a judge. Senators need to seriously consider carefully— not choosing based on party.
