Could Tennessee elect its own Andy Beshear one day?

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Tennessee seems just outside of the range of being penetrable by Democrats even in a perfect storm situation (barring a literal Roy Moore type candidate) just like Oklahoma. In addition to having all of the cultural and demographic factors being more friendly to Republicans than Kentucky, the TN GOP is more entrenched as a party of government in the state that at least tended to elect more of those business friendly moderate types who won while the state was more competitive while Matt Bevin was incompetent with the use of his trifecta (which was the first time the GOP held one ever in Kentucky) leading to grassroots resistance led by teachers unions to defeat him and elect Andy Beshear. Tennessee has already implemented a lot of the right wing fiscal agenda, and even if they do 2010s Kansas type stuff the GOP should still win off of demographics since even extreme overreach on social issues and civil rights violations won't risk knocking the Republicans out of power in Tennessee.
