With three months to go before Tennessee's Republican primary for governor, none of the big four candidates seems ready to throw in the towel. If the well-financed quartet of U.S. Rep. Diane Black, businessman Randy Boyd, state House Speaker Beth Harwell and businessman Bill Lee hang in until Aug. 2 in the hopes of replacing term-limited Republican Gov. Bill Haslam, the eventual winner may have as little as 25 percent of the vote before taking on the Democrat primary winner - who will have had to spend considerably less time and money - in November.
It's strange that a president who had such a transformative effect on our national discourse will leave such a negligible policy legacy.

The way President Donald Trump sees it, why go for a solid single when you can swing for a home run? Trump's upcoming summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un is only the latest example of the president's go-big strategy. From tax reform to international trade to foreign policy, Trump has pursued a high-risk, high-reward approach that advisers say can help produce results on long-standing problems - and that critics warn could trigger dangerous repercussions all the way from a trade war to global conflict.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney said the U.S. should restart the harsh detention and interrogation practices used on terrorism suspects after 9/11, and called on the Senate to confirm CIA nominee Gina Haspel.

Mary Fallin has signed a law that gay rights advocates say will allow religious-based adoption agencies to discriminate against same-sex couples, single people and non-Christians in placing children.

The Russian company charged with orchestrating a wide-ranging effort to meddle in the 2016 presidential election overwhelmingly focused its barrage of social media advertising on what is arguably America's rawest political division: race. The roughly 3,500 Facebook ads were created by the Russian-based Internet Research Agency, which is at the center of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's February indictment of 13 Russians and three companies seeking to influence the election.
Montana Sen. Jon Tester is one of the top targets for Republicans to take down in November - and his immigration positions will likely make the GOP's job easier.
