Trump needs to get Liddle Bob out of the country.

I’m pretty sure it’s “Senator Bob Corker”, not “Liddle Bob Corker.” Unless, of course, you think that Trump gets to control the narrative all the time.

By staying in the Senate, he gets less of the tRump stench on him.

Corker’s showing good sense.

Not to be taken for granted these days, especially with Republicans.

  1. Who did they want to have replace him for the last few months of Corker’s term before Corker retires?

  2. Are they expecting an impeachment battle much,much, much sooner than I am?

The R’s must be really askeered Blackburn can’t beat Bredesen if they’re trying to install her in Corker’s seat now.

EDIT—Additionally, it seems Corker has no interest in stepping aside to help Blackburn or McConnell or Dump keep his seat in R hands. Thanks Bob.

“At the end of the day though…it just felt like it wasn’t the right step.

Right step? Australia? Sit on a plane for 17 hours? Are you nuts! I’ll stay home here in TN, count my seven million or so in real estate assets and reap the benefits of the recent corporate tax giveaways legislation I voted for.

Gotta love America.

HOW on Earth can you be on ‘better terms’ with a man who insults and demeans you? I can understand working with him as the head of your party but honest to God I wouldn’t even put myself in the RUNNING to join this administration and give the slightest bit of credence to Trump himself.

Marsha Blackburn, so that she would be the incumbent, a try to help her campaign, that would fail.

Corker should reconsider. There’s something to be said for a job that puts you on the opposite side of the planet from Trump.

I don’t believe he is. I believe Corker despises Dump. And he doesn’t like Blackburn and he doesn’t care about McConnell anymore. Which is why he’s not letting himself get sent to Australia so that Blackburn can be installed in his seat and thus. have the benefit of incumbency this November.

It’s always been my dream to be the U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St James. That is the offer I would hold out for.

I’d take France too. Maybe Italy.

“I shared with them there may very well be some other task down the road that they may need me to tackle on behalf of our country,” he added.

Too bad that task is not upholding the oath you swore to defend this country’s laws. Set yourself the task of exposing this traitor and his gang of thieves and be able to look at yourself in the mirror as a man and a patriot someday.

He didn’t want to have to learn a new language.

I’ve heard they’ve dispensed with the knee breeches.
