Corker is simply not willing to ruin his political career for an asshole loser like Donald “the draft dodging coward” trump

As the Bard once wrote: Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

And some see a train wreck as a train wreck and have the sense to back away quickly and hope for greatness another day.

Please let it be Ernst. Please.
Whatever his pick is, I expect there will be a sharp tick on his election odds, probably downward. I can’t wait.

I think Dick Cheney is still available and I’m sure he’d accept.

The only thing he cares about is raw power and with Trump, he’d have a guy that knows even less than W.

Wow - a well reasoned, thought out approach. I’m shocked, I tell you - shocked,. Of course the real reasoning is that he realized that he’d end up with the political gravitas of Sarah Palin should he continue.

is he still willing to give advice on how to make campaign commercials like the one he ran against Harold Ford in his first Senate run?

The VP usually has to follow orders…that’s not Cheney. John Calhoun? maybe

Cheney? nope

It was the part about parading down the runway at Trump Tower along with Gingrich and Christie - all in their Speedo brief’s - that finally made him realize that this whole VP thing is just a big show.

“There are people far more suited for being a candidate for vice president and I think I’m far more suited for other types of things,” Corker reportedly told the Post’s Robert Costa.

like?

Corker described the job of vice president as being “highly political” and said he was not a good pick for the job or for the Trump campaign.

Umm what does Corker actually do for a living again?

Smart move by Corker. If Trump were to win, Corker would be sitting around for 4-8 years, with a boss he can’t stand who won’t listen to him (or anyone else with any cedibility) and who will probably demean him. If Trump loses, Corker would have spent the campaign having to defend the indefensible every day on the campaign trail.

He doesn’t need this. Come 2020, Corker will be 68, just at the outer edge of age viability to run, but he won’t need the national platform a VP candidacy could theoretically give him.
