Sen. Corker: Trump Saying Obama 'Founded ISIS' Went 'Far Too Far' Back to article

What a corker…

slang.
a. something or somebody striking or outstanding: that was a corker of a joke.
b. an irrefutable remark that puts an end to discussion. (APPARENTLY NOT)

But, Bob. Trump can still count on your unwavering support, right?

lafe19 · August 12, 2016, 5:38pm

Of course even after Trump “went too far” he still supports him.

Crap like that makes all the “condemnation” of Trump worthless. Trying to have their cake and eat it too.

Corker: I can live with Trump going to Kenya for Obama’s birth certificate but ISIS’s credit needs to go to George Bush and probably only Dick Cheney, who originated idea of Iraq invasion.

Trump tweeted Fri. Am that he was just using sarcasum. This article should have led with that update.

Yeah hinting around that somebody should shoot Hillary is all good, but Obama starting ISIS is a bridge too far? Fuck you, Bob. You’re gonna support him anyway, don’t paint it like you care, you don’t.

"If I were running for president, I would stay away from personality issues, and I would stick to the policy issues that are going to affect people’s lives in a positive way,” Corker told The Tennessean.

I’ll give Corker $10 if can name a single policy position that 1) Trump has articulated in detail, including the “how” and 2) has not wavered on and 3) doesn’t involve building a wall, deporting 11+ million people or imposing a religious test on people entering the country.

I think my $10 is safe!

“But I will still vote for him, because BenghaziWhiteWaterHillary!”

No one tells a new mother to their face they just birthed a damned ugly baby. “He’s cute, and everyone just loves him!” is de rigueur.

shirleyujest · August 12, 2016, 5:46pm

“What, are you crazy? Of course I’m still voting for him.”

sjk · August 12, 2016, 5:48pm

But I still support him!!! Now jail Hillary! /s

Kris Kristofferson. leveling a sawed-off shotgun as Billy the Kid:

‘How does Cheeto Jesus look to ya’ now, Bob?’

An oldie but very worthy goldie!

"Corker also said that Trump’s other controversial comment this week — when the nominee appeared to suggest that “Second Amendment people” take out Hillary Clinton — “had no place in public discourse.”

steviedee111 · August 12, 2016, 5:50pm

Trump is setting this all up for an election night reveal his entire campaign was 18 months of sarcasm.

“You all took me seriously?!?! Really?!?!”

shirleyujest · August 12, 2016, 5:50pm

That’s better with your edit. Darned Google translator!

breccia · August 12, 2016, 5:52pm

I think you have TPM confused with Breitbart.

antisachetdethe · August 12, 2016, 5:53pm

You noticed that, too? Good. Thought my eyes were deceiving me.

magical_panda · August 12, 2016, 5:54pm

You built this, GOP.

You alone built this. Enjoy.
