Why do GOP’ers only start to show some fleeting semblance of a spine as they are on their way out the door?

A ā€œgold spine lampā€ as retirement swag.

Wow!
Corker is stating facts evident to anyone who wants to see them. Having said that, a sitting (albeit retiring) US senator is publicly stating these things about a US President that is a member of his own party.
There is resounding value in something like this happening, and, even though it’s just one of them it is worthy.
Unfortunately, the poor, blacks, immigrants and needy will pay for Corker embarrassing Trump this morning. Cue the next major vindictive policy.

If Russia really wanted to hurt the US, helping tramp get elected President has been more effective than nuclear blasts on our cities.
If DC can’t exercise its 25thAmendment responsibilities, I sure hope God does.

I’m just glad he’s found his. I can’t help but wonder if he found his because he’s headed out the door, or if finding his spine meant he had to head for the exit. No matter, I’m just glad to have him as an ally.

You know that everything he’s saying the rest of them are saying too just not publicly.

Trump should NOT have popped that ā€œCorkā€.

Would be nice if more of them called him out on the lies.

And yet he still votes in lockstep with the rest of the GOP.

Perhaps his criticism would carry more weight if that were not the case.

Wonder how that Senate GOP lunch with Trump is going.

The funny thing about today - is that Corker pulled a Trump on Trump. Betting when Trump got up this morning, he was not expecting to spend all morning fuming, responding, raging in preparation of this lunch. Corker set the menu for the mornings news cycle and set the table for what Trump would be mentally digesting/obsessing over.

I suspect some of them were too.

@leftcoaster - I wish they would. If the GOP actually cared about the country and about us they would. They don’t care.

Putin is ex-KGB. He is used to fighting with propaganda and disinformation. He has a bit of genius in that no one thought of this kind of electoral interference before but in retrospect the possibility is blindingly obvious.

On the one hand - they are fearful for their own reelections and the spector of Bannon - looms large. This is like 2010 teaparty v3.1

The should be instead concerned about where Bannon, Trump, and the white supremacist ā€œburn it all downā€ anarchists/kleptocrats want to take the country - and prepare to fight for the soul of their party as their effort to fight for the soul of the country.

Ya, Corker is showing the way, but I doubt he will get any followers. They all want their chance to be the net golfing partner.

Yeah but you have to appreciate the position they are in and enjoy it to extent possible. They are now caught between Bannon and what is moral ethical right and patriotic. And they know it.

He was way too kind.

Corker actually had criticisms 8, 9 and 10 but they weren’t quite as palatable as the first 7.

Tiny appendages, sexual deviance and the inability to realize personal fault are issues that Weinstein and Oreilly are sucking the oxygen out of so even though Preznident Deplorable is guilty of all these things as well, why rub it in right now. The other perverts are doing a great job all on their own of ā€˜exposing’ (sorry) the members of the women abusers club for men.

I believe that was their goal from the start. Install a puppet who will do their bidding, which is essentially tearing down our democracy, and weaken us in the eyes of the world. If said puppet was removed from office, the resulting chaos and upheaval also fits their agenda. For them, it’s a win-win.
