RUSH: Senator Bob Corker, Tennessee, retired from the Senate, has finally once and for all honestly opened up about the Republican establishment view of Donald Trump and what they think their role is, which is basically to nullify Trump, to contain Trump, to maintain our precious current world order. Trump poses the greatest threat. Republicans in the Senate think its their job to thwart the Trump agenda. Corker said so in frustration.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Anyway, Bob Corker and Donald Trump, big feud going on here with Corker having finally admitted whats really going on, at least among his buddies in the Senate. Veteran Republican establishment figure Senator Bob Corker confirmed to the New York Times that the Republican establishment is focused on corralling President Donald Trump and his agenda.
In an interview with reporter Jonathan Martin, Corker said that most Republican senators realized that Trump was a threat to the general world order. [They] understand the volatility that were dealing with and the tremendous amount of work that it takes by people around him to keep him in the middle of the road, he said.
After the mild-mannered Senator came unglued on Twitter on Monday, he told the New York Times he was trying to send a message to the good guys Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and the White House chief of staff, John F. Kelly. As long as there are people like that around him who are able to talk him down when he gets spun up, you know, calm him down and continue to work with him before a decision gets made, I think well be fine, he said.
On Sunday, Corker publicly shared the widespread view among Senate Republicans that the people around Trump were expected to keep him under control. Its a shame the White House has become an adult day care center, Corker said. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning.'
This is after Trump started tweeting on some things. Trump, for his part, says, Im not through with Corker. This is going to keep on. Trump really jumped in Corkers chili for the Iran deal. Trump blamed Corker for the deal, did this on Sunday in a series of posts on Twitter that drew a sharp comeback from Corker. Trump said that Corker begged him to endorse him for re-election in Tennessee. And I said no,' and so Corker dropped out.
So Trump wants you to believe that Corker begged him to endorse him, and since Trump wouldnt, that Corker concluded he couldnt win and so is retiring. Trump wants you to believe that Corker realizes that he cant win without Trumps endorsement, and without it, it makes no sense to run. So Corker is blowing a gasket here, the mild-mannered Corker.
By the way, the Corker Bill that related to the Iranian deal was a disaster. We talked about it on numerous occasions here. It was a sop to Obama. It was an absolute boneheaded move that was one of the many things that started alerting Republican voters that Republicans in Washington are not Republicans anymore, or at least not very often.

Corky is an NWO traitor. I bet his numbers against Marcia for the primary were really bad.

Marsha Blackburn is my rep, she’s a true conservative, and will definitely get my vote.

These guys sure haven’t a clue when it comes to tea leaves, and the rank and file Republican mindset these days.
Of course they were of the same mind in 1995, when they got upset Buchanan won New Hampshire, and they came unglued calling him the next Hitler.
The vote I cast for Dole that year was the first vote I have ever cast, that practically made me sick to my stomach.

Collins and Heller have an honorable out. They can run for Rino-friendly governor jobs. Support Collins ONLY if she PROMISES to offer her successor’s seat to LePage. Nevada is lost.

Yet another trans-pacific partnership (TPP) whore, go figure. Included powers for Obama to bypass congress as related to immigration law. Sounds like a traitor to me.

Makes me cringe to think of them in any political position.
You just know they would trash Trump every other hour.

Yes. Rush the Bushite is finally forced to recognize the Tamed Elephant in the middle of the American Living-room.
He does not want to appear ignorant or complicit to the growing numbers of his audience who are fully aware.

Give it a rest.
I didn’t know any conservative that wasn’t continually defending George W. Bush, against the Democrats and the national media.
His dad? Not so much.
To: YogicCowboy
Let me get this right. Are you labeling Rush, or yourself?
To: Kaslin
CTH personally prefers the term “The Big Ugly“. We’ve never tried to hide our desire to see the right-side of the DC UniParty apparatus destroyed. CTH has advocated or a common sense insurgency to take over the republican party for almost a decade.
So whether it is called “The Big Ugly”, or “The Storm”, it matters not. The important aspect is the result. To wit President Trump has our steadfast support.
The Ben Cardin and Bob Corker UniParty agreement to support and pass the 2015 Iran Deal, a centerpiece of Obama’s foreign policy legacy, showed yet again that only one political ideology runs through the halls of congress in Washington DC.
(Big Ugly)
There is an expression:
“I will leave you naked before your enemies”…
…A proactive assertion essentially stating: if you chose to engage in war with me – not only do I promise your defeat against my interests, but I will lay you open to exposure from all adversaries who will then take advantage of your new vulnerability.
President Donald J Trump has done a remarkable job filling the role behind this proclamation. In a seismic political shift Trump has gone far beyond drawing a line in the sand. He has openly dug a trench on his pre-selected battle space within encampments.
Without any apology or hidden motive, Trump has filled the trench with a highly explosive electorate fuel (the result from years of Republican lies and deceit) and he is openly standing behind his formation twirling a Zippo while looking toward the deceivers.
As a direct result our enemies inside the wire are being forced to expose themselves. The various “Robert’s-The Bruce”, per se’, are in a precarious position of attacking in vain effort to retain the necessary ruse. Consequently, they are exposing their alignment with usurping powers of Machiavellian intent. CTH Admin Menagerie took notice:
[…] Spent a few minutes reading a bunch of comments from counting their chickens before they are hatched Trump haters who went off on a tangent that Trump is next going to declare all out war on Congress and then they joyously slapped each others backs at the thought of him being so stupid as to do that to the very people who are waiting to impeach him because they have the real power.
These fruit fly maniacs are seriously deluding each other in their country clubs and on their golf carts. Frankly, in my business I have worked with just a few of them, and many are insufferably ignorant, just exactly as they seem.
Never have I seen so many people who live their lives in a tiny little bubble think they know so much about what is going on in the world. For God’s sake, they live in a gold plated petri dish.
I believe that the American people who elected President Trump are more committed than ever. After the election, seeing the putridity is even more deep and wide than we thought, and we knew it was bad, I happen to believe we have been validated, and that my fellow citizens do too.
Those of us who struggle every day, who work for a living, who either experience ourselves, or watch loved ones slowly sinking, knowing they are going under soon, from the final burden of Obamacare on a budget that had maybe a couple hundred extra dollars on a good month, those of us who lost good jobs during the Obama reign of terror, those of us who are watching the hordes of migrants kill and steal, drain and demand, and many of whom pay more in taxes than the median wage, we aren’t backing down. They will face a total rage sweeping across this land if they dare to try to take away the leader we chose. I will NOT be denied. I am not alone, not by a long shot.
The trouble is, they believe their own shit. Jonah Goldberg and all that crowd have not once looked around and said “Damn, we ain’t been right about anything for two years now. Maybe we should look around and see what’s going on.” No, they just keep believing in themselves because they still have their money, their select medical plans, their country clubs, and their isolated gated lifestyle.
Talking heads like Goldberg, and insert about twenty more here, are truthfully only pissed because we the unwashed people are not listening to them. They still cannot believe we have dared to not bow to the thinking of our betters. Then, we dared to not believe the lies of our political overlords. Then, we dared to ask them to make good on their rallying cries. We dared. How dare we.
I think that the election of President Trump might be a result of the changes they missed while drinking martinis and screwing us over again and again. People loathe Obamacare. We are fed up with paying for illegal immigrants to get care we can’t afford. We are watching every single development in Europe and seeing the writing they can’t read.
We really are almost at the point of nothing to lose.
I voted not for Republicans but for Trump. I swore never to vote Republican again. Now I face the age old dupe from them again. Can I bear to turn Congress over to the Democrats again with Trump in office? I don’t know, but what the hell are they giving me? I am probably going to violate my own oath and vote for Republicans while Trump remains in office, but the minute he is out, I want them dead. I want to see the party destroyed and I believe with all my heart and my pretty damned intelligent head that it has got to happen for us to win.
We are on the Republican plantation just like the poor inner city people who live in the projects are on the Democrat one. Same same. And they are getting a better fricking deal.
This country is boiling and they cannot see it. I want the blood of the Republican oligarchs.

Trace Corkers source of funds. Geo Soros Jr? The politician is surely deeply compromised. Sad waste of potential talent.
