Donald Trump will meet Monday with Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, whom key Republicans consider a possible running mate for the presumptive nominee.

The pair is scheduled to meet at Trump Tower in New York City, The Washington Post reports, citing sources who asked not to be named.

Corker, 63, is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He is the former mayor of Chattanooga and was first elected to Congress in 2006.

He has had a key role in many foreign policy issues involving the Obama administration, including the Iran nuclear deal.

Bob Corker - the author of the Corker Amendment - as Trump’s VP? Really...?
If that’s who Trump’s aligning with inside what’s left of the GOP, count me out.


No problem. You can always go sit on the beach in Mexico next to conservative “fighter” Ted Cruz.

No Corker, don’t pop the Corker. When we have Newt, Sessions and Deming in the bullpen ready?

I don't believe Trump would select Bob Corker.

It would destroy any and all chance at winning, and severely undermine one of his principal advantages against the NeoCon Clinton.

Trump had to schmooze with a lot of slimy politicians in his business career. He didn’t make them partners. I think I will give him a fair amount of slack.

If Corker’s last name reflects what he does.........nope, don’t need him in a time where great action is needed efficiently and effectively.

It won’t be Corker.
TN is already in the bag so Trump doesn’t need him.
Most of the non-political will say “Who?”
He has no power in DC once McCain is gone.

Yeh I’m not seeing it. Likely Trump is just meeting with influential Republicans to unify the party.

Geez people. Read the article. Nowhere does it say Trump is considering him. It says Republicans see him as a potential VP, not Trump. Never Trump, FReepers are so reactionary at times.

If an article from the left wing media said Trump gets 50% of his oxygen from his left nostril, that would be enough for them not to vote for him.

What a bunch of pearl clutching woosies they are.


It's the summer silly season starting early. I don't know WTF gets into the heads of some people, is it some kind of amoeba from swimming in stale ponds or lakes? People are too quick to assume the worst.

Trump did not get to where he is by picking the WRONG people for whatever position(s) he was looking to fill.

He will choose wisely.

The VP candidate must ahere to the Presidential candidate’s agenda and policies. Not the other way around, folks. Dont go off the deep end now.

If this is a trial balloon it popped immediately and fell straight to the ground.

Seems pretty certain that the GOPE desperately wants to attach one of its worm politicians to Trump’s campaign.
