Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., was labeled by Charles Krauthammer on Friday as the pundit’s leading pick to be the running mate of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The Washington Post, citing unnamed sources, said Corker will be meeting Monday with Trump at Trump Tower in New York City
Krauthammer used a hypothetical pot of $100 in casino chips to make his point, putting $25 on Corker, $20 on former Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., $20 on Ohio Gov. John Kasich, $10 on former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and $5 on Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint. The rest went to “the field,” Krauthammer said, acknowledging, “I have no idea.”
Corker has “a bit of gravitas” and “spoke well” of Trump’s late April major foreign policy address, Krauthammer said.
Corker is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Neither his office nor the Trump campaign would comment for the record about Corker’s chances of being Trump’s running mate.

Not a good choice.
He’s left of most of the RINOs.
More Kabuki theater. I think Corker would be near the bottom of the list.
Kraut is simply wrong IMHO about the odds he gives Scott Brown. Same for Kasich. Trump will carry Ohio.
No way in hell he chooses Corker..if he does say hello to President Hillary
Kraut is about as good as Bill Kristol at understanding Trump.
Has Krauthammer learned *NOTHING*?
“Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., was labeled by Charles Krauthammer on Friday as the pundit’s leading pick to be the running mate of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.”
Krauthammer has been wrong about everything. He admitted it himself. Who keeps writing this propaganda pushing Corker?
But Lamar! is still available. :)
I hope Mr. Trump does not pick him. Corker needs to be primaried badly. Ultra RINO.
Be patient.
I am very patient....I’m waiting to hear from Trump, out of his own mouth, who his V.P. is instead of letting some idiot new paper journalist or talking head tell me, or some nit wit on line media hack....
Hell, no, to my RINO Senator !
Kick him upstairs to the VP slot and hire a food taster. Oren Hatch should have been nominated to the Supreme court by Reagan after Bork. Kick Lindsey Graham to State, Defense, or Atty Gen. He would be conservative there.
Very bad choice.
Dear Donald;
You can do better. In fact you can do a hell of a lot better,
Mis direction..... Corker isn’t on the list....well s**t list maybe...
NO

This feels like a butter-up show “interview”. The real thing is likely to be kept under wraps until finally decided.
