Tenn. Senator Labeled A Top Trump VP Pick Meets With Trump Monday

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.

These media folks don’t have anything to do except try to make themselves relevant as “experts”. They twist the news into a whirlwind...and do nothing but damage.

Oh yes, I'm sure going to listen to Krauthammer. After all, he's been right on so many things this elections cycle ...said no one, ever!

He would undermine Trump’s anti-globalist efforts.

Krauthammer has proven that he knows nothing about Trump. His speculations on who Trump will select as VP are worthless.

The Kraut is a Socialist who makes a living laying out Faux-Conservative BS for human consumption.

Partisan Media Shills Alert!

This is a quote of a Washington ComPost piece, which quoted unnamed sources, and discusses Charles Krauthammer's odds-making vis a vis who will be the VP pick. IOW, probably garbage.

I hope Mr. Trump does not pick him. Corker needs to be primaried badly. Ultra RINO.

Corker is so pathetic last election I voted for the DEM running against him. The DEM was far more Conservative.

I don’t trust ANYTHING Krauthammer has to say.

Krauthammer is not on our side.

Mr. Trump, Corker would be a HORRIBLE choice! He is a RINO, among their leaders, and he sponsored the bill that allowed Obama to jam the Iran Enrichment and Nuclear Weapon Enabling Act down our throats.

If Corker is you VP candidate, I shall have to reconsider my support for you.

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE!

Hell, no, to my RINO Senator !

I second that.

Trump supporters best be worried here is why. In his last election the Tennessee DEMS did not as such run opposition to him. Rather a Conservative got on the DEM ticket by default. Corker has been a long time Ace up the sleeve of the DEM's.

Krauthammer hasn’t been right on anything in 20 years methinks

I remember when they first starting doing poker chips, he would put NONE on Trump, and joke that he would put 10 on Wine and Circus instead

As the week turned into months, he s l o w l y starting putting chips into Trumps pot

I swear, I don’t know why people think he’s such a genius, he’s about as current and relevant as George Will

Charles has no idea why folks are angry. Not long ago, I saw him spout off about how folks are revolting against the GOP because of the government shutdown that the TEA party forced. This guy has no clue.

Corker is a RINO. His personal business activities will not pass scrutiny.
