Senator Corker Criticizes Trump's Speech

This is all I have. This is a reporter covering the Trump campaign, and he just Tweeted this:

Sen Corker on Trump: "It wasn't the type of speech one would expect" from potential president. Says he's "discouraged" by the campaign.

A few minutes later he Tweeted:

Trump seems to be on his own today as Obama, Clinton, Reid all bash away. Sen Jeff Sessions only one to praise him today on hill.

The man is literally fighting his own party, although I thought Corker usually liked Trump. I've seen him defending him on TV. I don't know what prompted this as I thought it was a good speech, and to say this on a day when Obama gets out there spewing his usual rhetoric? Not one Republican on Capital Hill defended Trump? This furthers my theory the establishment would rather he lose to continue business as usual politics.

Corker's name was tossed about for VP, but I think Trump would be a fool not to pick Sessions. A more loyal supporter you won't find. I like Hunter Jr. if he's going with someone younger who would be the future of the party, but Sessions is a phenomenal pick.

Jeff Flake:

GOP Sen Flake of AZ hopes Trump will change his policy positions,”but I’m not optimistic.”

Even Allen West is a good pick.

What’s going on? It was a perfectly fine speech. I guess truth really is revolutionary and the old reactionaries are scared.

Corker’s masters from the cheap labor express told him to get back on message.

Good. Sounds like Corker has been ruled out if he was ever even being considered.

No way!! Allen West has been very critical of Trump for a long time. Im surprised he doesn;t end his posts with the #NeverTrump tag.

Soon to be Vice President Sessions, imo.

Corker is learning like Renee Ellmers did in that endorsing Trump will not necessarily lead to favor with the electorate.

Let the political triangulation (Trump v Ds & Rs) begin!

Is not this so telling?

Here is the GOP's nominee, in a GOP controlled Senate, and all of sudden these worthless gasbags can't find their tongue to fight back?

FUGOP.

Nearly all of Congress is PC, and earnestly promotes "diversity is a strength," as well as relatively open borders / globalist view of the world. This is what is being taught, and failure to adhere to those tenets is a disqualifier to obtaining party support. Trump gets over the bar becuase he has enough money and name recognition of his own. Anybody else with the views Trump expresses would be ignored by the party.

Corker is choosing sides, and probably all of his friends are anti-Trump. I would guess that the number of anti-Trump politicians willing to say so is samll, compared with the number of anti-Trump politicians who pretend to accept Trump.

It is very safe to assume that Corker is a liar and a charlatan. If he was honest, he would not have been admitted to the club.

Wasn’t Corker the one who gave Obama congressional cover for his disaster of a deal with Iran - the “Corker amendment”. Sounds like he’s also been bought and paid for by the muzzies.

Is that it? This is crazy.

Charles Krauthammer said last night that Hillary is was cynical liberal and that he preferred cynical libs over ideologues. So we know who he is voting for. After all, he voted for Obama at least once.

Boycott Fox!

Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander are both beholden to Islamic interests... and what is more, they were probably gotten fairly cheaply.
