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.

I don’t think many of the ‘pundits’ understand Trump or can predict him. They’re so entrenched in the way they’ve always seen things done and understand that they ‘should’ be done.
Trump is a very individualistic ‘rogue’.

Picking ANY senator would be a bad decision. We barely have a majority in a year we have something like 24 seats to defend while democrats have only ten. Winning a senate seat in Tennessee is not a sure thing
This Tennessean knows the truth about both and votes against them. And won't vote for a Trump/Corker or Trump/Lamar run.
He best pick a CONSERVATIVE
Corker NOT NO, BUT HELL NO !!!!! I would rather see Scott Brown at least he has been VERY loyal to Trump!!!! Corker = TPP!!!!
The powers that be want anyone but Jeff Sessions...the ONLY one worth consideration.
Old Krauthammer would find this important ... because it's the ONLY thing loser elites HAVE - illusion of superiority.
DC elites ACT like they're competent... while we can see from the outcomes of their insane choices that they're NOT competent.
I don't want 'well spoken' I want choices that make my country strong.
THE LAST thing I care about is someone who puts on the show of being an elite. What's next? Are the elites going to start speaking with fake British accents? It's CRAP.
We the people want competent. NOT 'tone' and 'attitude' and superficial bullsh*t.

Oh, and this has nothing to do with Sen. Bob Corker - never heard of the guy... He might be fine... but I don't want VP chosen on the basis of 'who's the most superficial.."
