Republican senator says Trump yet to demonstrate needed stability

Senator Bob Corker, unleashing one of the most pointed attacks from a Republican official on President Donald Trump, said on Thursday the president had not yet shown the "stability and competence" the United States needs, nor an understanding of the nation's character.

"The president has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability, nor some of the competence, that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful," Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations, told reporters after an event in Tennessee.

"The president has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability, nor some of the competence, that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful," Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations, told reporters after an event in Tennessee.

Just under 63 million voters, 304 Electoral Votes, and 30 states agreed that President Trump had demonstrated the necessary traits to serve as President of the United States of America. How successful he will be depends on both his skills and GOP loyalty. Given the loyalty of Corker and his ilk, Trump will need impressive skills. With or without those skills, Trump is President unless and until the House and the Senate impeach and convict him of high crimes and misdemeanors, which does not include doubts on his "stability" or even "competence" - those traits were approved by we the people.

[The Republican party has become a circular firing squad. They’re stupid, weak, cowardly, traitorous, ungrateful maggots who do nothing but suck up taxpayer $$$.]

Its what happens to a party with no core that exclusively serves corporate lobbyists.

Funny you should mention Yeb.

The plan is to remove Trump, put Pence in, and Pence nominates to bipartisan acclaim his choice for VP: Jeb.

I just tweeted to him we’d primary his rear out of office. Let’s get some good candidates and support them against all of the swamp things.

So says the guy who co-sponsored the bill - signed by Obama - that legalized the Iran nuclear deal. A bill which, btw, up-ended the US Constitution by explicitly stating that the Iran deal was NOT a treaty (despite being an agreement with a foreign power), and that any attempt to overturn it needed to be done as another law - i.e. subject to Presidential veto. Obama and the Dems knew - and so did Corker - that once it passed, it was a fait accompli.

THAT is who Corker is - the guy who gave us the Iran nuclear deal and shat all over the Constitution. This swamp creature needs to be primaried!

This from the traitorous author of the “Corker Amendment”, which approved Obama’s deal with Iran and turned the Constitution on it’s head, requiring 2/3 vote to STOP the deal.

In both houses of congress.

It’s a higher threshold than Impeachment and conviction.

He’s a TRAITOR to the United States and the American people. His fate should be to swing on the end of a rope.

The deplorable state of the “nations character” is why Present Trump was elected by the American people. It is President Trump’s adherence to his campaign promises and loyalty to the principles of our Republic that Corker finds unstable and incompetent. Corker is part of the Establishment.

Tennessee routinely sends some real beauts to the Senate-Corker is a RINO Deep State guy as is Lamar Alexander and Al Gore before them. I liked Fred Thompson but all these guys get corrupted once in the Senate.

Corker and Alexander both need to be voted out.

They are Democrats, so primary them or vote for the Democrat on the other side of the aisle.
