Donald Trump will meet Monday with Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, whom key Republicans consider a possible running mate for the presumptive nominee.
The pair is scheduled to meet at Trump Tower in New York City, The Washington Post reports, citing sources who asked not to be named.
Corker, 63, is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He is the former mayor of Chattanooga and was first elected to Congress in 2006.
He has had a key role in many foreign policy issues involving the Obama administration, including the Iran nuclear deal.

Corker is a joke. Trump’s supporters clearly expect and deserve to have someone on the ticket who is going to be a change agent, not someone who personifies the status quo.
We not interested in stroking GOPe egos; we want their asses kicked.
4 degrees before top dead center. ;)
Geez people. Read the article. Nowhere does it say Trump is considering him. It says Republicans see him as a potential VP, not Trump. Never Trump, FReepers are so reactionary at times.
If an article from the left wing media said Trump gets 50% of his oxygen from his left nostril, that would be enough for them not to vote for him.
What a bunch of pearl clutching woosies they are.
Yes, he was the State prosecutor.
I knew who he meant.
Hey, if you lived in a country where the leader was doing everything possible to destroy it and turn it into a borderless cesspool, you'd be a little reactionary as well. I think we FReepers have earned all the reactionary we can dish out!!
Corker is an idiot.
He is the author of the Iran Bill in which the Senate violated their treaty power.
Trump picking Corker would be like Clinton picking Rush Limbaugh.
So have your meeting with Corker, Mr. Trump. Just DON’T choose him as your running mate. This is the senator who accomplished so much in the TTP and TPA bill which you purport to dislike so much. Remember, the bill which drained AMERICA dry for generations to come. Advice to you is walk on by, while attending this meeting, moving on to other possibilities. VET THIS MAN THOROUGHLY!! He has removed his mask and WTP see him for what he is.
Corker is a weasel who brings nothing to the ticket.
The senator, however, has declined to say whether he was interested in the No. 2 slot on any presidential ticket.
“I just have no reason to believe I’m being considered for that,” Corker told reporters earlier this month, the Post reports.
It is a NOTHING story. The headline is made up crap. No quotes from Trump, direct or paraphrased. Trump wants someone who could be pres and shares his views.
Newsmax is a joke. A meeting does not mean possible VP.
You think that is it???
I don’t know, but Trump has done some very timely things, hasn’t he???
The convention is July 18–21. Trump is a reality TV star. Surely, he wouldn't broadcast the last episode of the season 8 weeks before the end of the season. Who would watch the last 8 weeks?
Trump should meet with anyone who is a plausible (or implausible) candidate to encourage speculation!
Speculation, Inc.
EVERYONE Trump meets with between now and the actual announcement is, according to some pundit/commentator/lobbyist, being considered for the VP spot.
‘The Short List’ seems to get revised every day, as someone, who shouldn’t, opens his/her mouth.
Not Bob Corker, Please not old Bob. Trump can do a lot better with anyone else.
Didn’t the Public Defender have a tendency to stutter a bit? :-) This seems to happen to a good many politicians as well. Good Movie, yuets.

Author of the Corker Capitulation!?
NO!!!!!
He has had a key role in many foreign policy issues involving the Obama administration, including the Iran nuclear deal.Anyone that's seen more than one Trump rally knows how he feels about the disaster known as the Iran nuclear deal.
There is NO WAY Trump is interviewing Corker for VP...He's more likely to ask...WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?
