As some Republicans struggle with justifying their support for Donald Trump after a series of controversies including his recent attack on an American-born judge for his Mexican heritage and a doubling down on his call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S. the two Republican senators from Tennessee aren't lending their overt support.
Sen. Lamar Alexander isn't calling Trump the GOP nominee just yet, as reported by an Associated Press reporter.
When his office was asked about the comments, Communications Director Jim Jeffries confirmed them and said, Republicans officially choose our nominee in July. Sen. Alexander has said he will support the Republican nominee when we have one.
And Sen. Bob Corker told reporters at the Capitol that Trump's speech following the worst mass shooting in American history "wasn't the type of speech one would expect" from a presidential candidate.
In an effort to be constructive, I have offered public encouragement at important times, but I must admit that I am personally discouraged by the results," Corker said, according to his office. Corker has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential pick for Trump.

I knew a liberal who hated Corker when he was first running for the senate. Liberals are so dumb they won’t support a flaming lib if he’s a flaming lib republican.
I’m not sure the gop is going to allow Trump to get the nomination. At this point they just don’t care about the voters.
I suggest we stop calling it the gopE. It’s simply the gop.
Just like “radical islam”. It’s simply islam.
The ONLY reason these two RINOs are in office is because two conservatives split the vote in the primary and these two slimeballs slipped in.
Both those guys need to be swept out of office during the Trump administration.
We have to drive 7 miles on Lamar Alexander Hwy. every day. Bleecccch. Nobody here likes him much as far as I can tell.
Get on the Trump train or be left behind!

I agree. Butcher of Benghazi enabling is mainline GOP behavior. Main Street USA Patriots are now the real RINOs.
What exactly did you find offensive about Trump's speech Senator? I see a very good speech, one that Republicans are too afraid to muster up the courage to say. You are are worthless POS, Senator, and I hope not for long.
You are are worthless POS, Senator, and I hope not for long.
The GOP simply won’t defend us. Ever. IRS assaults, Physical assaults in Chicago and San Jose, murdering islamic terrorist in San Berdoo and Orlando, etc., etc. The GOP is completely AWOL. How pathetic is that?
Saying what Trump says requires one to make a principled stand. Who would expect these jellyfish to say and do anything different other than to wilt like a flower when they are questioned by the MSM? They are part of the problem and the enemy just as much as the Rats are. This is a 2 pronged war. Thankfully we have a more than competent leader with a steel spine.
There are so many senior GOP leaders who are working to undermine Trump and actually working to elect Clinton that it doesn’t seem possible to reform the party. There needs to be a reeducation flying squad that explains that if these turncoats help elect Hillary, that they won’t have a country to go back too.

We’ve been fired by the GOP. It seems they don’t want us in the party. They would rather be generals without an army and lose elections than govern in a patriotic manner. They are comfortable being the minority party while the Dems allow open borders and install a European style social welfare state. The GOP figures they can make a come back as a more leftist political party in the future, IMO.
Imagine Senator Ed Bryant...
I voted for him in the primary and again in Nov that year...
I think everyone all over TN knew that Van “Hillary” was a spoiler...
He had no money left of his own to keep on...
They’ll see theirs soon enough. Gop e pukes are falling right and left. Vurginia voters about to bag another RINO
Islamic training camps are dotted all over this country!
Dress in camouflage & head coverings with eyeholes.
Crawl around on the ground on their bellies. - Out here,
the limestone sinkholes are also crawling with pit vipers
& crawling around is just plain ignorant! - I guess it saves
on bullets - for us!
Corker and Alexander are both traitors who should be run out of office.
The Volunteers never seem to get it right. Have they had anyone good since Davy Crockett?
Called both their local offices and gave an earful. Don’t let these losers get away with this. Protest!
The NRCC called me today and said they were calling on behalf of the NRRC and Donald Trump. I responded nice try buddy but I will be donating directly to the candidate. I am tired of financing RINO’s. He was not happy. Be aware of this tactic.
