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.

Great job Trump u make excellent enemies
Yes, it does.
Awwww. Did they get sand in their panties?
This is great news! GO TRUMP!!
Wow....There’s two little quotes and the media provides the context...in their own words.
“””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. “”””
and that is exactly why he will win. Does corker prefer hildas speech where she said we should take all the guns instead? I love how Trump exposes these losers. He will kill the uniparty.
Congress all paid off by muslims.
Making enemies of those two sellouts is a badge of honor.
Let the panty boys take a seat as the only real man - Trump- shows them how it’s done.
Sad to see the party of Lincoln turn to -hit.
These traitorous wretches still don’t get it. They have two choices: 1. open their mouths and expose themselves for the rotten, stinking, filthy, ignorant, traitorous sacks of shit they are, or 2. shut the hell up and become irrelevant with the rest of the worthless traitors in the GOP. Thank you, Mr. Trump.
Good God.
I’m ready to bury the Republican party after this.
The Saudis have purchased the entire US government.
Speaking of being discouraged by the results, I would say Corker and Alexander have a real head start among voters.
He didn’t take umbrage with the judge being of Mexican descent... HE IS A MEMBER OF LA RAZA. I tell my friends it would be like me having my fate decided by a proud member of the KKK.
Corker is an Obama Iran Deal enabler, and GOPe scumbag.
Why would anybody care what he thinks, much less want him as a running mate?
(Don't gloat, Kentuckians… you aren't in much better "hands.")
