Sen. Bob Corker is the kind of politician who typically could stay in the Capitol for as long as he wants. A former mayor of Chattanooga and a successful businessman, the Tennessee Republican was reelected in 2012 with 65% of the vote in a reliably red state.
But Corker announced this week that he would not seek a third term in the 2018 midterm elections.
Asked about the retirement Thursday, Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, his colleague on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told a reporter that Corker was “not happy.” Were any other senators unhappy as well? “About 99 that I know,” McCain said.
It was a joke, but there was a kernel of truth in it. The repeated failures to repeal the Affordable Care Act and the upcoming slogs over tax cuts and the status of undocumented people brought to the U.S. as children have made the job of a Republican lawmaker less fun lately.

Good. I love all this winning.
They are not “moderate republicans”; they are liberal republicans otherwise known as traitors, backstabbers, pedophiles, and swamp creatures.
No it wouldn’t. Moderate conservatives would be fine. Corrupt traitorous leftwing swamp rats though.....
They say it like it was a bad thing.
Interesting how progs are concerned about the GOP moderates, isn’t it? Whatever will they do with a GOP that comes from the people instead of the establishment?
I’m so irritated with the career GOPe that all I can say is “Bye.”
“Whose Party!
Our Party!”
The slimmest book in the world is -—
Things achieved by moderates
There’s a new sheriff in town
Good news!
I hope it becomes a RINO STAMPEDE!.........................
But what happened to moderate Democrats under Obama and Hillary?
This is very telling. What the hell are they unhappy about -- someone in the White House who has called them out for not doing their damn jobs?
Good.
Good.
We need new Republicans.
The ones we have only want amnesty for illegal aliens and their employers.
The last 8 years saw a purge of Moderate Democrats as the party swung to the far left, now we’re seeing a similar effect on the GOP, albeit a slower and more tedious process. “Bipartisanship” is a thing of the past because it became a farce where conservatives always lost ground and were forced to compromise our values. There is no “middle ground” any longer.
Defund/defang/vote out the undocumented Democrat traitors in Congress!
Trump is flushing out all the Rino’s and Undocumented Democratic plants in Congress!
President Trump and we will get rid of Undocumented Democrats posing as Republicans in congress!

Wow. This story tries to make it seem like Republican Senators are the VICTIM here?
Hope and pray that it does.
