Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee did not rule out a run in 2020 against President Donald Trump when asked about it by reporters Friday, saying hes focused on the next 14 months of his term and isnt thinking that far ahead.
The noncommittal response came as Corker doubled down this week on criticism of Trump, calling him utterly untruthful and responsible for the debasement of our nation.
You know, I dont know what Im doing next Sunday, the senator responded when reporters asked about a potential presidential bid.
Corker said it was far too soon to say if he would want a strong Republican primary challenge of Trump, whether by him or someone else.
I think that if you even begin thinking those things, everything you do becomes viewed through a different lens, Corker said generally about presidential ambitions.
And any impeachment of Trump isnt realistic today and is not going to happen, Corked added.
At a Tennessee economic development conference Friday, attendees applauded Corker and laughed when Sen. Lamar Alexander and state economic development chief Bob Rolfe joked about Corkers recent fame. It marked his first public appearance in Tennessee since his latest round of feuding with Trump, which garnered national attention.
Corker, a businessman who isnt seeking re-election in 2018, said he has been received similarly well elsewhere of late.
The Chattanooga Republican said he wasnt surprised, though, to see his polling numbers worsen in a recent survey conducted Oct. 16-23, just before this weeks latest round of back-and-forth jabs with Trump. Corkers disapproval rating increased to 41 percent, a 14-point increase compared with last spring in the Middle Tennessee State University poll. His approval dropped 8 points to 45 percent, though he deemed his approval still pretty high for an incumbent.

The Creature From The Swamp.
The fumes from the swamp have obviously made him delusional. He’d get even fewer votes than Linda.
You go ahead and do that Bob. Be sure to let us know how that all works out if you can manage to get enough signatures to even run for dog catcher.
I’ll bet he has ruled out spending any of his own money on that run.
Bob couldn’t even win Tennessee now. He’s just trying to stay relevant.
He should join the Megyn Kelly show instead, and end his misery sooner.
Corker is corrupt and I hope more Never Trumpers like him go the same way.
I think we’ll also see Comey and Mueller running. The swamp creatures are scared to death that PRESIDENT Trump is going to mess up their big money gig in the D.C. swamp.
*rolls eyes*
Algore couldn’t win Tenn either. haha
Corker’s Winning Bush Platform:
More Wars
Tear Down the Wall
More Mexicans
More Muslims
Higher Taxes
Socialized Medicine
No Borders
End Sovereignty
The same Corker that inverted Congressional authority over treaties?
Who knows what the dirtbag Corker granted Obama?
He might want to closely guard his capacity for reason.
If he gives it a chance it will escape into the wild...
Leaving him to look like a fool with a neck and shoulders...
All these people who talk about running against Trump in 2020 like Mark Cuban, Oprah, Corker, Milt, Fauxcohantas and Al Franken seem to forget that you need voters that’ll vote for you.
Just go away and quietly live your life, Bob.
I don’t rule out possible confinement to the looney bin for this clown.
Corker is what 5’7” compared to Trump’s 6’2”? This should be fun.
Corker’s chances of being elected President against ANY opponent are SLIM and NONE.
A result of eating too much cabbage.
So Corker can join Flake and share the 10 to 15% of the non-Trump vote in the Republican Primaries in 2020.
I guess he’s free to do so, but it does seem pretty silly.
