Bob Corker - the author of the Corker Amendment - as Trump's VP? Really...?

If that's who Trump's aligning with inside what's left of the GOP, count me out.

Not Corker, there are many much better choices.

There are few VP choices that would make me rethink my support of Trump and Corker is one of them.

Corker’s part of the problem. He’s a RINO!

Corker adds absolutely nothing to the ticket. He reminds me of the public defender in My Cousin Vinnie. The only reason you’d put this guy on the ticket is if you wanted your VP to fade into the background. I call BS.

I’m betting he’s interested in learning more about the Iran deal so he can reference it in more detail in speeches and in debate.

Trump doesn’t align with anyone. Corker is the one going to Trump Tower. Probably needs money to pay for his reelection.

Geez people. Read the article. Nowhere does it say Trump is considering him. It says Republicans see him as a potential VP, not Trump. FReepers are so reactionary at times.

Corker is only marginally to the right of pantywaist Lamar Alexander. If this story is true it’s not a welcome sign. Of course, it could be no more than a head fake by the Trump campaign to win over some of the mushy middle-to-left of center Republicans.

After the Corker bill, this better be just the rumor for the day.

I suspect that this is just Trump playing the media, again.

One of the greatest pro wrestling managers, Bobby Heenan, said he had the easiest job in showbiz. If he wanted the audience to quiet diwn, he’d ask them to cheer. If he wanted them to make noise, he’d tell them to quiet down.

Trump knows media, news, news culture and popular culture. Contrast that with just about every Republican on the national scene, who are almost completely clueless about all of the above.

It’s a long time coming.

This is the guy who sold the Iran deal to Congress.

I am not a Trump supporter, but I was not going to vote third party, either. If Trump picks Corker or another Establishment trader, I will vote Libertarian.

DJT is a genius strategist.

I suspect he will not compromise his ultimate conservative principles and goals, while at the same time, employing his brilliant strategy to obtain his immediate goal of unifying the party.

I plan on chilling out and watching him at work, for US.

Corker is a Mid-South version of that worthless Texas Tick Turd, John Cornyn! Only difference is that he’s shorter!

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.

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.
