If that's who Trump's aligning with inside what's left of the GOP, count me out.
I would never add a current Rep or Senator to the ticket...they're not needed for him to get the job done.
Oh, please. In 4 weeks Trump named a prominent pro-life adviser, a key ant-”global warming” guy as energy adviser, and named his top 10 superb conservative USSC pick, and you’re worried about this?
I keep saying, historically veep is the place you put a guy you want to neuter. Yes, we have had 6 presidential deaths since 1865. Three of the beeps were improvements (Truman, Coolidge, Arthur), TR was a wash, LBJ and Johnson were disasters. So the historical record is one generally of removing political obstacles.
I don’t want Corker-—we will win TN without him, he can’t advise Trump, and squaring some of his positions with Trump on the campaign trail will be hard-—but I would much rather take him OUT of the senate than someone like Sessions, whom we need there. And finally, as tie-breaker he would have to vote Trump’s way.
But I don’t see him adding except by subtraction.
get real trump not this guy....hes the worst
Is this April the 1st?
he needs to pick somebody solid but also somebody who would appeal to women, to young people, to latinos, etc...
May not be any better, however, why would he want a VP from Tennessee? Usually it is a swing state...then again, he is not cut from the past mold.
Not another Senator please.
I bet this is a “balloon floating”.
It is true that TRUMP must be considering his real need for a competent legislative maneuverer, who knows the ropes on the Hill. He has said as much.
TRUMP also could use a foreign policy expert who knows how to unravel that Iranian give away deal and how the hell it happened.
I can see that Corker’s name would come up, and like Sessions, Corker has no real enemies among his colleagues, but kept his head down and did what was possible to slow Obama.
We need to study him a minute for his North American Union tendencies, which is a virus that is epidemic, on the Hill.
TRUMP does NOT appear in any way or word to be sympathetic to the NA Union, and seems revolted by the European model.
I can hold my fire, but not for very long, until Corker climbs back down from the Corker Bill that Cruz glommed onto.
Just sayin’.
PS: This may be a Jeff Sessions recommendation for all I know. What do you think?
Sessions seems to know who is a trust mate and who was not, in the Senate. He was fast enough to drop Cruz on his head.
Thankfully, Jeff’s guidance and opinions seem to mean something to TRUMP.
Corker is a dick
(Does that officially count as "damning with faint praise"?)
Corker is a sucker.
Oh, God, NO! ONE OF THE WORST!
Newsmax, where speculation meets the twilight Zone.
This is one of those fake stories. No one in the Trump campaign has even hinted at this. This is one of those lies that is an attempt to drive a wedge between Trump and conservatives reluctant to back him. Its a false flag.
If he picks Porker as VP stick a fork in him because Trump as a solution to all this mess will be done. He goes to the senate and finds one of the biggest RINO’s for a possible VP slot? Don’t lecture me folks Corker unfortunately is from my state. The DEM that ran against him last time was far more Conservative. Corker is among the worse of the worst in the GOP.
RINO. I’m from Tennessee. NO NO NO.
I don’t believe this at all. Mitch must be floating a baloon
Drive by media expects me to jump when they say so. Not buying it.
here is the original WP article.

Corker’s only claim to fame is he endorsed Trump early, while the other RINOs were still trashing Trump.
So I guess you could say that Corker is slightly smarter than other RINOs, and from that, DC RINOs extrapolate he is a possible VP pick.
“billions for Iran” Corker would be almost the worst possible choice. If Trump hears that loud and clear he will back off.
