Conservative activists in Tennessee are unhappy with Sen. Bob Corker and prepared to put their money and manpower behind a strong Republican primary challenger if one emerges.
Mark Green, the state senator who was President Trump's first choice for Army secretary, is their preferred candidate. Green is weighing a 2018 bid, and is the sort of formidable candidate who could clear the field of other Republicans eying the race.
That's important, because Tennessee's conservative power brokers, led by wealthy Nashville automobile dealer Lee Beaman, aren't interested in waging a quixotic battle against Corker. They want to back a winner.
But it also shows just how vulnerable the Senate Foreign Relations chairman could be heading into the midterm. Lingering anti-establishment fervor is driving restlessness with Corker on the Right.
They don't appreciate his moderate tone, a throwback to an era when Tennessee Republicans preferred genteel statesman in the mold of Howard Baker, Bill Frist and Sen. Lamar Alexander, who barely escaped his own primary in 2014 over a little-known state legislator.

Good. Whoever it is will get a donation from me.
I can’t believe the great state of Tennessee has the 2 biggest RINO losers in the Senate.
We just rid ourselves of Corker.
This is the way it gets done. Primary these Godless Republicans out of office, pronto.
Short of voting for a Democrat, or not voting at all, these lifeless UniParty traitors have got to see defeat, or we’re dead in the water, America.
These guys are Democrats, vote with Democrats, thwart conservative bills, and work against the people of the US.
Is there a republican in Maine who could get elected?
If Corker loses Alexander should resign and let someone else have a heads up for 2020-coat tails from Trump.
A Republican in Maine? Sore, it’s Governor LePage-not running.
Alexander would have been better than Dole in 96’. Water under the bridge.
I have to disagree with you on that one. Arizona has Flake and McCain, the poster boys for repealing the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
“Time to gear up to oust these liberal republicans! “
The time to have done the ousting was a few years ago. Now we have these feckless turds doing all within their power to destroy Trump and this country’s last chance to avoid the permanent chains of Marxism/ Socialism. And Corker is just another example of a smarmy little effer with a lot of money.
Power brokers in Tennessee want to back a winner? I say win or lose with Trump. Getting tired of this shit.
We here in TN can’t believe it, either. Just about every day I have to drive on Lamar Alexander highway and I throw up a little in my mouth.
The winners victory speech on primary night “I wouldn’t want my name to be Jeff Flake”. “He’s next!”
I am tired of his changing his mind. He will not get zip from me.
From your lips to God’s ears. We are so close to being cooked, it’s scary.
I blame the results of Public Education and Academia over the last 70 years. Classical Education and Christianity were drummed out of education and these creatures are the results, now with a cold grip on our schools and government.
When the older generation is gone, the USA will be in dire straits. It is up to us to remind Americans who we were, in our traditions and our faith. Trump was a God-send.
But, then what? We have until 2020.
As far as I’m concerned, every Republican who voted for the Russian sanctions bill that landed on Trump’s desk needs to be primaried.
I agree with you. The RINO anti Trumper’s need to be tossed out. Hopefully, TN can get rid of Corker and AZ can get rid of Flake in the primaries.
