A prominent Republican senator delivered a stinging rebuke Thursday of Donald Trump’s short time in office, declaring he has not shown the stability or competence required for an American president to succeed.

Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, also said Trump “recently has not demonstrated that he understands the character of this nation.” During comments to local reporters after a speech to the Chattanooga Rotary Club, Corker called for “radical changes” in how the Trump White House operates.

His remarks, which were posted on Facebook, came two days after Trump declared at a New York press conference that white supremacists don’t bear all the blame for the violence last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia. The president’s remarks have triggered a firestorm of protest, with a number of Republicans criticizing Trump for giving weight to the complaints of white nationalists by refusing to definitively condemn them.....

Could've been written by Corker's press secretary.

Corker voted for Rubio’s amnesty bill.

The Corker bill was used to stand the Constitution on its head so the Kenyanesian Usurper could get his Iran “deal”.

Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake MUST GO in 2018!

Probably was.

President Trump "understands the character of this nation" far better than this "Republican" Senator does - and needs change nothing.

Corker is up for re-election.
IF you know anyone in TN, make sure they understand what this POS has done and what he stands for.
Time for him to be GONE.

Corker should be a little bit more focused about thinking about the regards of the people of Tennessee.

President Trump has been working to bring back the manufacturing jobs our previous presidents shipped over seas, rebuild our infrastructure, and crack down on human trafficking

Meanwhile all the left and the RINOs can do is parse everything he says in search of some word they think he should have said but didn't, and make a big deal about it.

I love Trump more every day. He needs to take off the gloves and really drain the swamp

Corker needs to think about the nation. He obviously hasn’t in the past

Does Corker have blinders on? Or, does he live in an alternative universe? Maybe he is just blinded by his own importance?

Hey, Corkoff... Trump IS thinking about the nation. Every day, in fact. Unlike you and the rest of the Navel Contemplation Society in the Senate.

At this point, the question is, are there any good Republicans?

It looks like President Trump will be visiting Tenn. for a rally soon. I wonder if Corker will show up?

To watch his challenger receive a presidential endorsement.
