    Corker, fired up on floor, says GOP won’t let him get a vote on floor because they are scared about fighting w Trump. “We might poke the bear!” referring to Trump. “My gosh if the president gets upset with us we might not be in the majority,” he says, referring to his colleagues

        Corker takes a whack at Cornyn, who told us last week they wanted to avoid a fight with Trump over tariffs headed into midterms. “I heard the senior senator from Texas say, ‘We might upset the president of the United States before the midterms.’ ... I can’t believe it.

        I'm happy with a purple wave if it stops Trumpism and the total destruction of our country. Flake and Corker don't need to try to be fake Dems like @RWPMinnesota. But if they'd grow a spine and take ACTION it would be appreciated. Russia is not welcome in our elections!

        I had an America the Beautiful lyric recall problem there for a second. It's amber waves of grain, and purple mountains. Not purple waves of grain. Unless... Is ergot purple? Sorry. I had a migraine earlier. Sumatriptan sorted the head pain, but brain is VERY fuzzy right now.

        He’s not a liberal Democrat. That’s not how this works. He’s going to vote like a conservative regardless of what the president does.

        Fact of the matter is... If 2 of these GOP senators ranting on the floor (like @jeffflake) wanted, they could switch sides (even temporarily) & force votes on things they want... Funny how the ones leaving are the ones raising a stink, but not actually doing anything about it...

        Giving the Dems the majority and the committee chairs just to get a couple bills through would be the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face. They’re simply not Democrats nor will they ever be. Besides, the leftist Dems would never take them.

        You cut of your nose to spite your face. You continue to help Trump remain in power, because you think Dems being in power is worse. When it comes down to it you still think Obama, HRC, or another Dem is worse than Trump the Republican Dictator. Pure Party of Country.

        I believe they are afraid that Glorious Leader will use His Absolute Power to dissolve Congress and declare the suspension of the midterm elections “in the name of National Security”.
