      CORKER rails on “cult-like” GOP, directing ire at GOP leadership for not wanting to take on Trump on core issues like trade: “We have an administration that wakes up everyday on an hoc basis, just making stuff up with no coherency to it,” he told us, pushing for his tariff plan

      “We’re in a strange place. It’s becoming a cultish thing, isn’t it? ... It’s not a good place for any party to have a cult-like situation as it relates to a president that happens to be purportedly of the same party,” Corker says

      Corker makes clear his ire is directed at GOP leaders more than rank-and-file. Asked him: You feel like it’s a cult-like situation in your party right now? “Leadership in general not wishing to poke the bear, absolutely, I mean because you know its all about the next election”

          The Senate Foreign Relations chairman doesn't know if he can trust what the president is saying about NK. On Trump saying he'll suspend 'war games:' "I don’t even know again if that’s real .. there's a lot of ad hoc comments that get made that end up not being reality."

          Corker on August recess: "There’s no question that leadership in general is weary of doing anything that might upset the president ... We’re going to be here during recess generally speaking which is fine with me but it's more about trump being upset than it is anything else."

          @BobCorker you have the chance to undercut this right now. If you and one other Senator leave the @GOP caucus, you could go independent and force a vote on a new majority leader. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DO SOMETHING. USE IT.

          I remember a lot of Republicans talking about having daughters and wives after Pussygate. “How can I look at my daughters again and support this monster?” Excuse me, Senator Corker, while I grab you a fainting couch.

          The GOP is dead. It’s the Trump Fascist Party & Dems. Moderate, patriotic, sensible conservatives will need to start a third party. They better cut their losses now and start that third party FAST, so we can band together and defeat the Trump Fascist Party.

          Iunno, 60 million people ready to support GOP agenda is a lot scarier than a handful of manipulative leaders.

          Corker, you're there because McConnell is denying campaign time for Democrats in a reelection year where almost all of the people up for reelection are democrats and safe Republicans.

          Here’s the thing about narcissists: they make you miserable even when they aren’t attacking you directly because they are still controlling you. Literally the only way out is to stand up to them firmly, every time.

          That cannot be true. Trumps endorsement is the kiss of death. It is something else- whatever it is must be sinister because Trump is a pariah. These Republicans are worried about something more than 'poking the bear' that is supposedly Trump. It's Putin.
