      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."

          What?? What can Trump do to you? What happened to putting your Flag first? The #Republicans I grew up with were "Anti-Commie" and "Anti-Red". Now they're whipped corwards, complacent and complicit. #Depressing

          "...leadership in general is WARY of doing anything..." I would imagine they could also be weary of doing anything that might upset the president, but since they haven't really done anything yet it's hard to think they'd be tired of it already.

          Sounds like a dictatorship to me. Why does it matter who the person is that is filling the role of the president? If that is the case, then we are proving that the law does not overrule a governing body that is intimidating. That in itself goes against all that we stand for.

          Reps & Senators have 1 job - to do what the majority of their constituents want. If they're afraid of losing because they oppose Trump, obviously the majority of their constituents want him supported.

          Seems like Republican voters forgot what a republican government is, the elected representatives are to follow their conscience and the Constitution not one man.

          No, they aren't supposed to follow their conscience. A representative government is just that - we can't all go to Washington to vote, so we elect someone to go in our place. They are supposed to do what we say. They don't answer to Trump, they answer to us.

          That would be puppets of the people not representatives.

          Corker is finished. He knows it. He challenged Trump and lost. Just like Clinton. Just like Comey. Just like the media. If you can't stand the heat Corker, get out of the kitchen.

          @SenBobCorker Great, just great. So you're all going to sit there in silence save for the occasional squeak, when you rise with purported indignation. Then you just crawl back in your hole and leave it all to a grifter who doesn't have enough experience to run a lemonade stand.
