Apparently Sen. Corker owns the last set of ... well, you know, in DC. And now, he's leaving.

One can’t help but have second thoughts about our POTUS.

I find this tidbit from the article a hoot though...

Still, even as he leveled his stinging accusations, Mr. Corker repeatedly said on Sunday that he liked Mr. Trump, until now an occasional golf partner, and wished him “no harm

I am pretty sure that if his voters put any thought into voting for him in the first place, there would be no need for "second thoughts" now.

That’s what happens when Dems decide to pay back a perceived debt by running a jerk.

A jerk that at least is competent and mentally fit for office. Moreover, that doesn't explain why Republicans, despite a very crowded field, gave Trump more primary votes than any other Republican candidate in history. That is not the Democrats fault.

I used to think that but when you stop and consider the gambit of GOP contenders he knocked out of the conservative side. He seemed to be the right snake oil salesman at the right time to appeal to a minority of voters in control of a majority of electoral votes.

I believe he could have run against Lincoln and still gotten the win and no 'librul' could stand up to his (and the Russians' ) attacks or sunk to his level.

It's difficult to blame the Dems when the GOP put Trump up to run, the party who used to claim to be the adults in the room, responsible and all that other crap... :peace

Good points all. Except the Russian interference part. I have read that it was Russia’s intent to cause tremendous discord with their fake ads. Since we have yet to see them, what advertising would cause the most discord...focus on Trump? Or focus on Hillary? Or some of both? They should release those ads! And I have a feeling i know Why they’ve chosen not to.

You are saying that like Trump has been deemed incompetent and not mentally fit for office by somebody other than talking heads on TV.

Trump is deemed incompetent and mentally unfit by anyone with a shred of dignity and objectivity about them. Corker is only saying what damn near everyone in his own party thinks. I would bet my retirement on history books a hundred years from now saying that Trump is the most unfit president in American history. If we could have somehow dug up Richard Nixon and reanimated his corpse, he would have made a better president than Trump.

Not a day has gone by since Trump has been elected that I have not wished that Romney had been elected in 2012 so we would have never had this incompetent asshole as our president today.

I'm sure you can read all manner of things about what the Russians wanted to achieve with their ads, but facebook and google have admitted the Roosians pours millions into fake news attacks posts on their respective social media outlets.

Congress is looking into this now, I have a feeling you chose not to admit outside influence helped shape the vote.

But nice you admit big blame can be laid on the doorstep of the so-called party of responsible, reasoned government in voting this circus freak to run... :peace

I understand that is the narrative in the media, but that has nothing to do with reality.

Sorry trump lies squarely with the voters in the republican primaries. Those voters had over ten candidates and decided as a group that they would rather have trump represent republicans .

Sorry dude, but you are absolutely delusional. The media could have been silent for a year now and all one would have to do is read Trump's twitter feed to see that he is a deeply disturbed individual.

That was clearly the Russians.

Of course it's all the Democrats fault. Not the voters. Why didn't I think of that?

Nixon’s un-reanimated corpse would also be more fit for the presidency than Trump is.

Nixon, for all his faults, was highly competent. In a lot of ways he was a good president.
