Re: Corker removes himself from Trump's VP consideration
Who?
If I'm Trump, finding someone with a recognizable name is my first priority. Don't know who the **** this cocker guy is.
There's also been a number of people who are being 'very closely vetted' for the VP position.

Re: Corker removes himself from Trump's VP consideration
How many Democrats have removed themselves from consideration or publicly stated they would not be a good VP?

Re: Corker removes himself from Trump's VP consideration
He's Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Senate. He would have been a good get for Trump.

Re: Corker removes himself from Trump's VP consideration
I can't imagine any career politician with future aspirations wanting to jump on the Trump train at this point.

Re: Corker removes himself from Trump's VP consideration
He wasn't even listed as one of the top 14 options three months ago, and I saw on some other site he had the 22nd best odds. Originally Posted by FillJackson

Palin is the only one who will accept Trump's VP offer.

It also could have been that he was completely scared of the shitshow Trump is running. Originally Posted by UK2K

That could be enough for someone to go, **** this.

Re: Corker removes himself from Trump's VP consideration
The Trump VP search (and his campaign in general) is playing out like the Brexit fiasco overseas. Everybody wants to be down with the cause... Until it's time to actually be down with the cause.

Re: Corker removes himself from Trump's VP consideration
Yesterday was the perfect example. Stoker has to play nice and do the event or Trump will go on stage and scorch him like the NM Governor, but then when it actually comes time to join up they backtrack. Originally Posted by DonDadda59
