Bob Corker sees Trump’s ‘maturity’ where none exists

[spanone]

shame on my senator - trump would be a foreign policy DISASTER

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) has defended Donald Trump, even when it didn’t make coherent sense to do so, and yesterday he continued to run interference for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Corker a good question: “Which specific ideas of Donald Trump on foreign policy are you enthusiastic about, are you ready to fight for?” The senator replied:

“So I think – here’s what I have seen in many of the statements that he’s made. It’s something that Secretary Baker would – it’s a degree of realism coming back into our foreign policy.

“For years, we’ve had neocons on the Republican side. We’ve had liberal internationalists on the Democratic side. And I think bringing that maturity back into our foreign policy is something that’s important. So I see a degree of maturity stepping in. I’ve obviously encouraged that.”

1. He was on Moaning Joe today.

Trying to remember how he phrased this; something about Trump not having firm ideas and policies to fix problems because he hasn't hired campaign & policy people. Sounded to me like he was admitting that DT doesn't have a clue how to address current US issues.

On edit: Corker was exceptionally manipulative and dishonest today.

2. it's preposterous to claim that trump is 'mature' in his foreign policy? he has no foreign policy.

nothing. zip. zero. nada.

4. As I was watching it, I was thinking.....

Good luck, Senator! He actually thinks he can help trump become more "presidential"! I am pretty sure that trump does not accept help graciously nor does he admit to having any shortcomings.
Didn't Ryan try to "educate" him, too? How did that work out?

6. "...degree of realism," huh? Bless his heart.

These would-be enablers so deserve to drown under a pile of self-destructed orange Trump goo. Lacking that satisfying picture, maybe Corker will still be covered with Trump goo in 2018 when he's up for reelection.

3. Yes. Shame on my Senator as well. He is so desperate to be picked as Trump's

Veep that he has suspended any sense he had. Pitiful.

5. Aaah. Michael. Someday there'll be Senator Corker...Governor Corker...who knows?

Maybe Vice President Corker?

7. Sen. Corker is VERY enthusiastic about Trump's foreign policy

It's just that he can't think of one specific idea that makes him so enthusiastic. "All of them, Katie!"

8. I Read An Article About A Month Ago...........

............that basically said that Corker is a "virtual lock" to be named Drumpf's choice for VP. So gee whiz, what a surprise that he heartily endorses everything Der Drumpf says. On another note, just imagine how much fun it will be to have a "Trump-Corker" ticket. It makes you think about what a "Trump Corker" might look like. I think it sounds like a euphemism for this:
