Trump Doesn't Want Corker to Run Again

February 13, 2018 at 7:50 pm EST By Taegan Goddard

Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) “has been reconsidering his decision to retire this year, but Mr. Corker’s hopes for retaining his seat are running into a potentially insurmountable object: President Trump,” the New York Times reports.

“Just over four months after Mr. Corker, upon declaring he would retire, unleashed a biting series of attacks on Mr. Trump, the president is refusing to bless his friend-turned-foe’s effort to re-enter the Republican primary race.”

“Instead, in a telephone conversation last week, Mr. Trump offered encouragement to Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), a conservative lawmaker and White House ally who has emerged as the favorite to win the Republican nomination for Mr. Corker’s seat.”

Bachman and Palin look great in comparison.
She is Anne Coulter type of nasty.
Hopefully, she does face Former Dem Tenn Governor Bredesen. I think he can beat her.
He would not beat Corker.
