Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said on Tuesday that he wouldn't support President Trump in another election, saying Trump is "unable to rise to the occasion."
"Let's just put in this way, I would not do that again. ...I think [Trump]'s proven himself unable to rise to the occasion," Corker told CNN, asked if he regretted supporting him in the 2016 presidential race.
Corker's comments are the latest in a growing spat between the GOP senator and Trump that comes hours before the president is scheduled to visit Capitol Hill to meet with the Senate GOP caucus.
Trump lashed out on Corker via Twitter earlier Tuesday morning saying that he "helped President O give us the bad Iran Deal & couldn't get elected dog catcher in Tennessee, is now fighting Tax Cuts."

Corker Unleashes: Trump Be Remembered for ‘Debasement of Our Nation’
by Ken Meyer | 10:05 am, October 24th, 2017
Senator Bob Corker expanded on his previous comments today by tearing into President Trump over his dishonesty and “lack of desire” for political competence.
Earlier this morning, Corker and Trump reignited their recent feud by taking swipes at each other on TV and across Twitter. The outgoing chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee spoke to CNN’s Manu Raju, and he lamented that Trump “debases” the country with his regular falsehoods.
“I think world leaders are very aware that much of what he says is untrue. Certainly people here are because these things are provably untrue,” Corker said. “I don’t know why he lowers himself to such a low, low standard, and debases our country in a way that he does.” Corker wouldn’t say if Trump was a liar, though he remarked that “the president has great difficulty with the truth on many issues.” He also seemed to regret backing Trump in the 2016 election, saying he wouldn’t do that again since the president is “unable to rise to the occasion” of his station.
When asked if he thought Trump was a role model to children in the United States, Corker simply replied: “No, absolutely not.” The senator also reaffirmed his previous thoughts about how the country will be better off if Trump stands aside and lets officials like Rex Tillerson and James Mattis work without interference.

Enough sensible Republicans who stand between us and the abyss. 
Certainly more than that lame-ass McConnell.
It's too bad the nominees are all in office now, and there's no way to take back those votes. But once Tillerson is finally gone (quit or fired) there will be a new Secretary of State to be nominated. That's when we'll see how far Corker will go, maybe McCain too.
You vote with Dotard around 87% of the time...that's what counts.
