WASHINGTON (AP) — Outgoing Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee is sticking by his decision not to campaign against the Democrat seeking to fill his seat.
Corker says he considers the Democrat, former Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen (BRED’-uh-sen), a “friend.” Corker backs Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn but says he won’t oppose Bredesen.
The Washington Post reported that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had privately told Corker that his friendly comments about Bredesen risked Republicans’ ability to hold their majority in the November elections. Republicans hold a slim 51-49 advantage in the Senate.
Asked why Blackburn is a better candidate, Corker responded: “I think most people in our state … will focus on the first vote she makes, and that’s the vote to elect the majority leader.”
Corker spoke Sunday on ABC and CNN.

I will be so glad when this asshole goes to K street or MSNBC or wherever it is that he cannot cast votes for a whole state anymore. He is a menace to our republic, as proven by his complicity in Obama’s Iran deal. Tennessee is going down the tubes if it keeps sending these woke yokels to D.C.
Just like his insufferable buddy Jeff Flake he can’t be gone soon enough. Self promoting assholes are not a rare species in the swamp and we could do with far less.
So long you rancid little snipe.
I’m shocked!
Shocked, I tell ya!
Corker, the Bend-Over-And-Take-It-Like-A-Man typical RINO piece of monkey shit, won’t oppose a declared Nihilistic Totalitarian?
Guess a Zebra can’t change its spots.

The RINO blogs keep saying that Trump is losing Republicans, there won’t be enough of them to get any work done in his administration.
Yeah, well, the R’s that are quitting or already quit, are no different from the D’s. IF we get replacement Dems in ’18, how would it be different from now? Of course, some RINOs will be replaced by other RINOs anyway.
So he supports the Republican candidate but doesn’t oppose the Democrat candidate? WTF? Talk about doublespeak!
….RINO sold us the Iran-Deal together with Batrak the mooslim, does anyone expects that he’s a straight shooter? My shame is that I voted for the weasel twice!
Actin’ like ya’ll’ve never seen a RINO before.
It’s a shame this little slug didn’t get his ass kicked years ago when it could have developed some character in him.
