Now is the time, says former U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, for the Republican Party to transform to survive. A day after the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump for the second time, Corker told Knox News the party must rid itself of the Trumpism that has taken over the GOP. “Look, there's no one that feels more strongly about the fact that Republicans ought to celebrate some of the policy gains that have occurred,” he said, “but never ever, ever allow someone like President Trump to serve again, certainly to become the Republican nominee or be president of the

We would not have had some of those "policy gains" without some one like Trump.

that's right Bob old boy, the Republican Party will be in the ash heap of history by the end of 2021 and you and the rest of your RINO traitors had better find the light to find your common sense. you never were much of a Senator, anyway. sour grapes only make bad wine which becomes vinegar.

These RINO's never say what it is that Pres. Trump has done that is so bad. He lowered our taxes; he produced a strong economy; he created low unemployment; he made NATO nations pay their own way; he didn't let China walk all over us; he worked hard on Middle East Peace and succeeded; he was nominated four times for the Nobel Peace Prize; he defended religious liberty; he worked on prison reform; he defended our borders; he defeated ISIS in Syria and strengthened our military. So tell me again, what the heck are you talking about Mr.Corker!!!!!!

What's that Sen. Cork? Are you saying that mere private citizens, not to mention billionaires, need not apply for the job of President? Is that sacred job the exclusive property of the "professional political class" of electeds? Is it the promotion path for Senators only? I bet your tickled pink that TWO U.S. Senators stole the election and will be placed in the hall of honor among Senators.
Corker is dead to me.

Does he really think that Heb! or any of the other Republican "me too" candidates would have won in 2016? By rolling over and letting the Dems steal the election, the Republican Party had better prepare for an eternity in the wilderness because that's their future.

Well , of course BECAUSE he's threat to their scurvy schemes of self enrichment , he wouldn't look the other way while you and your cronies took bribes and kickbacks, he wouldn't go along to get along.....he was not a member of your club and had no interest in being one, he had no interest in selling America for personal gain .

I dearly miss living in East Tennessee, G-d’s country for certain. But I definitely do NOT miss some of the Uni-Party Republicrats. Like Sens. Corker and Alexander. Among others. But then, living in Ohio, we have to put up with scum bums Repiblicrats like Senator Portman, Goobernor DeSlime or his predecessor Kasich.
To "perdition" with the GOP and the GOP-e!!
The GOP has fully proved itself as being much less than worthless. Heck, I'm told that even a truckstop hooker will generally perform as promised. A Republican politician fails even that standard. And every one of us knows it. Support that? No more!

So another globalist RINO and ex DC UniParty politician who hates Trump for attempting to kick over his financial apple cart has popped up telling all Republicans that they essentially should go back to being subservient to the Democrats as the permanent party of big government, and going back to filling their pockets and not giving a hoot about ordinary Americans. That’s not going to work any longer for the establishment Republicans as they have made enemies of millions of ordinary Republicans who were up to this point reliable Republican voters. That fact, plus the fact that the leftist and liberal Democrats who are going to use every trick in their leftist game book to knock out the wimpy Republicans in future elections as those Republicans continue to operate under Marquess of Queensbury rules as long as the remaining minority RINOs get their cut of the action.

He doesn't realize his opinion doesn't matter. He's believing the phony poll that most Republicans don't identify as MAGA. It depends on how you ask that question, doesn't it. Our most immediate war is the one within the party.

The Best President of My Lifetime. He tried hard to push back against Chinese control of the USA.
Mitch McConnell works for the ChiComs. Traitor Joe works for the ChiComs. Pelosi works for the ChiComs.
There are many more, and they do NOT care about Americans, only about the money the ChiComs give them.

here is why the establishment republicans hate Trump so strongly. He DID things they promised but could never get done, even when they controlled all 3 branches. He showed those things COULD be done and by example showed that the only reason why republicans could never get them done was because they didn't want them to get done. All they were was campaign slogans to get us to vote for the republican half of the uni-party. They were exposed as frauds.

Corker is done, just another scum RINO who shines Biden's shoes. This disaster will turn out to be another setup just like the Mueller investigation. Trump was successful because he is not tied to D.C. or the deep state. He was never part of their club. He couldn't be bought like the Clintons, Obama and Biden and he isn't owned by the media or foreign governments. Trump was the only man standing up for the American tax payer who has been robbed blind by the democratic communists and RINOs. This guy Corker is just another idiot without a spine. Got it..

They will never ever ever let the American People choose their President again. That's the job of the elite, your "supremacists" if you will. Now put on your masks, shut up, only post your complaints to that hole in your web browser that used to be Parler.com, and vote your troubles away on our Dominion Voting Machines.

It always amazes me that failed former Republican politicians who helped the Republicans lose the House and Senate majorities and never delivered on what they promised, ever, seem to they know what is best to regain control. Donald Trump is the first Republican in decades to put his money where his mouth is. He actually did what he said he would do. Where he failed, it was because of weak spined Republicans like Corker, McCain, Flake, and Romney. You may not like Trump's style, but you have to love the results! We don't need less Trump, we need more Republicans to be like Donald Trump!

The Republican Party is too dimwitted to figure it out yet but removing Trump people from their base would be like removing the first thirty stories of the Empire State Building and expecting it to stand up. I laugh every time I hear one of the RINOs talk about "the next election" like Republicans will actually be in it.
