Got Corker News Today

Hes thin-skinned, we know that. he sees information that he doesnt like or somebody is trashing him and he reacts we see every day on twitter. and so it was a very short-sighted decision on the presidents part. whether the president deny himself his own agency and says its not my fault, we can all see what that is, but thats just how this president operates. >> im just saying one guy gets to sit in the oval office and that guy has got to own it. >> youre right. >> robert, what does this mean for...

All about the solvency of the united states, which jeff flake does. so, i actually think the odds are a little higher than he will join mccain and corker and maybe a few others and sink this. and if he does, then trump has nothing to show for 2017 and he goes into an election year, a complete failure in terms of getting bills through congress. >> e.j., it seems if the president does not get his tax bill that explodes the deficit, then his presidency explodes. that seems to be the washington repu...

And what you had today were and over the last week were cracks in the dam. i mean, you had bush, you had mccain, now youve got flake and youve got corker. and i think you only need a few more republicans to reach critical mass. and one of the things that would help you reach critical mass is a republican saying, if this guy cant even get us a tax cut, theyve stuck with him because they like all the deregulation hes doing because they hope to get a tax cut. and if he cant deliver that, i think th...

Theyre holding their heads at this point. and weve got corker who is not going to run again. im sure that this president had something to do with that. that he didnt want to be in the office when he had that as the leader of his party and the chief executive of the united states. this is a crisis point for this country. i was reading the other day the transcripts of john f. kennedy during the cuban missile crisis. we forget that kennedy had a very good recording system. you had an opportunity to...

Created a distraction. donald trump is doing what any leader would do, which is clean it up. he has his two most important interviews today for secretary of state. he has romney, and hes got corker. >> thats right. >> and if i could talk for a second on this because i dont talk a lot. >> youre wasting a lot of time on this. we have a lot going on. >> one thing that bugged me, everybody is going, this is just like "the apprentice." hes bringing people. thats what you want your president-elect to ...

The senate and he might be the easiest. >> and they checked the numbers on guiliani, and he would get through, and i dont know where they get that. what about petraeus versus romney? >> that was their position on guiliani a week ago, and that position even now is changing becau because the longer guiliani is out there, the more they are realizing they are not going to get him confirmed for that position, and could he be confirmed for homeland security. secretary of state, no. and gene robinson, ...

Trump, who doesnt tend to be terribly bound by convention understands this, and, look, guiliani, since he left the mayors office has a lot of entanglements business wise through guiliani, and partners through brace wall guiliani, and that will get looked at closely by the senate. if you read -- i have asked people who are pro guiliani, what is the case for him? this guy is not the most obvious fit through the secretary of state, and they say he has done a lot through his businesses, and romney h...

The team of rivals here, and well see what happens. >> yeah. >> he has two choices probably. he can go with mitt romney and go big and take a chance, or he can go with bob corker and play it safe, and who is going to be upset about corker? i dont see trump cowering in the corner thinking somebody might be mad if i go big. >> i am not saying that. operationally and functionally, do you want that noise? >> michael, the only noise internally based on all of my sources is kellyanne. bannon doesnt li...

Like undermining the election you won is so baffling. >> as far as tweeting about networks, hes free to do it but why do you do it when you are having the most important meetings -- i just figured it out. all right. i think i know who he might pick as secretary of state. throw the red meat out there, and have everybody on the red meat and maybe you go with somebody like romney, or maybe you go with corker that attends the fire breathers, but you have given him this. okay, sorry. i will be quiet....

Donald trump will meet for a second time with mitt romney, and corker is also meeting with trump today, and is believed to be in the mix for the secretary of state job, and yesterday trump met with retired general, david petraeus. trump tweeted, just met with general petraeus, was very impressed. and petraeus spoke with reporters after the meeting. >> the meeting went very well and was with him for about an hour, and he walked us around the world and showed a great grasp of the challenges that a...
