Corker out as possible Trump VP candidate

Corker, 63, said his decision to withdraw from consideration as vice president opened up “a candid conversation” with Trump and his team about policy and other roles he might play. I love that and I appreciate the citizens of our state allowing me to do that. “I’m just better suited for other kinds of things”.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who was quick to endorse Trump but has criticized him for going off-script and lagging in fundraising, said he looks forward to “a frank exchange”.

Corker had appeared with Trump at a rally in North Carolina Tuesday night, and Ernst had met with him in New Jersey on Monday.

“Pretty cool”, Corker said.

Corker brought that up again today, saying, “I think the caricature created of Donald Trump is really different from how he is in person”. “Very impressed, great people!”

“Frankly, we don’t want to do the executive orders like [President Barack] Obama has been doing”, Trump said. How much “advising” they will do for Trump is questionable, as many Republicans will keep their distance.

“I have to tell you that the caricature that is painted of Donald Trump is very different than the way that he is”. Of course that is, I understand, not possible. She was terrific, and very supportive. “And they’re all very very close”.

Trump’s campaign said it raised $26 million online in June, a small portion of which will go to the Republican National Committee, as agreed to previously.

He also declined to comment on whether the RGA and Pence’s campaign had discussed the scenario and said he wasn’t anxious about a potential change in candidate. But either way, he’s made it clear the only Trump campaign job for him is one he can abandon as necessary.

“He’s got a lot of support among senior aides”, Caputo said.

This announcement comes just one day after Sen.

“The rallies that I have back home aren’t quite like this”, Corker told the crowd.

“Newt is Newt, you know?” “So some of the other folks perhaps wanted to spend more time learning more about his positions”. It was incredible to be with him in Raleigh and see the way people react to him. “And just to have insight into the campaign and just to how they are operating was candidly a privilege”. You know, great guy. Ernst, while a combat veteran from a swing state, hasn’t even been in the Senate for more than two years.
