Stunning
The sitting Republican chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee said this:
"I think Sec. Tillerson, Sec. Mattis and Chief of Staff Kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos."
Bob Corker just told the world what he really thinks of Donald Trump
(CNN)Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker suggested Wednesday that Gens. John Kelly and James Mattis, as well as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson are the "people that help separate our country from chaos," a stinging criticism of President Donald Trump from a man once considered an ally in Washington.
Asked directly by a reporter whether he was referring to Trump in using the word "chaos," Corker, who announced last month he would retire in 2018, responded: "(Mattis, Kelly and Tillerson) work very well together to make sure the policies we put forth around the world are sound and coherent. There are other people within the administration that don't. I hope they stay because they're valuable to the national security of our nation."

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Stunning
Trump is way over his head. Couple that with how key positions are being staffed and NON-staffed, we are in a really bad position albeit a couple of people holding it together.

Re: Stunning
“Senator Bob Corker ‘begged’ me to endorse him for re-election in Tennessee. I said ‘NO’ and he dropped out (said he could not win without.....my endorsement),” Trump said.
“He also wanted to be Secretary of State, I said ‘NO THANKS.’ He is also largely responsible for the horrendous Iran Deal!”
1.Two people at a meeting between Trump and Corker said that Trump tried to talk him out of retiring and promised to campaign for him.
2. Corker did not support the Iran deal.
