 Senators clamor for Corker as secretary of state

The Foreign Relations Committee chairman would sail through confirmation with Democratic support, interviews with lawmakers show.

In Donald Trump’s wild, real-life audition for his secretary of state, there’s been no shortage of warning flags for the senators who’d have to confirm his eventual pick — whether it’s Rudy Giuliani’s business dealings with foreign governments, David Petraeus’ fumble with classified information, or John Bolton's ultra-hawkish views.

But there’s one choice that could put an end to Trump’s made-for-TV drama and ultimately breeze through the Senate: Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, whose fans include not just fellow Republicans, but Democrats who'd happily vote to confirm him.

“I think he would be a great pick,” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who has been a major critic of Giuliani and former Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the U.N., who's also been discussed for the job.

Exactly the reason he should not be nominated!  John Bolton is perhaps the only man alive who can and will straighten that whore's nest out!

Agreed. If Democrats would happily vote for him, then he is absolutely NOT the guy for the job!

Corker was responsible for legislation that allowed that craptastic Iran deal to go through.

Remember the "Corker Amendment"?

    That's what I was referring to, Corker and Kerry pulled obummer's Iran deal over the final hump, selling their souls like hotcakes in the 3rd ward.
