There is a reason Corker is retiring. It's because he doesn't have a chance of winning reelection because people are sick of the establishment republicans who won't allow Trump to get anything done.

Like the "establishment republican" whom Trump endorsed in a primary, and who failed to secure the nomination?

That endorsement might've been the result of a deal with Mitch McConnell.

"Might" sounds an awful lot like speculation and fake news. Was that from an anonymous (fake) source?

 

Also - Doesn't really seem Trump endorsing someone does a lot of good so I'm not sure how you could intrepret that to mean that the public wants to elect people who support Trump and want him to "get anything done".

Well, sure it's speculation -- one possibility among many.

Yep so lets stick to the facts.

 

Trump endorsed someone, that person supported Trump. That person failed to receive the votes required to gain the nomination.

 

To me, that would contradict the following statement (which I previously quoted):

 

"...He doesn't have a chance of winning reelection because people are sick of the establishment republicans who won't allow Trump to get anything done."

 

If "people" wanted to vote for Republicans who would let Trump get things done, wouldn't they have supported the candidate that Trump endorsed? Seems crazy to think "Man I just want Trump to get things done, so I'm going to vote for the person whom he doesn't support! I'm sure that person will help Trump's agenda more than the person who Trump wants to win the nomination."

 

I guess maybe the "people" no longer think that Trump knows what is best for Trump?

I'd like to think it was fairly obvious that I was talking about a Republican primary race, but I guess it wasn't?

 

I was talking about the public (the general GOP-supporting public) choosing between Trump-endorsed Republican candidates and candidates NOT endorsed by Trump. It seems like there preference, at least current, is to go with those who Trump DOESN'T support.

 

That wouldn't really support the idea that they want people that will help Trump get his agenda done. Seems like Trump's endorsement did very little (or caused harm).

It would have been. The after all the pre gloating the MDL did, after they got Trump slapped, they declared it a moral victory and moved on
