Rumor: Bob Corker will be the first Republican Senator to call for Trump's impeachment.

1. Meh

Sorry, I need more than a tweet from Scott Dworkin. And I can't imagine why Corker would say anything about it now.

2. He just announced he isn't running in 2018, so he has nothing to lose.

12. Other pundits have been reporting that the fact that he is not running for Senate in 2018 is because

he plans to challenge Trump for the presidency in 2020. Presidential primary season starts early.

3. I think it's based on his statement announcing he's retiring

Corker alluded to his disagreements with the direction of Trump’s presidency in his statement, saying: “The most important public service I have to offer our country could well occur over the next 15 months.”

Does make you wonder what he means

4. Nothing to lose and possibly much to gain for the greater good.

Maybe he is willing to "fall on his sword" as he exists Congress.

6. I had the same thought after I read his statement. Something's up.

14. I remember the look on his face

when a reporter informed him of one of Trump's tweets. Shook him up.

10. Likely planning to primary Trump anyway

5. I thought this. He has virtually said Trump is unstable.

I'm just hoping he & McCain, in his last stand, will take this dangerous, sociopathic, incompetent con down before it's too late for our country.

7. He made an interesting statement posted upthread

8. I disagree with Corker on just about every issue.

I mean, I guess I could agree with him on some meaningless resolution honoring some notable person (e.g., Pat Summitt?).

But if this turns out to be true, I'll have worlds of respect for him.

9. All it takes is one Republican Senator and Impeachment will pick up steam.

[longship]

11. Well, first the Senate does not have the power.

The US House of Representatives has exclusive power of impeachment.

13. Maybe Pence has told him he will be appointed Vice President

after the upcoming resignation or impeachment, and he wants to appear above the fray instead of embroiled in a rough campaign against his Iraq War veteran Democratic rival James Mackler when that happens.
