Corkers ‘friend’ Former Democratic Tennessee Gov. Phill Bresdesen is leading Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn in the current polling…..
Retiring Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), an outspoken critic of President Trump, says he will not campaign against the former Democratic governor of Tennessee who is running for his seat.
Corker praised Phil Bredesen, the expected Democratic Senate nominee in Tennessee, as a good governor and a savvy businessman with whom he worked closely when Corker was mayor of Chattanooga and then the junior Republican senator of the state.
“Phil Bredesen is a friend of mine,” Corker said at a Wednesday breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.
“I worked very closely with him for years. He was a very good mayor, very good governor, a very good businessperson,” Corker added. “Look, I’m not going to campaign against someone I’ve been a friend with and worked with.”
Corker noted, however, that he has already contributed the maximum to the expected Republican Senate nominee, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), an outspoken conservative and strong ally of Trump’s.
Corker also said has promised to back Blackburn and will do so, at least nominally…

Retiring Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) lavished praise on the leading Democrat in the race to replace him, earning him a slap on the wrist by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the Washington Post reported Thursday evening.
Zreebs says
James, I’m still being put in moderation when I use the desk computer. Would it be helpful if I signed in this computer as “Zreebs.” instead of “Zreebs” – or some other minor change like that?
