If Trump is considering Bob Corker as his running mate, then it is time to fire another leader of his VP vetting team. Trump already reassigned Ben Carson for suggesting that Trump would consider a Democrat or Sarah Palin as his VP. Picking Corker would give conservatives yet another reason not to vote for Trump. Corker might be Trump's insurance against impeachment, but he would make it less likely that Trump will ever need to worry about impeachment.

Maybe the Clinton campaign is behind this story.

Corker to meet with Trump, feeding VP speculation

Corker, who has yet to offer a full-throated endorsement of Trump, nonetheless has been warm about his willingness to support the billionaire and has encouraged fellow Republicans to unite behind the candidate.

“I can’t imagine why people are taking this position of ‘never this, never that.’ Let’s work with him,” Corker said earlier this month. “I’ve seen some flexibility already. We want good things to happen for our country.”

Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, would instantly give deeper establishment support to a Trump ticket, particularly on issues of diplomacy and national security.
