Veteran Republican establishment figure Senator Bob Corker confirmed to the New York Times that the Republican establishment is focused on corralling President Donald Trump and his agenda.
In an interview with reporter Jonathan Martin, Corker said that most Republican senators realized that Trump was a threat to the general world order.
“[They] understand the volatility that we’re dealing with and the tremendous amount of work that it takes by people around him to keep him in the middle of the road,” he said.
After the mild-mannered Senator came unglued on Twitter on Monday, he told the New York Times he was trying to send a message to “the good guys” — Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and the White House chief of staff, John F. Kelly.
“As long as there are people like that around him who are able to talk him down when he gets spun up, you know, calm him down and continue to work with him before a decision gets made, I think we’ll be fine,” he said.

FIRE HIM PRESIDENT TRUMP
8:42 PM Corker is retiring. Catch up
Corker and the Establishment Reoublicans trying to "Keep Trump in the Middle of the Road"!? What exactly does that mean? The middle of the road has been hijacked and moved many times over to the left by Socialist Democ-rats. Time to Drain the Swamp Now and send Corker & his pals to retirement.
Thank you POYUS! I love how you are doing your job and draining the swamp at the same time!
Godspeed!
11:40 Exactly what draining has he done????
1:23, have you have been sleeping and didn't notice it, the good president kept the fat corrupt one from hanging around the swamp. Sent her packing, still wondering why she failed at becoming president, even after all the cheating done by her handlers. Great to be in the U.S.A. with President Donald J. Trump as your president and mine.
and it won't work. people are FINALLY waking up to the realities of gov't. there are NOT your friends.
