Why would Corker do Trump the courtesy of calling him

[Orangeutan]

before the Senate vote to tell him he was a "yes"?

After their Twitter war, it seems Corker would have nothing but disdain for Trump. I just don't get it. I don't get these f***ing Republicans at all.

2. What you see on TV is generally kabuki theater...

As always, the real work is being done out of sight behind the scenes.

6. It's an act guys

These guys are corrupt politicians (Corker). They will "fight" in public but then hug like lovers in private.

It's just business.

9. The explanation on the Morning Scabs circus was: CORKER is a true Repuke, GREED/tax cuts

That his criticisms of TWITLER have been over the bad taste, low brow, uncouth behaviors, that this tax scam is all about cash for fat cats so is PURE Repuke-ism, with specific benefits for CORKER, so this matters to CORKER, who just wants TWITLER to behave with his demeanor.
