Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker says he's willing to advise Donald Trump on foreign policy



WASHINGTON — Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has offered to help Donald Trump develop a foreign policy platform, making him one of the few senators to publicly embrace Trump as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

The Tennessee Republican said Trump called him last week and he and Trump’s campaign staff have talked since then, most recently on Thursday night.

“I think he is well-aware now that he has to move into a period of really laying out more substantial policies and certainly as he evolves, to the extent we can be helpful and flesh those out, we are more than glad to do so,” Corker said in a Thursday interview.

Top Republicans, including House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, have been slow to accept Trump as their party’s nominee over concerns about his shifting positions on key issues, his past support of Democrats, and his frequently offensive rhetoric.

that would be very interesting if so

and it would leave the DLC/Third Way as the last remaining bastion of Bush-Cheneyist foreign policy
