I don't follow Tennessee politics but Corker seems like the kind of guy who could get elected in perpetuity in that state no matter who is president.

Which begs for the question is this a case of a Republican actually having a crisis of conscience that has nothing to do with their next campaign? If so that's a pretty big breakthrough.
