Chattanooga Times Free press, June 15th, 2016 - Dismayed Republicans scrambled for cover Tuesday from Donald Trump's
inflammatory response to the Orlando massacre, with both of Tennessee's
Republican senators backing away from fully supporting the presumptive
GOP nominee.
"I continue to be discouraged by the direction of the campaign and
comments that are made," said Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, Republican
chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. .... not "the type of speech that one would give that wants to lead this
country through difficult times."
U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., went so far as to suggest Trump might not end up as the party's nominee after all. "We do not have a nominee until after the convention," Alexander
asserted in response to a question. Reminded that Trump is the
presumptive GOP nominee, Alexander retorted, "That's what you say." (link)
