Corker
*       A former Corker aide spoke OTR with Newsweek, saying that Corker respects Trump and sees himself in him for dealmaking ability, but hasn't made up his mind about Trump.
*       The aide said that Corker wasn't actively positioning himself for VP, but there had been lots of rumors about him moving to the state department.
*       Corker said that the Geneva convention is important in response to Trump "worse than waterboarding" comments.
*       Had a TN interview where he was cornered into disagreeing with Trump on giving US allies nuclear weapons (South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia) and said that he thinks that Trump will evolve to agree wit him more. He also dodged a question about whether he thought it was appropriate for Trump to use personal attacks, but later said something like "I don't think the campaign is going to look for my input on tone."

Jordan

*       Jordan said he would support Trump and campaign against Hillary, but not that he would campaign with Trump against Hillary

Gingrich

*       Endorsed Trump
*       Said trump was more like Andrew Jackson than Ronald Reagan
*       Gave similar compliments of DT's foreign policy as Corker
*       Said a bunch of stupid things about how trump would make a lot of amateur mistakes, and how he could be worse than goldwater, and how he wasn't sure which trump would show up in the general
