Corker still wouldn't say that he's endorsed Trump and still says he doesn't think he's being vetted.

*       How would characterize what's going on with establishment republicans? It's hard to keep track who's tea party, etc.?
o       Campaign became personality driven because of how many candidates there were.
o       People wanted something irreverent, and they got it.
o       Now were headed to a part of the campaign that is focused more on policy.
*       Everyone is focused the personality issues but the democratic party is moving towards socialism.
o       I think in the GOP there's a coming together that's occurring, on the other side Bernie's still going strong, a deep division there
o       The focus has been on one side but the primaries have been close on both sides
*       Have you endorsed Trump?
o       I've always planned on supporting the nominee
*       So that's a yes?
o       ...We've had conversations, and I've given suggestions. I like the way the campaign is evolving.
*       What about friends that won't endorse him?
o       My comment there is to chill, this campaign has been done in a backwards way. Let's get a better sense of what policies will be put forth. I think that people that were resisting will become more comfortable.
*       What did you mean that you were fascinated by the role that hedge funds play in influencing public policy?
o       Huge influence of outside group, look at Puerto Rico. Look GSEs, opportunity to make $17 billion.
*       Have you met with Bill Ackman about Fannie and Freddie?
o       I think we're meeting in two weeks.
*       Are you being vetted?
o       I have no reason to believe I'm being considered.
