Two US republican senators announce they will not run for re election in 2018. They are no friends of Donald Trump, but up until now have been more loyal and useful Republicans than John McCain, Susan Collins, or Rand Paul.
They both come from reasonably Republican districts, which may elect Republican replacements. On the other hand, incumbents usually have better odds of winning the election than challengers.
Granted, Trump and his friends will have a more tractable Congress if Corker and Flake are replaced by Republicans. If they are replaced by democrats, life will be harder for the administration. The Republican control of the Senate rests on a mere two seats.
Note to Steve Bannion. You would do the party more good by attacking democrats, rather than Republicans.
