Sen. Corker Says "Republicans Are "in a Bad Place"

Government shutdown has not been good for party unity

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) on Monday acknowledged that Republicans had taken a severe political hit from the government shutdown, saying the GOP was "in a bad place," but getting closer to righting the ship.

"Look, we're in a bad place," Corker said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "Let's face it, we all know the House Republican strategy and that came from a few Senate Republicans was the strategy that took us to where we are."
