Only if the rest of the GOP continues to suck up to the Mango Mussolini. Spineless wimps.
Republicans have changed quite a bit, thatās all I can say,ā
No, they havent. They were the same before, just more vocal now. I still recall āEither you are with us or you are the enemyā.
Republicans have for years undermined the democratic fabric of this countryāthe respect for reason, honesty, justice, the rule of law, the basic notion that the public should be servedāand I despise every last one of them. Now we are supposed to celebrate a guy like Jeff Flake, even though by his own admission he would still be a professional criminal and political gangster if some other gang leader were in control of his party. Thatās what this interview confirms: all his moaning about Trump basically comes down to the fact that Trumpism, which he devoted years of his life to enabling and promoting, has scuttled his political career. If this quitter and moaner had any convictions at all he would stand up to Kelli Ward and her gruesome band of Republican fascists. Sorry, not a drop of respect from this Democrat, not while so many people on our own side need every scrap of support they can get.
Someone should have asked him why he doesnāt run as an Independent.
In this current environment, the only voters who self-declare as Republican are the wingnut batshit crazies and the elderly who are too damn old to change their affiliation.
Flakeās true test will be whether or not he supports whoever Bannon picks as his successor candidate in next yearās AZ election for his seat. Of course he will, because party.
This is like someone complaining he has syphillis after contact with a prostitute who told him up front: I have syphillis.
āYou canāt see a doctor without telling him you have syphillis!ā Oh, the humanity.
Nixon had CREEP.
Poppy Bush had Atwater.
Dubya had Rove.
Trump had Lewandowski, Manafort, Conway and Bannon.
Iām not seeing a turning point anywhere in there.
Well friends, there have been so many mornings when ya get up and thereās nothing but gloom and doom everywhere. But sometimes, a feel-good, happy story like this comes along to give us hope for the future.
Let the Todd Akinses and Christine OāDonnellzezz Versions 2.0 flog their sorry butts in the General Election.
Please proceed!
whoever wrote this article, really should learn what ālamentā meansā¦i listened to FLAKE this morningā¦he did not lamentā anythingā¦he gave a clear rendering of his opinion of TRUMPfā¦I know some people in ARIZONAā¦and they are blatant, angry racistsā¦I donāt see how decent men like FLAKE & MCCAIN can tolerate TRUMPfā¦he is a disgrace to the countryā¦what kind of man beats up on a grieving widow of a dead soldier? I remember when the REPUBLICAN party was mostly men like FLAKE& MCCAINā¦ yes, childrenā¦that really was soā¦
I have to disagree strongly that we should want the worst possible Republican candidates so they will lose to Democrats. Thatās how we ended up with Trump. Weāll see if Jones beats Moore in Alabama, but the odds are against it. So, no, letās NOT proceed.
You helped build this monster Jeffy and now you just want to wipe your hands clean and run away; whining how dreadful and tacky it all is.
Sorry dude. You and the rest of your gang own this Orange Mess.
Cry me a river.

Hero?
->Jeff Flake
Heās just half stepping. Itās hard to see how any RWNJ who replaces him could have a worse voting record than Flake. RINO, but still cool with their agenda. See for example yesterday his requisite vote to force American Citizens to submit to forced arbitration rather than join in a class action and sue in a court of law as the Constitution once provided. Without the Flake vote Pence could not have cast the tiebreaker in favor of Wells Fargo, et al.
AZ gave us Goldwater; lord knows what raging lunatic will be elected this cycle. The fact that Flake/McCain are considered too moderate is shocking in itself. It wouldnāt be surprising to see convicted felon Joe Arpaio running for Senate. Heād win unless it absolutely against to law for him to run at all.
Jeff, itās been that way for at least 30 years, cf. Newt Gingrich. Hell, arguably itās been that way for 70 years, since Nixon started smearing all liberals as communist spies for Russia back in 1946.
In 2 years, the Republican party of Lincoln and Eisenhower has become the party of Trump. All hail Hair Furor!
āHe said that to win a Republican primary now, you have to be āangryā and to stand with Trump no matter what.ā
Corker is telling truth to power about Trump
Flake is telling truth to power about the average Republican voter.
I do feel though if I were sitting having a beer with Flake, I would be now asking Flake, okay I know it is bad, what are you not telling me?
I thought Flake was one of the original Tea Partiers - at one time considered extreme right-wing. Now the party has lurched so far to the alt-right that Flake is being dubbed a moderate. Thatās scary.
Speaking for myself, it couldnāt be worse than we all imagine here.
And the worse the Secret Poop is, the quicker weāll get rid of Trump.
