Discussion: GOP Sen. Flake Donates To Democrat Doug Jones: 'Country Over Party'

$100 :moneybag: can’t compensate the vileness & stench, from sitting that close to Orange Mugabe :exclamation:

C’mon Flake! you’ve got deep pockets, outside your compulsory LDS tithing.

No money for No. California fires in budget. To take health care away from 9 million children should be a crime.

Just a quick reminder- Flake said nothing when McConnell stole the SCOTUS seat from Obama, he voted FOR Obamacare repeal, voted for the tax bill.

Flake has been a reliable GOP vote, no matter what the GOP does. Fuck you and thanks for the coin.

I’ll compartmentalize here: I appreciate that he’s not caving on Moore, and the people tweeting “Only $100?” aren’t helping. On the other hand, Flake demonstrated his naivete getting rolled with a “promise” on DACA.

Now he is saying he didn’t get rolled because it was not a condition for his vote. OTOH, Collins was rolled. They both voted for the tax bill and now the House won’t support their so-called conditions.

But the fact that he seems to be poking Trump in the eye, makes me smile a little.

It looks like the bill will have to go through conference after all, as the Senate fucked everything up tossing the alternative minimum tax back in at the last minute and setting it equal to the regular corporate tax rate. But I’m not filled with hope that Collins or Flake will grow a spine between now and the final vote.

Me neither, but having to vote again does increase our odds.

Wow, a whole $100 from a guy who just blew a $1.5 trillion wet kiss to GOP donors.

You gotta ways to go buddy before you get to claim you put ‘country over party’. Maybe you can start by bailing out all those cancer victims you just sentenced to death with your craven vote.

Oooooh boy! You got that right. I wish that phrase would be used more often by more people, like, every Democratic rep in front of a microphone, all the time. I would LOVE to see Country over Party “meme-ing.”

Thanks, Darr mentioned it an hour ago and it hasn’t popped up here yet.

That’s not naivete, it’s willful ignorance. He wanted to repeal Obamacare and get some tax crap through. He’s trying to hide behind that promise to have a seat at the table. Flake is a fool, but not that much of one.
