Anti-Trump Flake In Trouble As Primary Challenger Surges
Hidden Americans ^ | 07/21/2017 | Richard Saunders

Posted on 07/21/2017 9:37:01 PM PDT by nodwam

A new poll shows Kelli Ward, the conservative Pro-Trump challenger surging against Senator Jeff Flake.

Senator Flake refused to support Trump for president in 2016, Flake instead voted for independent spoiler Evan McMullin and even signaled tacit support for Tim Kaine as Vice President.

Trying to count the ways I hate @timkaine. Drawing a blank. Congrats to a good man and a good friend.— Jeff Flake (@JeffFlake) July 23, 2016

Flake spent 2016 openly mocking Trump and encouraging Republicans not to endorse the president. Flake was one of the GOP leaders pushing the amnesty bill in 2013 and Flake had plans to resurrect that bill if Hillary had won the election.

Republicans in Arizona aren't buying what Flake is selling and Kelli Ward is surging.

A new poll out shows Kelli Ward leading Senator Flake 48-31% among likely GOP primary voters with 21 percent of voters still undecided.

Top Trump administration officials have reportedly met with Kelli Ward and had discussions concerning her 2018 run against Flake.

Morning Consult found that Flake is literally the lease popular Senator in America with 'just 37 percent of registered voters in Arizona approve of their junior senator, compared with 45 percent who disapprove. That gives Flake a net approval rating1 of -8 percentage points, the worst of any senator.'

Good. I don’t know whose side Jeff Flake is on but it doesn’t seem to be ours.

What the Hell happened to Flake? When he was in Congress, he was one of the most conservative stalwarts there. Is the Swamp that damn intoxicating?

This is our chance to take him out. 2 problems: Ward gets selected to succeed an infirm McCain thereby a need for someone new. That someone new might not be ready for prime time, sparing Flake.

Kelli Ward got over 40% when we tried to Primary McCain out, if McCain retires or dies, the Governor should take that into account and appoint her Senator, until the next election.

Excellent. I hope Senator Flake gets electorally obliterated at the earliest opportunity...

What did she say? We cannot afford to loose any Senate seats. We must have the majority to guarantee confirmation of Trumps judges.

Don't hold your breath. When the dust settles, both Flake and McCain, in their respective elections, will be reelected. They may have to wheel MCCain into the Senate on a stretcher, but he will be one of their Senators.
