This tool, like many on the left. Mistake “anger and resentment” for people who actually punch back, and with vigor. Maybe it’s just because they haven’t seen it from the right for a while.

Flakey is aching to be hired by MSNBC. Hating Trump is a winner at that site.
I loathe him and what he says to damage the GOP and therfore our nation!
He is without shame.

The more negative comments he makes about the republican party, the greater his future salary will be as a fake news cnn pundit.

That’s the only job prospect he has now.

Help it , Leave it

Exactly right. Some people help by showing up; some help by leaving. The best thing Flake can do at this point is to STFU and just quietly leave so the stain he made doesn't get any bigger or stinkier.

Whoever placed that left hook on Flake’s nose did not do it hard enough.

As long as the GOP has people like Flake in it, I also worry about the future of the party. Time to thin the herd.

Please STFU Jeff. You and Rinos like you are a bigger problem for the Republicans.

He's out of electoral politics for good. Once he gets the lobbyist job for the Business Roundtable and open borders, he will be in hog heaven, doing what he loves best—screwing the American people, and no pesky elections to worry about.

It's hard to get rid of these GOPe (RINO) types. They have the best paying donor a lot of the time.

The good news is the GOP is getting more conservative and less RINO-like. The bad news is the dem party is going full militant communist (Progressive).

The GOP will be fine. In fact in January it will be much better, as Jeff Flake will no longer be a GOP Senator.

Flake told C-SPAN host Steve Scully he found it "disturbing" how Trump's supporters still cheer "lock her up" at his rallies about 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

A perfect example of why Flake is stepping down (because he has been rejected). She should be locked up!

Mr. Flake, what exactly is happening currently within the Republican party that makes you say “decency, we've got to get back to it”? What exactly are you objecting to?

Is it Trump's non-politician way of communicating? Do you prefer form over substance? If a politician ignores the will of the people, but does so with a very ‘dignified’ though dishonest persona, is that better? Where is your criticism of those on the left who have thrown away any attempts to conceal their hatred? Trump - indecent, but Maxine Waters - decent? Really?

Is it Trump's history of affairs etc, or the Access Hollywood tape? Arguably, those are past behaviors, and there is no current evidence of any of these actions by Trump now. Conversely, plenty of liberals, media, and ‘career politicians’ have been caught in ongoing egregious behavior - despite their ‘dignified’ public personas. What about the Congressional sexual harassment slush fund to deal with sexual indiscretions of Congress members? I haven't heard you talk about this. Is it just that it's more important to ‘look good’ than to ‘act good’? Where exactly are you coming from?

Is it Trump's proclivity for calling out people publicly, like ‘Crooked Hillary’? Should we just let the left and the truly indecent people in politics and elected office go on unchecked? Isn't it time that Republicans start fighting back and fighting for those people who put them in office?

Where's the decency on the left? Is it decent behavior to try to nullify the legitimate votes of the Americans who put Trump in office? Is it decent behavior to weaponize government agencies like the IRS and the FBI? Is it decent behavior for an ex-Secretary of State, Kerry, to fly to a country that has sponsored terrorism around the world and contributed to the deaths of many Americans, and try to undermine the foreign policy of a sitting president? Do you think Kerry is a ‘decent’ man? What's your definition of decency?

Finally, is it really Trump's rough behavior and lack of what you consider public dignity that is bothering you about him, or is it that he has shown the world that politicians, with their practiced and well-honed ‘dignified’ public personas are actually just empty suits - you included?

Flake seems to not care about our Constitution or rule of law.

As a matter of fact, he seems to be against it.

Mr. Flake, you are a traitor to the office you hold.

Flake will say whatever is necessary to guarantee him a position when he leaves office.

People like Flake in the GOP are the very reason we’ve had two years of controlling all levers of power in Washington and still no border wall.
