[Olog-hai]

Republican Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake’s approval rating is at a drastically low number in his home state after he has continued to bash President Donald Trump according to a new Democratic Poll.

The left leaning polling group, Public Policy Polling (PPP) found only 18 percent approve of the job Flake is doing. Meanwhile 62 percent disapprove and 19 percent are not sure how they feel about him. These numbers come after Flake has continued to criticize Trump throughout his presidency and refused to endorse him during the 2016 presidential campaign.

If the 2018 mid-term election were held today, just 31 percent of respondents said they would support Flake’s re-election bid, compared to 47 percent who said they would support a generic Democratic opponent, according to the poll. …

Flakes, flakes!
Flakes, flakes!
They don’t do no good
They never be workin’ when they oughta should
They waste your time
They’re wastin’ mine
California’s got the most of them
Boy, they got a host of them

He’s headed the way of Ayotte. Adios, amigo.

[Parley Baer]

I will be doing what I can to see that he is defeated.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Flake not running is probably the only way the establishment has any chance of getting a candidate in the race (outside of deliberately losing to the dem) so, chances are he’ll decide not to run again.

Trent Franks would make a great senator from Arizona.

[Jarhead9297]

Bye bye Senate. So about that immigration policy, about that wall, about those tax cuts, about those jobs.....Trump can kiss his first 4 years goodbye. The GOP will lose the Senate and Trump will be lucky to get all his positions filled let alone a single piece of meaningful legislation.

Fake Flake...

[Hildy]

Kelli Ward is going to beat him in the primary. You can take that to the bank.

[Red Steel]

Flake is very ripe to lose a primary challenge.

[RooRoobird20]

18 % approval, bwah hah hah!!!!!

I hope McLiar’s clone has poopy pants over this latest poll.

[Hildy]

I like Congressman Franks. He is a nice man. Name me one accomplishment.

[Fungi]

YES!!!!

[DIRTYSECRET]

Ward wants the job. She stepped up to the plate. Girlie men wait for their opportunity. If McCain croaks she should be awarded the seat provided the higher-ups in the party can be smart enough to administer the Buckley Rule.

Aren’t you the happy, positive one? Sheesh! Face reality...or go back to DU.

[Parley Baer]

“Trent Franks would make a great senator from Arizona.”

Yes he would. Hopefully President Trump will see fit to get behind a Conservative to replace this idiot.

He plagiarized the title and cover art of Barry Goldwater’s book.

Flake has support none of Trump’s policies.

BTW, nice to see your boy, Saint Cruz, not object to the GOP Senate obstructing POTUS during the recess.
