Trump cheers on Kelli Ward, primary challenger to ‘toxic’ Sen. Jeff Flake
The Washington Times ^ | August 17, 017 | David Sherfinski

Posted on 08/17/2017 10:44:13 AM PDT by jazusamo

President Trump on Thursday said it was “great” to see Republican Kelli Ward challenging Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, who the president labeled “toxic” and a “non-factor” in the U.S. Senate.

“Great to see that Dr. Kelli Ward is running against Flake Jeff Flake, who is WEAK on borders, crime and a non-factor in Senate. He’s toxic!” Mr. Trump tweeted.

The president’s open embrace of a primary challenger to a sitting Republican senator comes as Mr. Trump prepares to head to Phoenix next week for a campaign rally, where he could formally endorse a challenger to Mr. Flake, who has emerged as a prominent Republican critic of Mr. Trump.

Remember when 0bama was flying around on OUR DIME, pimpin’ for any Dem that was running for anything at any time?

Complete SILENCE from the Enemy Media.

I’ll bet you a beer that the enemy Media will be screaming about President Trump doing the same in 3...2...1...

P.S. And that, ‘Little Libertarian’ in me is jumping up and down and screaming that she does not like it when ANY sitting President on either side partakes of this!

Trump did not campaign as a small government guy or as a philosophical libertarian in any broad sense of the word. He's also not Mac, the "little boy" on the beach who is going to let sand get kicked in his face. We'll have to settle the philosophical niceties at a different time, in a different context. I am hopeful that Trump is setting up better terms.

Ya, but then who will the Guv appoint to take Mac’s place, when the time comes?

While he’s in Arizona, Trump should find out the location of John McCain’s burial plot and urinate on it preemptively.

Awesome news! Just yesterday I saw a report on twitter that Trump was going to endorse Flake I knew that was total BS

Amen. I saw a piece that said Trump was upset with Ward and was going to endorse someone else in the primary I’d never heard of.

Looks like RATs or RINOs trying to discredit President Trump again.

We can get 2(TWO) new senators in az if the senior one croaks. Arpaio would be a great replacement after being pardoned. I’d like to see someone young enough to hold the seat for 2 terms.

And Judge Moore’s win in Alabama will be great for MAGA too. Time for Trump just to be quiet on that race if he can’t support Moore.

Hopefully a majority of Mo Brooks voters go for Moore, if so Moore will walk away with it easily.

Please explain - what is anti-libertarian about a sitting president doing this?
