Trump Phoenix rally to highlight feisty feud with senator
CTPost ^ | August 20, 2017

When President Donald Trump takes the stage this week at a rally in Arizona, the state's junior senator will be nowhere to be seen. But Trump is likely to save some choice words for Sen. Jeff Flake.

The senator is currently in an escalating feud with the president — a spat that illustrates the upside-down world of Republican politics heading into the 2018 elections. Flake is a Republican incumbent who is beloved by many high-ranking party officials and he is trying to hold onto a seat that the party needs to keep control of Congress. Meanwhile, the president from his own party is actively campaigning against him and Flake is returning the punches.

Flake is a communists leftists. No damn good. Used to call him a RINO but RINOs are nothing more than part of the communists empire.

Trump should pound the crowd too that McCain has voted against individual freedom over 70% of the time. Cancer or not, that is treason.

Jul 12, 2017 - Just in time for election year, Jeff Flake ranks No 3. ... consider that Flake’s net approval rating of -8 percentage points is the worst of any senator.

Flake must be crushed under the heal.

No more open-borders Republican senators.

He’s love by the high ranking republicans but detested by the people. If those high ranking republicans want to remain high ranking they had better start paying attention

Are there any Dems who are against open borders? Anybody who wants open borders is either corrupt or hates this country.

“... McCain has voted against individual freedom over 70% of the time. Cancer or not, that is treason.”

Agreed. Trump should also publicly denounce McCain for accepting eight million dollars from Soros to immortalize himself at the University...

I wonder what kind of dirt Debbie Wishes-she-was-a-woman’s IT guys found on Flake.

See what Washington does to people. Flake used to be a rock-solid conservative. He was Tea Party before there was a Tea Party. No doubt that cheap-labor globalists and Mexican nationalists who want the Southwest greased his palms and now he’s the biggest squish in the party.

I'd be surprised if anyone can grease any US Senator's palms enough to turn him total traitor. They'll be rich when they leave without much effort. Anyone who turns that much, the manipulators have to have something on them.

Another consideration is how US Senate nominees are often chosen. The powers-that-be choose someone on their side and groom him/her to tell the lies it takes to get elected.

The Senate in Ancient Rome had nothing on our DC Sewer (US Senate)

JMHO

“Yeah, and that’s the problem.”

Flake said himself that he is a damn globalist. The bast@rd needs to go.

You know the McCain types will be backing him to the hilt. Any money sent to the RNC will be funneled to Flake. Only send money to the Trump Campaign or an individual candidate such as Moore.

The Amnesty Senators MUST GO!

Flake, Hatch, Heller and Corker in 2018

Graham and Alexander in 2020

Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022

Failure to do so will result in the loss of our country

Flake was Cheap Labor Express stooge in the House.
Arizona voters knew what they were getting if they were paying attention.
McCain has voted for every amnesty and he still gets elected.
Arizona LOVES the Cheap Labor Express.
