(CNN)Outgoing Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake says the Republican Party is in a "bad place," and that President Trump does not behave in the way that "a conservative should act."
In an interview on David Axelrod's show, "The Axe Files," airing on CNN Saturday at 7 p.m. ET, Flake blasted the direction the Republican Party was heading.
"We've stopped being the party of limited government, economic freedom, individual responsibility ... and kind of drifted off to fight the culture wars," said Flake, who announced late last year that he would not run for re-election.

Is Flake claiming to be a conservative?

It will be in a better place once these Progressive Republicans are gone.

This proto-retard, pathetic senator is definitely “in a bad place” in his life.

I wouldn’t trust Flake to empty my garbage. Where, except in his own mind, is he qualified to make pronouncements about ANYTHING?

“you start talking about flag burning or other cultural issues or immigration to try to make up for not being conservative fiscally.”
Put down the crack pipe, Jeff. ‘According to the centrist, pro-balanced budget group the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (which, regardless of its political leanings, is a reliable source of rigorous budget analysis), the presidents budget has a total of $3.1 trillion in budget savings relative to current law.’ - https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/2/12/16996832/trump-budget-2019-release-explained

To me, Flake has always resembled one of the Northeastern Kennedy or Kerry types. RINO is too good for that puke.

Any *real* Republican would want to shower with lye soap and a wire brush after conversing with Axelrod.

Flake is exactly the kind of “finger in the air” dirtbag you want to be critical of your position. He is appropriately named.

“Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake says the Republican Party is in a ‘bad place’”
and yet the GOP will be in so much BETTER of a place when Flake exists stage left ...

“Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake says the Republican Party is in a ‘bad place’”’
and by being in a “bad place”, does Flake mean having majorities in both houses AND the Presidency for the first time in decades?

Had this nutter pegged when he was in the House. Never supported him when he went for the Senate.

“Is Flake claiming to be a conservative?”
Apparently so, with his buds Glen Beck, Evan McMuffin, Billy Kristol, etc.
