Flakey trots off to chit chat with CNN and Obamanator David Axelrod.... why do we know Flakey is a CINO RINO POS???
Senator, most would agree with you in saying the Republican party is in a bad place. The members that make up the party are in a far worse off place. Those who are deemed not conservative, but only RINOs are dooming themselves into oblivion. If you are not favorable as to where this party is being held, we suggest you change your spots, stripes, color, and wrangle an invitation to participate in another party.
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 ...
><><
Thread winner!
It’s going to be just a tad better at the end of your term Jeff.
FOAD. STFU and GTFO.ESAD,
Laz
No Jephro! Youre in a bad place, you phuckin Phlake! ESAD!
Once a flake always a flake .
But it will be in a better place once you are gone Flakey.
Hold on ......
FLMAOTIMES 500!
See ya flakey
Moving towards conservatism - bad place!
Moving towards liberalism - oh happy days!
This is why he’s out on his ass come January 3rd!
Says the man that did not run for reelection because he knew he would lose his ass in the primary. What he is really trying to say is his party has rejected him. Schadenfreude is sweet honey to be savored.
His career is in a bad place.
It’s good Flake is not running for reelection, The poor guy is confused. He doesn’t realize that his complaints would apply to the demcrats, not republicans.
If by not how a conservative should act he means standing up for yourself and not letting the MSM get away with lying, then yes, Trump is not acting like a “conservative.”
It’ll be in a much better place once you’re gone.
You were right about him. I wonder if we have “Morning Jeff” to look forward to.
But Richard Carmona (D) wouldn’t have voted to cut taxes and nuke the filibuster to confirm Neil Gorsuch, both of which barely passed, so supporting Flake in the general election was obviously the correct course, you can’t pretend anything he’s done or said comes close to negating that good, no one but the liberal media cares about his anti-Trump whining.
Might have also been tough to beat Carmona as an incumbent this year. With Flake at least leaving an open seat, we have a chance to hold it.
It’s not that I’d vote for Carmona (were I an AZ resident), I just simply won’t vote for Flake. I ceased voting for our RINO wonders in TN (the Senators) after their first elections. As for the RINO Governor, I never voted for him either time.
In 2012, I voted for Corker’s Democrat opponent who was more Conservative than he (Mark Clayton). State Dems tried to strip Clayton of the nomination, stating their belief that he was a “far-right Conservative Republican” who used a low turnout primary (read: low-info voters) to bamboozle Democrats. I thought it was magnificent. They can f up our primaries by nominating left-leaning RINOs, but heaven forfend our side sneaks one through the Dems.
BTW, Clayton won the primary because his name was first alphabetically. The most famous person in the race was Park Overall from “Empty Nest.” A far-left nutter from the most ancestrally GOP area of the state. Clayton got 30%, she came in 3rd with 15%.
Corker was safe, so your protest vote for wacko conspiracy nut Mark Clayton (D and according to him he was really a Democrat and was considering voting for Obama for reelection, which makes him pathologically insane) did no harm.
“Our side” didn’t “sneak” Clayton in, no one was paying attention to the primary against a safe Republican Senator and no major rats were running, Clayton won with 30% primarily because he was listed first on the ballot, no one on planet Earth knew who he was until after he won the primary, he had no discernible primary campaign. No quasi-conservative will ever win a rat primary that’s not in a safe GOP race that no one is paying attention to.

Flake was in a close race against a leftist turncoat (who would have become a rat “star” as a Hispanic former Bush official elected in a Republican state), any Republican in AZ that didn’t vote for him was a fool, who is exactly half as much a problem as anyone who voted for Carmona.
Given the alternative being Willard in 2012, either selection was pathologically insane. I proudly voted for Virgil Goode. I guess that makes me a fool for not rubber-stamping RINO scum.
