Former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake made a bold claim on Thursday when he said "at least 35" GOP senators would privately vote for President Trump's impeachment.

Appearing at the 2019 Texas Tribune Festival, Flake, a frequent critic of the president, offered his own reaction and predicted that close to three dozen Republican senators would back impeachment.

"I heard someone say if there were a private vote there would be 30 Republican votes. That's not true," Flake said during a Q&A. "There would be at least 35."

No disrespect intended here but that is one of the most naive statements I’ve ever read.

ie, if senators didn’t have to be accountable to their constiuents. Flake got tired of acting to repect the people who gave him the job, so he’s been sent into early retirement. Sinema is more of a Republican than him anyway, which isn’t saying much but at least it’s an upgrade.

Flake is a liar. If there were 35 GOP Senate votes for impeachment, Flake would never have left the Senate.

Yup, I’m thinking he is right on. Maybe more. Politicians of any stripe generally don’t like the kind of things Trump is doing, they have too much invested in the system.

... I am just one old man but there a lot like me out in the country.

Do I count at 81 years old? If so count me in.

Rino the flake is a lying dog... he can’t muster 3 votes let alone 35 cowards on the GOP side of the senate.

I want his head on a pitchfork before New Years day.

Flake continues to flake out with his personal BS posing as news.

99.99% of President Trump’s deploreables would not shed a tear if aliens took this POS away for a few eons.

The ratio is probably the same with the nation’s insane liberals in congress and still alive to vote.
