They've got jobs, which puts them one up on that burden on the community, the RINO, Jeff "Full-bore" Flake.

“The whole We The People thing is lost on Jeff.”

You are right. The reason politicians will lose their jobs is that R’s will defeat any R who tries to derail the President. So it’s not a Trump issue. Flake’s issue is that he thinks the voters are wrong.

Flake needs to show us his amazing backbone and give us THE NAMES OF THE JERKS WHO ARE GETTING ELECTED BY LYING TO GOP VOTERS.

We have the right to know who's a turncoat and who works against our President...

Translation: “It is difficult for elected officials to turn their backs on the people who they are supposed to represent, because if they do, the voters will stop voting for them, and will vote for someone else who will do what they want”

In many ways, Flake does wander into the truth!

There are plenty of elite snobs on the government payroll, who despise Trump for calling out the kind of politics they love that he has exposed but they don’t see a reason to anger and incense those whose votes they need!

If they thought they could get rid of him by an anonymously, without having to have a public vote, I believe they would in a heartbeat!

So why aren’t you naming any of these so-called Republicans out Flakey? You’ve always been a slime ball with no values, or ethics, so go ahead...spill your guts.

Flake, who was never shy about his distrust of Trump, said it is “difficult” for Republican lawmakers to speak out against Trump because they do not want to lose their jobs.

Yes...the very essence of a representative legislative body....fail to do the bidding of the electorate, and you will get fired.

Message to Breitbart:

Flake is a yesterday piece of trash. What the hell are you doing to put out this piece? Giving him a soapbox?

And Flakey’s nose is still leaning to the left... You’d think he’d get that fixed.

he should know ...

it’s what happens when you piss off the voters, though of course he avoided the embarrassment of being crushed by said voters by chickening out and not running again ...
