Former GOP Sen. Jeff Flake Says He Won’t Vote for Donald Trump in 2020 - (Throw Up)
Breitbart ^ | April 28, 2020 | Katherine Rodriguez

Former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) says he will not be casting his vote for President Donald Trump in 2020, citing concerns he had with the president before the 2016 campaign.

“I just couldn’t support [Trump] long before he started to run. The birtherism thing was just too much for me. And then it piled on,” Flake, a vocal critic of Trump, told the Washington Post.

Flake also warned that a second Trump term could deter younger voters from the GOP, especially on issues concerning the environment and immigration.

“So for young people who’ve grown up around minorities or had a different experience than a lot of us in my generation, they don’t harbor, I think, some of the prejudices that people in my generation do,” Flake said.

Flake added that a Trump defeat in November would benefit the Republican Party and conservatism in the long run.

“This won’t be the first time I’ve voted for a Democrat — though not for president. Last time I voted for a third-party candidate,” he said. “But I will not vote for Donald Trump.”

Flake also predicted the GOP would change once Trump ends his time in the Oval Office.

“The pendulum swings when one party takes it too far,” he said. “We’ll be ourselves again.”

Flake served in the Senate between 2013 and 2019 and served six terms in the House before that.

As a senator, he criticized Trump on a variety of issues, including his negative comments on his colleague, former Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in 2015.

Politico reported that Flake was also “shocked” to discover that his friend and former House colleague Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) was selected to be Trump’s running mate...

Better watch out, Jeff. You won’t be re-elected. And who knows if you will get knocked off a committee or two!

He almost pulled it off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He did pull it off.

With the complete cooperation of the GOP.

The deadly precedent has been set.

Now any illegal alien anchor baby, Chinese tourist baby and Anwar Al-Awlaki’s kids, born in Yemen to one citizen parent, are eligible. (If Ted is, they are)
The founders specifically specified natural born citizen to exclude foreigners.
The children of foreigners ARE foreigners, even if born here they all inherit the nationality of their parent(s).

The GOP went along with it because they have a stable full of ineligible candidates they want to run, Rubio, Jindal, Cruz, Haley and George P. Bush, all born of foreign nationals with more than ONE nationality.

Words have meaning or the Constitution is an illusion.

Yep. He pulled it off. It is unlikely that Trump will open a birther investigation. The only possibility is if Barr’s investigation into the Russia gambit finds a criminal conspiracy to overthrow the government. Obama would be the one who ordered it. Clapper already said so. If found to be a traitor, a serious look at his real biography, not his KGB legend, would be warranted.

The difference between the Republicans that you listed and Obama is that Obama was a mole planted by the Muslim Brotherhood. The Republicans you listed are loyal Americans.

McCain has returned in another body. Romney is now second fiddle.
