Flake is Arizona's second RINO...his campaign was the epitome of Conservatism...but once elected he did a complete one-eighty. Of course he is upset with Trump as the future doesn't bode well for RINOS!

U.S. Republicans in Washington are coming to grips with what many of them not long ago considered an unimaginable reality: Donald Trump is likely to be their presidential nominee and standard-bearer.
The prospect of Trump winning the Republican primary had been the stuff of Washington jokes, whispered hallway conversations and eye-rolls, even as he led in public opinion polls for months and dominated debate after debate.
But with the brash billionaire now winning three straight contests in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada, denial is giving way to a mostly gloomy acceptance that he may have too much momentum to be stopped, especially if wins big in key Southern primaries next week that look favorable to him.
"It fills all of us with concern and dread,” said Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, who has endorsed fellow Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, considered the main hope of the Republican establishment to derail Trump’s march to the nomination.

A lot of GOP voters have wised up and seen the light. A vote for any of the establishment candidates is essentially the same thing as voting for a Democrat.
The GOPe has stabbed its base in the back for decades. Their duplicity has finally run its course and now its payback time.
“”It fills all of us with concern and dread,” said Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona,”
They got the right name for this JOKER!!
He’s almost tied with McSTOOGE for being BUM NUMBER 1!!
I will be voting for TRUMP, so will most in my Neighborhood!
GO TRUMP!!!
A Vote for TRUMP is A VOTE FOR FREEDOM!! AMEN!!

Well said.
Better dread than Jeb!
Thank you. If the GOP had done its job in the past there would be no Trump or other non-establishment candidates. They merely reflect the frustration that conservatives have with years of GOP failures, lying and duplicity.
The GOP brought this on themselves and now they want to blame Trump.
Everyone should read the article on the Conservative Treehouse, their “Roadmap” provides an explanation for how the GOPe has engineered this whole primary process to get Jeb! elected knowing he could only pull 15% of the vote because he is so disliked, and what the role of each of the 17 candidates has been.
Trump is the wild card. In essence he has robbed the Bank of the GOPe and stolen their car to use for his getaway. If their theory is correct, then Christies endorsement was like a tactical nuke going off in Rince Priebus’ office.
A big-city media-driven liberal from New York City who is all over the map on every issue is the perfect candidate in the eyes of the GOP establishment. It's amazing so many real conservatives have allowed themselves to have the wool pulled over their eyes like this.
Most likely, all of your life. The globalists took over with the advent of radio, more or less.
Taken in Dec. 14, Jeb!, Rupert Mudock (owner of Fox News and Wall St. Journal) and...Valerie Jarrett:
The GOPe exposed themselves more than ever in the 2014 midterm elections. The republican party leadership and their financial backers fought true conservative candidates more than they do democrats.
I am a conservative. The current republican party leadership doesn’t represent me. They reel in conservative support during the election cycle but then go back to completely ignoring us once in office.
Those GOPe tears are so delicious...
Seems that he’s getting flak from all the right people. We’re finally getting over the target people!
“Some Republicans in Congress, such as Flake and Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said a Trump nomination would do enormous damage to the party and predicted a heavy election defeat in November to the eventual Democratic nominee.”
Jeb said the same, so I have a QUESTION for you and others. When Steve Forbes toyed with running for president on his flat tax in 1996, one of the MAIN POINTS made by the GOPe was EXACTLY the above...he would lose the House and the Senate. I didn’t understand it then, and I don’t understand it now. When you run someone that has tremendous appeal and BRINGS OUT VOTERS, wouldn’t that help in down-ballot races? It certainly did in 1980 when Reagan won the Senate and cut the huge Dem majority in the House by half. On the other hand, I NEVER heard any concerns like that when McCain ran in 2008, yet we got CLOBBERED in the Senate, to the point where the Dems had the 60 seats they needed to push through Obamacare.
So how does this work now? Trump runs, at worst he loses in a close race, but MILLIONS come out to vote for him anyway...how does that hurt down-ballot races...or ARE WE BEING PLAYED, yet again, as Senator Collins had this to say:
“I don’t think his nomination would be catastrophic,”. She said she did not believe, as some strategists fear, that having Trump on the ballot in November would hurt Republican chances for holding onto control of the Senate, where the party now has a 54-46 edge.
I think you guys know my answer.
Wouldn’t that be a beautiful thing.
It a little much for us to be blasting the GOP for the way they treat conservatives when some on this very site regularly trash Ted Cruz. In case we have forgot Ted was their main target because he was fighting the fight back before Trump had his epiphany!!!
