President Donald Trump’s tweet yesterday morning endorsing a primary challenger to Arizona senator Jeff Flake was hardly a surprise. Trump likes to call himself a counter-puncher, so from his frame of reference, Flake had been asking for it by not only consistently criticizing the president but also spending the summer promoting a book attacking Trump and the Republicans who haven’t stood up to him. But this is a move Trump and his party may come to regret.
Trump wasn’t the only one annoyed by Flake’s Conscience of a Conservative and the accompanying tour. The senator’s attempt to cast himself as the successor to Barry Goldwater, whose 1960 book by the same name was a seminal moment in the rise of the modern conservative movement, was an act of colossal pretension. His interviews on shows such as Morning Joe amounted to nothing more than obnoxious virtue-signaling even from the point of view of Flake’s fellow Trump critics.

National Review shilling for their globalist cheap labor outsourcing overlords.
Wouldn’t it be great if NR released a list of the handful of globalist big donors providing their funding, so we knew whose interests exactly they are working for?
Tobin,
Flake is going down for ignoring the electorate of which I am a part.
What happens in the general is another issue but first Flake GOES DOWN.
Not many voted for Childers.
Kinda like Maine and Alaska Huh? Or a couple other states I could name.
If you really care, you could come down and change the open primary rule we have in this state. Then you can convince the MORMONS who run the whole AZ strip and nearly the whole east side to vote for a non Mormon.
How to Give Jeff Flake’s Senate Seat to a DemocratHow would we tell the difference?
Whats the difference, Tobin?
You NRO guys are pretty much useless these days.
With RINO’s like Flake, who needs RAT’s?
Don’t forget, Flake immediately sold out the voters of Arizona by joining the “Gang of Eight” shortly after taking office.
Exactly. No difference between Flake and a dem. Its best to vote him out.
we’ve already got a democrat
Besides I prefer being shot at from the front to being stabbed in the back by a sellout.
National Review is interested in one thing, CHEAP LABOR.
“National Review is worried their RINO #NeverTrumper buddy may be in trouble.”
You have that right. The National Review sure has exposed themselves for what they are after President Trump’s election. Flake himself said he is a globalist. Out with the bast@ard.
International Screw can KMA.
And Cicero said it more elegantly:
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.
But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
A murderer is less to fear.
The traitor is the plague."
If the Flakester is a conservative, then I don’t know what the hell I am anymore. I guess just another normal American.
Anyone but Flake...
I have never forgotten it. I despise every single one of those pinheads who work at that rag.
NR is a Trump hate site and sick .
Barry the muslim first called Flake worried when the Deranged Democrat shot up Baseball practice .
Alway remember that.
As long as we have Juan, Collins and the Witch from Alaska, we don’t need Flake.
