His staff should have been threatened. The word should have gone out before thanksgiving not to hire any of Flake’s staff until he decides to play team ball. They all need jobs and have huge beltway mortgages. That would have gotten Flake’s attention.
The reality is this is beltway theater and McConnell is just fine with Flake pumping the breaks on the MAGA agenda. Anything not done now will have to wait until the next Congress and K Street McConnell is just fine with that.
