Flake: Republican Party ‘is a frog slowly boiling in water’
The Hill ^ | December 9, 2018

Posted on 12/09/2018 10:00:43 AM PST by SMGFan

Retiring Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said in a new interview that the Republican Party has been inured to danger of President Trump's continued criticism of special counsel Robert Mueller.

"It’s like the party is a frog slowly boiling in water, being conditioned to not be worried, to not think too hard about what’s happening around them,” Flake told The Washington Post.

“They feel at a loss about what to do because it’s the president’s party, without any doubt," he said. "So, there’s a lot of whistling by the graveyard these days.”

I’m so chilled-to-the-bone cold right now that this sounds kind of appealing.

Anybody remember the Clinton team shouting down everyone on tv news every night, and calling Ken Starr a sex pervert?

Yet *you* have no problem with continued criticism of Trump. You sir are a worthless piece of dog meat.

If Flakey was any dumber, he would cease to be sentient and instead be looking up at pond scum in the food chain.

Muller is an incompetent.
There are clear signs of collusion’s between Hillary Clinton, the DNC and the Russians to attempt to skew the results of the past election, and yet he has done nothing.
He should be fired for incompetence.

The attacks by Back Holes like "Mormon Barbie" make it clear.

It's DC against the Deplorables.

Our choice is simple.

It's us or them.

It would take a lot of hot sauce to make Flake palatable.

The American people were the frog slowly boiling in the multicultural pot that BOTH parties have spent 30 years trying to make sure we could not escape.

Trump is giving US the last chance to keep the rule of law and our country that Bush League Republicans like Flake have been trying to deny US.

Perhaps the dumbest one of the stupid party.

He actually believes the BS that the Mueller investigation isn’t a political football launched by the left.

The guy can’t leave fast enough.

"but he is still trouble in Senate with judges."

He'll be in DC for 5 more days, but will probably spend most of his time on 'K'St. looking for lobbyist jobs or a place on Nadler's 2020 impeachment team.

He's right but for the wrong reason.

"It’s like the party is a frog slowly boiling in water, being conditioned to not be worried, to not think too hard about what’s happening around them,”

Flake believes the Republican party is in danger of dying because they won't capitulate or 'change with the times'.

The opposite is true.

If the Republican party is dying it's because the people who vote for Republicans no longer believe the people they elect will fight for them.

The Republican party will die if they don't start fighting.
