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 don’t see any serious issues with Flake’s judicial roadblock. Delays of 1 -2 months for some judges, but it becomes even easier a month from now.

Why is it we hardly head a word out of or about this guy until he went full-on anti-Trump and was leaving the Senate? What happened the rest of his term? Did he accomplish anything? Or is he just the Dems favorite R now that McCain is taking his dirt nap?

Speaking of frogs; I wonder if Flake is paying attention to Paris. The world is waking up to the failures of liberalism.

Flakey will probably be starting his prime time gig at MSLSD next month.

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

Even Flake is not that stupid.
He knows that Trump must be stopped if the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) is to succeed.
Bush League Republicans have spent 30 years preventing the citizens from stopping the illegal alien inundation.
It’s their number one goal.

Just like the Houses of Congress have the express constitutional power to expel bad-apple members, the Republican Party Platform needs to be amended as follows for RINO lawmakers.

If you call yourself a Republican but vote Democratic then you’re automatically reregistered as a Democrat.

Trump is going to be indicted. Either after impeachment or once he leaves office.

The only question is if he can get a fair hearing.

How could they keep electing McCain? How could they elect Sinema? What the hell is the deal with AZ in general? Maybe it's the heat.

There was a Republican party long before Flake was in it. And there will be a Republican party long after Trump leaves office.

Yeah for three more weeks. Who cares. The Republicans gained two more senate seats in the new Congress next year.

We also reelected our Republican Governor.

Maybe it was McSally.

And there will be a Republican party long after Trump leaves office.


Only if Trump wins in 2020. The Party of Lincoln will cease to be a national party should that not happen. Millions of Trump supporters will “vote for their wife” in 2022 and the party will be no more.
