GOP Senator: Colleagues Should Denounce Trump 'for Good of the Country'
PJ Media ^ | 8-2-2016 | Bridget Johnson

Posted on 08/02/2016 2:07:36 PM PDT by Sir Napsalot

A senator who says he's not in the "Never Trump" camp but has refused to endorse the GOP presidential nominee declared "some of us need to push back on these statements made by Donald Trump, I think, for the good of the party, for good of the country."

"We need to because somebody making these kind of statements shouldn't become president," Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) told MSNBC. "And I hope that he changes."

The Washington Post reported last month on tension between Trump and Flake at a Capitol Hill meeting of GOP senators. Flake introduced himself as “the other senator from Arizona — the one who didn’t get captured — and I want to talk to you about statements like that.” ......

The senator said he didn't want to speak for his colleagues on what the breaking point in their support for the nominee would be.

"I think the Muslim ban, for me, was one of those lines. His criticism of John McCain and then some of the positions he's taken. Not just the tone and tenor of the campaign, but the positions on immigration, for example. You know, just saying we're going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. We in Arizona need meaningful immigration reform," Flake said. "The statements made about NATO and our security arrangements with the European countries. You know, that -- we can't have that position and move ahead.'

"So, it's not just the tone and tenor of the campaign, it's the positions he's taken and for me, he's gone beyond ......

Flake is disgusting. When he come up for reelection I will contribute to his primary opponent providing he is at least a smidgen better than this traitor.

Whether one likes Trump or not, one has to give him credit for exposing by his very presence the fake conservatives and fake GOP and showing us who are willing to sell out this country.

No patriotic American, liberal or conservative, would pick Hillary over Trump.

Post-17th Amendment ratification Senator Jeff Flake is clueless that the people are supporting Trump as payback for all the unconstitutonal grief that the corrupt Washington cartel has burdened the people with for the last 7+ years, and arugably since the time of Constitution-ignoring FDR.

Arizona did not a presidential primary vote until 1996. That’s when we started getting liberal attention and lots of corrupting cash from the billionaires.

It has ruined our little libertarian state. McCain runs everything and he likes Flake.

Good grief, Trump has deal with a lot of crap from a lot of people (Dems, Hollywood, media, GOPe). Meanwhile, Hillary just hides behind these people and lets them do the dirty work.

Personally, I hold the opinion that no one should be able to hold elected office until they demonstrate they know enough about Islam to recognize that it is a radical political system hiding behind a 'religion'.

The reason, I suspect, that Mr. Khan carries around a copy of the Constitution is to be more cognizant of how he can use its protections to destroy our Republic and initiate Sharia.

Islam and its adherents should be destroyed from the face of the earth, and it will be when Jesus, the Living God, returns to earth in His resurrection body and sets up His Kingdom on earth.

Flake may be as bad as McPain: probably is. AZ hasn’t had anyone good in generations now.

The Washington Post

News Alert Tue., Aug. 02, 2016 4:31 p.m. Trump refuses to support Paul Ryan, John McCain in upcoming Republican primaries Of course, had he endorsed them 'they' would have called him a hypocritical SOB and accused him of insincerity.

Or maybe he should be applauded for having the guts to cut thru the BS and tell us the truth.

McCain has bee a train wreck and the Muzzie father is a Clinton shill. So screw off, ya Flake!
