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.'

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.
I hope someone’s keeping a list of all these destructionist quislings.
Im guessing this douche bag doesn’t own a firearm, otherwise he woudlnt support Hillary Clinton..you know what, in a way I am glad that this happened..if the ONLY thing Trump does this election is show us who the Republican Party REALLY is this would have all been worth it
They are not hard to track, they leave TDS bullshiite where ever they go.
When is his next election? It’s primary time.
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.
Senator Flake?
You couldn’t make that name up.
Flake is the Queen of the neverTrump camp,who is he trying to kid?
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.
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.
Is there really a conservative senator there other than Jeff Sessions? Name one other.
Flake may be as bad as McPain: probably is. AZ hasn’t had anyone good in generations now.
This lying s*** says he is “Not in the #NeverTrump”. Devious, lying cucksucker.
idiots like this are helping Trump with indies. his GOP is dead he just doesn’t know it yet
When is his next election? It’s primary time.
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!
