Republican senator caught on live mic saying GOP was 'toast' under leadership of Roy Moore, Donald Trump (ABC News) Sen. Jeff Flake, a frequent sparring partner of President Donald Trump, continues to make enemies in his own party after calling the GOP "toast" while unaware he was still on a live mic.
Flake, R-Ariz., was at a tax reform event in Mesa, Arizona on Friday night when he was caught bashing the president in a conversation with friend, Mesa Mayor John Giles.
"If we become the party of Roy Moore and Donald Trump, we are toast," Flake was caught saying by ABC affiliate KNXV.
Moore is running for the vacant Senate seat in Alabama left by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He has come under fire for a number of allegations of sexual harassment and assault, but has refused to leave the race.
Trump is a frequent opponent for Flake, who announced last month he would not seek re-election in 2018 in a fiery speech condemning the president from the floor of the Senate.

We, means Uniparty.
It is comforting to hear Flake say that, since he is wrong about everything else.
Flake is toast because the swamp draining will accelerate. The Republican Party like the Phoenix will be reborn under President Donald Trump.
That sums it up very well.
Spoken like a true Demo... Repukeican! This guy is on the DNC payroll.
Senator Flake is one of the most aptly named people I know about.
They want to be carbon copies of Democrats of leftists but keep the tag Republican.
Flake is trying to out do Hillary as a sore loser, and he did the French surrender monkey routine without a fight.. At least Hillary sort of tried to win. Jeff Flake = SORE LOSERBOY! Maybe he can get another island survivor gig on a TV show nobody watches.
PS, he was just reflecting his own reality as being toast as a soon to be past politician.
What he really meant was that the Establishment was toast, once anybody upsets the cozy relationship with their big-money donors.
He knew the mic was on.
I hope he’s right and the gop is toast.
And it sounds like your buddy "the mayor" needs to be shown the way out the door too. Buh-bye!
Trump won, Moore was cruising to a huge win before the contrived attacks on him (and will probably win anyway), and Flake cannot win his own primary (and if he did, would lose in the general), and Flake sees the winners as toast.
I would interpret that statement as admitting that if Donald Trump and Roy Moore get control of the GOP, RINOs are toast.
Wrong!
You’ve become the party of not repealing Obamaharm among other promise breaking!
You’ve become the party of resisting your voters to get along with the Democrats and their voters (especially those in the press)!
You’ve become the party of cowardly handwringers who are so afraid of unpopularity that you are unable to be popular!
You are swamp, you are useless, you’re Democrat Lites.
When you don’t present a real choice, a real difference, but only lighter shades of craptacular why should anyone get excited about voting for you?
... may as well get excited about taking a big crap....
Get off you’re asses and do what you promised. The Democrats are ENEMIES, not friends. They defend their own like anything short of a CONVICTION isn’t evidence they will even consider, vs evidence against you to include every whiffing investigation, even rumor.
Desire their defeat. Not their comradarie. And desire their utter defeat!
Who cares what this has been GOPe hack has to say.
That’s why he’s called, “Flake.”
What a flake.
