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 were total winners with Mitt and John McCain. Nothing but winning.
BUMP!
I certainly hope that the GOP of Flake, McCain, Ryan and McConnell is toast.
Exactly. Flake has been an enemy agent for most if not all of his disgraceful Senate career.
Flake is living up to his name
Here are the facts
Never Trumpers and drive by media radio talk hosts are having a field day ignoring the fact that all of the accusers were of the age of legal consent. Including the one claiming when 14 years old. For her accusations are the juiciest. Which they gleefully relate and dwell on in a touchy feel-ly manner as if it came off of a police report yesterday. Not as a unsubstantiated recollection from 40 years ago. Because they know these are damaging accusations which will be almost impossible to disprove.
Despite that fact that it has been uncovered that two of his accusers are working for the Perversion Party and that their accusations are false and politically motivated. The drivebys and the nevers media are not reporting this but are mentioning one accuser is a “Republican” .
Here is background on two accusers. One works for the perverts that one knows the one who claimed she was 14. But was actually 17 at the time? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3603606/posts
Latest charge : Grad book signature a forgery; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3604591/posts
someone named Roy signed it Moore’s last name was added to it. His legal secretary at the time he was a Circuit Court Judge declared it a forgery because her initials DA appear with his signature in that year book. Because she would do so to verify his signature only on his court rullings.

We can only hope.
Until the GOP is burned to the ground, nothing will change.
We NEED to make that Mayor toast. He has a picnic basket waiting for any and all illegals.
He’s the most liberal mayor and don’t think the left hasn’t got their eye on him.
Flake has no understanding of what voters want. The Republican party is toast unless it embraces Trump and actually attempts to win again. The party of Jeb! and Kasick and Flake is the party that liked losing and making excuses and letting the globalists take control of this country. Why can’t people like Flake just admit they are not Republican, they are uniparty globalists? Oh right, because they have to pretend in order to get elected.
Roy Moore being elected in Alabama will be no different than Jesse Helms representing North Carolina during the Reagan era. Jesse was a little more conservative, a little more religious, than the average Republican, which meant he always supported President Reagan on everything that mattered to us—taxes, defense, foreign policy. He gave the MSM a good target for derision, but the people of his state didn’t care, and Republicans didn’t try to destroy him. The difference post-Bush is that that type of Republican is supposed to be gone from the party. People in Alabama and Mississippi are allowed to have Republican Senators, but they have to be acceptable to the swamp or they will be destroyed, one way or another. Hence McDaniel in MS. And Roy Moore in AL.
I would not be surprised to see an Alabama scenario worked out for Flake in Arizona. They come up with bogus charges against Kelli Ward or whoever is leading in the primary and they suddenly demand that Flake decide not to retire. Or they run him as a third party. If the GOPe can’t have the seat, they would rather it go to a Democrat.
He’s not wrong and I applaud the toasting. The GOP is nothing BUT the GOPe, and as a Conservative I am glad to be done with them.
Yes, and it was a bad sign that the RNC, which should be under Trump's control, withdrew support for Moore. He could probably use some of its get out the vote infrastructure and other resources. He may win anyway, but they should be helping him. Trump should not let the seat be lost. He could take the position that they can deal with any accusations after the election, and then appoint a new Republican if they had to. But they would never have to, because these women will melt away after their phony claims fail to work.
This will be the new meme for the uniparty type. “Roy Moore is bad for the republican brand”. Like we care
Let’s see, Trump won states no republican has won in a generation and the election.
Moore would have had an easy victory but for Mitch McConnell and company going after him for all they are worth.
Seems to me that it is the GOP establishment that is toast, even when they win elections. Especially given that they had seven years to come up with an Obamacare repeal and failed utterly.
He’s right!
The GOPe RINOs, like him, are toast.
Flake is not a Republican, he is a RINO at best.
I guess toast took on that connotation in the sense that it is done.
Flake is already toast. The Mesa Mayor will soon be toast.
I hope you’re right and I hope the voters will send that message loud and clear
Sen. Flaky McFlake Flake needs to flake off and go flake himself.
Good post!
