We know of course that the media will make this a Trump vs Republican fiasco, when we know it’s a RINO vs the American people war we have here.

These traitors in Congress, don’t want to cut taxes, cut regulations, secure our border, repeal Obamacare, decentralize healthcare, etc, they want to maintain the status quo.

Thankfully, we have a true patriot in the White House, who is exposing just how much we are despised by them.

The “nastiness” as he perceives it has been around for a while, so that’s just incredible nonsense. He saw the writing on the Arizona primary wall, and bowed out in advance of an embarrassing showing in that primary.

Yay...

“he will drop out of the race over the nastiness in the current GOP climate”

I thought the normal excuse was to “Spend more time with his family.”

Yup. She plays well in changing Arizona. Scares me to death that we would get her, but Kelli got sonked in the McCain campaign and in the general she will have an uphill battle.

It will be if we lose Flake’s seat to the Dem.

Yes. Conservatism doesn’t mean conserving communism, socialism, or dictatorial control over the American people.

I love it when the politicians complain about the loss of civility while blasting away at their enemies!

...now the search for a conservative must begin in earnest.

Bannon has already come out and endorsed Kelli Ward. I voted for her against McLame. She's the real deal.

I agree - this is the final spiteful move on their part.

It's more than just spite. The democrats had a lot more incumbent seats that were up this time around than the republicans. They are trying to even the playing field by making sure the republicans have as many in play.

This is just more proof, as if we needed any more that there is really only one party.

I guess his hate Trump book didn’t contribute to this atmosphere he is so afraid of.

Whoever gets the GOP nomination must know that they had better be unapologetic and loud active supporters of DJT and his agenda. If they’re not, we will CRUSH them in the primaries.

Flake didn’t get the heave-ho purely on his voting record, he voted with Trump most of the time. What got him in big trouble was his constant McStain-like carping and insulting of President Trump. Flake is a smug, smirking sanctimonious @hole. He and McStain are literally the two most hated senators by their constituents.

There was a national survey recently done which tried to answer the question: which states love their senators the most, which states hate their senators the most, etc.

McStain and Flake came out as the top two most hated senators—WHEEEE!! Guess which senator is loved the most by his constituents: Leaky Leahy. He’s been in the senate since 1975. Yep, those aholes in Vermont love their two senators, Leaky Leahy and Crazy Bernie.
