In the long run it’s better to have an Enemy who is an enemy. A Republican “friend” who is an enemy needs to be defeated. I would rather have the seat but I wouldn’t rather have Flake. I may have been more disappointed if the Senate was lost because of it but it’s not. If the option was 51 with Flake or 51 without Flake I’d take 51 without Flake and that’s what we got. Only, we got better than that. It’ll probably be 53 (if they don’t steal Mississippi and Florida). So the option becomes 51 with Flake or 53 without Flake. Now, if the question is 53 without Flake or 54 with Flake...I think I’m ok with 53 without Flake.
The good news is Trump is down to one enemy instead of two.
you refuse to admit the obvious, which is flake is +1, while sinema is -1, and +1 is better than -1 anywhere, anyplace, and anytime.
