Jeff Flake tells GOP not to support Trump in 2020
CNN ^ | Sept. 30, 2019 | Devan Cole

The rest of the title: It's 'time to risk your careers in favor of your principles.'

Former GOP Sen. Jeff Flake on Monday urged Republicans in Congress not to support President Donald Trump's 2020 reelection bid, saying they have a moral obligation to put their principles first -- even if it means risking their careers.

Flake, a longtime Trump critic who has before argued that the Republican Party should not support the President in 2020, made his case in an op-ed published in The Washington Post titled "Fellow Republicans, there's still time to save your souls," writing that Senate Republicans should refuse to support a second term for the President, despite their feelings on the Democrat-controlled House's impeachment inquiry.

"My fellow Republicans, it is time to risk your careers in favor of your principles. Whether you believe the president deserves impeachment, you know he does not deserve reelection," wrote Flake, who represented Arizona before he left Congress earlier this year.

Flake & Romney get more publicity here than they do on CNN. What else can be said about these guys that hasn’t already been said?

Think about lucky we are to have superior beings like Flake. Otherwise, we, the majority, would have no idea what we should think, how we should vote, or what we should do.

Apparently PDJT has no ammo on these guys, as the swamp CIA has it.

I believe there are no FBICIADOJSWAMP good guys at all or some would have confided in PDJT’s administration asking for protection for helping him (helping us)...since that has not happened, that is proof to me they are all black hats.

Hey Flakey! If anybody cared about anything you had to say, you’d still be a member of Congress. They don’t, and you aren’t. Now bugger off.

Jeff Flake: “Whether you believe the president deserves impeachment, you know he does not deserve reelection,”

Flake, who did not run because he knew he could not win, clearly does not understand it is the people who decide if candidates deserve reelection, not the entitled elites.

The arrogance from Flake and others is equivalent to that of Parliament and the King in 1776.

Flake is a RINO, a simpleton full of hate. Why listen to that little man when President Trump fights 24/7 for America and Americans!

An annoying piece of dandruff that you brush off of your jacket.

"My fellow Republicans, it is time to risk your careers in favor of your principles.

The only principle that matters in the context of the war between value destroyers/usurpers and value creators/producers is victory of value creators/producers.

It's 'time to risk your careers in favor of your principles.'

Holding on to their seat is their principle. Their only one.
