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.

Meh.
A freeper here spent months in 2016 personally attacking all who even considered voting for Trump, until finally quietly slinking off with the “consistent conservatives”.
We’re stronger than a POS like Flake.
reply: Moron.
The Morons, Mormons...leftist, never-trumper, deep - staters and oh yes the leftists dem traitor coup plotters...meed to be finally dealt with as they all have been asking for it fo well over 3 years now. Like grub worm larvae they are now being forced to the surface and need to be finally stomped the hell out of life!!!
We are coming to the end of the line on all of the hoaxes offered up as lies instead of the coups that they really are and the war to shut down these traitors unfortunately must not be out of the question for real patriots to face up to!
Too much has been done and said against this president and our country for these imposters to be left standing in place and in their current positions of authority - they must be taken down and GITMOED!
The are the real danger to our Constitutional Republic now and forever as long as they are alive!
“Flake, a longtime Trump critic ..”

“even if it means risking their careers”
Careers? Funny thing that, wasn’t aware that a career was an option or goal of being a Member of Congress. Careerism may be in great part the reason why US are in current straights.
Not a threat - just that they have to be removed from power and ID’d for what they had done and are doing, be taken down and remove before being sent to GIT!
They are the ones to date who have been threatening to our govt and to our President TRUMP!
Moron. Mormon....he’s both.
I live in AZ and I don’t hear anything from him. He thinks he is so important. Gosh, I hope he doesn’t run for governor.
I like it. Has a sort of Roman/Latin look to it.
Ask Flake about the dogs his kid killed.
“they have a moral obligation to put their principles first — even if it means risking their careers.”
Wow.....just like Pelosi saying it doesn’t matter if the Dims lose the house in 2020.
Could get rough for Flake and the GOP when millions of Trump voters decide they can no longer support a political party that endorses Mueller and his police state tactics. What’s good for the goose...
In Favor of honor duels.
Offend my honor, my choice of weapons at dawn.
Melt many snowflakes
Well I guess I have no morals cause I’ll be voting for Trump and even sending him $$$$$-)
Flake teaches us the two most important lessons from the Age of Trump. Never vote for a Senator for POTUS and never vote for a Mormon for Dogcatcher. I say that after happily voting for Romney to defeat the kenyan.
Hey Jeff, here’s a hint - the same way President Trump did.
Flake is aptly named.
Philistine...
Your comment struck a chord in my memory.
Who gives a hoot what Flake thinks?
Saint Jeffy had a 9 percent approval rating when he left office. Bwaahahahahahah!!!
He has not moved back to Arizona because he knows everyone here HATES him as much as we HATE Dirtnap MCCain.
