Top Republican senator says his party is in 'denial' about Trump
Business Insider ^ | July 31, 2017

Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona wrote that his party is in "denial" about President Donald Trump in a column in Politico on Monday.

Flake, who is up for reelection in 2018 and is one of the more vulnerable GOP senators in the upcoming election, held little back in the Politico op-ed, describing an executive branch "in chaos" and a president who has "seeming affection for strongmen and authoritarians."

“If I lived in Arizona, I would vote for his Democrat opponent just get rid of him. The Democrat will vote the same way and say the same things anyway.”

Well, you don’t, and we won’t. I am not voting if Flake is the nominee, but I’m not voting for a communist kook either.

He voted for Rubio’s amnesty, along with Corker, Hatch and Heller who are all up in 2018.

We have to remove them or they WILL give away the country.

Time to PRIMARY this IDIOT!

I like #NeverTRUMPers like Dana Loesch & Michelle Malkin

When TRUMP won, they quit their idiotic shenanigans & got onboard!

They have been in it so long for themselves they are blind to the will of their constituents.

They always were.

Today, the revolution shines as bright as the sun, but their blinders are so think now.

“we’ve always been able to manipulate the masses!, Suckers, one and all!”, Thundered McCain

“They are too stupid to cause us any trouble”, barked the junior Ryan

“Hell!, we’ll call in the National Guard to get these dopey people in line”, bellowed McConnell

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Flake is just prepping to run as a Democrat. Jumping’ Jim Jeffords and Snarlin’ Arlen Specter are but two RINO examples.

Arizona has open primaries. Spewing garbage like this will get him lots of RAT votes and with squishy low information Republicans he will easily win reelection. Open primaries gets us RINOs like this and Linda.

Are they jockeying for MITT ROMNEY - direct descendant to Joseph Smith and the Mormon white horse prophecy?

This blathering idiot believes he’s a conservative! He’s a John McInsane big government Republican hack. And opposing Obama and wanting him to be a one term president was a problem? He and his kind of milk toast Republicanism caused Trump. I hope Arizona figures out the Arizona state Republican Party are the ones who keep trotting out the McInsane’s and Flake fruits for election. Come on Arizona get it rights for once!

He’s not a top republican. He very likely won’t get elected again

I’ll be willing to oust Flake in the general, if required.

Flake the Flake is no one’s idea of a “top” Senator..... he’s just a mini-me for McVain and Romney.

Who’s challenging the Flake in the GOP primary next year? Kelli Ward?

“Arizona is in denial about the fact that their Senators are more concerned about keeping the Cheap Labor Express running...”

Well, lots of those cheap labor types get to vote. Maybe even vote when they never go to the polls. All the Democrats need is a name...

He needs to talk with Allison Grimes about loyalty to the President. She was one of the few Democrats who lost because she ran away from Obama. Flake better reconsider running from Trump or he will be a goner.
