This idiot did himself NO favors, with his recent Trump bashing book tour. He can’t retract that!

Never fear! Midge McTurtle’s PAC will attempt to rescue the Flake by encouraging those Dems to cross over and vote for their ‘freebies’ not to stop.

My theory is that he is willing to risk losing the primary in order to get cred with people with whom he wants cred. If he believes that Trump will flame out at some future date, he can portray himself as "the Prophet". He can always get a gig as "the conservative Republican analyst" at CNN or NPR.
