Not turning anything into anything. Just pointing to reality: none of this means ANYTHING until the election. Heck we aren’t even 100% sure he’s gone until May 30 goes by without him registering as a candidate (assuming incumbents even have to follow that rule).
And I’m not actually call a 1 term Senator entrenched.
It’s not pessimism to recognize reality. You can admit the sun rises in the East or not, sun don’t care. You can admit this at most changes the odds (at least we probably don’t have to defeat him in the primaries) or not, swamp don’t care.
Well of course, it’s the election that finally matters. Whoever said it didn’t?
If you think Flake will try to run as a Rat or independent, you really don’t understand how much Arizona hates Jeff Flake. The Rats hate him and most Republicans hate him even more.
He has an 18% percent approval rating right now, maybe even lower. Republican Kelli Ward keeps consistently beating him in the polls by 25%. Nobody is buying his books. 19,000 Republicans booed his name at 130 decibles at the August Trump rally. Do not underestimate how much hatred this McCain clone has brought upon himself.
Jeffy is FINISHED as a senator in Arizona. Not even the Mormon mafia can or wants to save him.
