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.
I think a lot can happen in a year. Remember in 1966 we weren’t gonna have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore, see how that turned out.
Congress has an approval rate in the teens to 20s, and a re-election rate of over 90%. Polls a year out mean nothing. Nobody was buying Hillary’s books either. And we have open primaries.
Hopefully he is finished, hopefully he’s replaced by somebody worth a damn. But all we know right now is he probably isn’t running. Which is a good thing, now we gotta see how it plays.
