I do hope that somebody does run in the primary against the president, the Arizona senator told C-SPAN on Friday. I think Republicans need to be reminded of what conservatism really is, and what it means to be decent.

I fear for the future of the party if we dont remember who we really are, he said.

I’m sure MSNBC will hire him.
Did they test nukes there back in the day?
We’ve had to many flakes for President as it is.
He should team up with JEB and venture on a nation wide prissy boy tour.
OH, Donald Trump hurts our feelings, whoa is me!
We show our strength by being girly men tee hee hee.
I feel pretty! Oh so Pretty and I see rainbows and fluffy bunnies because we are just so nice. Nothing is really evil if we just be nice and have no borders. EtC.
Flake is stupid and evil. Th Dems.at would only help the
The Dems have a better chance against some unknown R, than against Trump.
By all means, flaky. Step right up and put your hat in the ring. Show us what it means to be decent.
I agree. I am so sick of hearing fellow "conservatives" heap praise on worthless RINO Susan Collins because she did something decent for once.
She saw the writing on the wall that he was going to win confirmation anyway, had to get on the "winning side", and tried to justify it around her fellow liberals by saying she thinks he'll vote pro-abortion on SCOTUS and therefore she can support him. End of story. It doesn't mean she's moving to the right or is going to start voting pro-life or "realizes she can't trust the Democrats anymore" or blah blah blah.
The most bizarre thing is Eric Scheidler, the director of the Pro-Life Action League, actually heaped praise on her for going a speech saying Kavanaugh will "protect a woman's right to choose" and adding "I wouldn't vote for a candidate that I thought would do otherwise". He dismissed her pro-abortion comments as "just one of the many issues she talked about". I had to pinch myself. Scheidler is the LAST guy I'd expect to see applaud some pro-abortion RINO for giving a pro-abortion speech, and saying we should focus on "other issues" where she said the "right thing".
Someone please check to see if he's been replaced by a Pod Person.
Go ahead Jeff, take the plunge and earn a new nickname.
Any republican’t that runs against Trump will get crushed.
Dear Sen. Flake, wasn’t 19 enough last time?
Dude, you are soooo yesterday!
To keep the swamp going...
Sure. I can see that.
Its akin to Impy pointing out that Truman doesnt deserve credit for ending WW2; he merely did the minimum requirement of his job.
No applause or adulation needed.
Agreed.
Yeah I mean, some guy breaks into your house and ties you up and he starts carrying your stuff out to his car, but he doesn’t rape your wife, do you thank him as he walks out the door? No.
I certainly appreciate Collins not ***king us over this time, and as I said I’ll likely support her reelection as it’s unlikely she’s gonna have a viable challenger in the primary, but you don’t deserve a parade thrown for you for voting with the party on a 3-line whip (google it, the one thing the parliamentary systems does better) you merely DON’T get slapped upside the head.
Saint Jeffy has appointed himself to be the sanctimonious omnipotent judge of all that is decent and civil. Of course he sees himself as the model of perfect decency, oblivious to the fact that nearly every day he has insulted and demeaned President Trump. Disgusting hypocrite.
Hes a like a nasty old school marm, always lecturing and scolding everyone about how we and Trump should think and behave.
Hes leaving the senate in disgrace, a hated man everywhere,and I hope this haunts him for the rest of his life.
Once a brain-dead idiot, always a brain-dead idiot.
Re: ‘Im guessing Flake may run as an independent.”
I completely missed that possibility.
That’s a very unnerving idea.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton lost Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania by less votes than the Green Party got in each one of those states.
It will not take many votes to tip 2020 to the Democrat nominee.
“...came thru and voted the right way for The Kav....”
He did, which WAS honorable. Credit where it’s due.
But yes, he either needs to get on board with repairing and RETAKING OUR country, or he needs to got away.
flake doesn’t have chance: kasich already has the mailman vote locked up ...
Hes such a fool
