The news just keeps getting worse for Jeff 'The Flake' as a new poll shows him trailing Kelli Ward by 14 points. Flake, who voted for Evan McMullin in the 2016 election, only accomplishment as a senator was to push for amnesty as a member of the 'gang of eight'.
Flake has spent the last couple of months trying to sell his new book by going on liberal networks to bash the president.
Flake siding with Hillary Clinton, Obama, and the democrats on gun control, open borders, on the supreme court, and on unbridled free trade has shown Arizona republicans that The Flake doesn't have their back.
From AzHighGround:
28.2% Jeff Flake 42.5% Kelli Ward 5.1% Some other candidate 24.2% Don’t know, Refused
On Tuesday, President Trump called out Flake at his rally saying Flake is "weak on borders, weak on crime.”
Trump also calls out Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, but doesn’t use his name: He's "weak on borders, weak on crime” https://t.co/OMOaooCUtl — Anderson Cooper 360° (@AC360) August 23, 2017
A statewide survey conducted by Az High Ground shows Flake fourteen points behind his primary opponent Doctor Kelli Ward and eight points behind potential general election opponent Kyrsten Sinema.

The Republican Primary Election sample was of 273 high efficacy Republican and PND/Independent voters and has a margin of error of ±5.93%. The General Election sample of 400 high efficacy general election voters has a margin of error of ±4.88%.
“While Election Day may still be more than a year away, Senator Jeff Flake’s campaign has a lot of work to do to persuade Republican primary voters that his form of principled Republican conservatism can trump the nativist populism that is fueling Republican voters’ antipathy towards Washington insiders. These same Republicans still give the President a 74% approval rating in Arizona,” said Chuck Coughlin, President & CEO of HighGround Public Affairs, which conducted the poll.
NBC’s Steve Kornacki details how Arizona Senator Jeff Flake’s reelection chances fare when considering his recent feuding with President Trump and tough primary challenger Kelli Ward.
The GOP John Kerry.
Trump needs to name Neo-Nazis, Anti-Fascists, and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist groups.
Then see which of the three groups the Liberal Left will condemn. I bet it will be the Anti-Fascists and the Muslim Brotherhood.
How reliable is the poll?
Can Ward beat Sinema?
It’s almost certainly too high for Flake-—but I’ve told the Ward campaign to completely ignore this, and any other poll showing her up.
The media will ONLY tout polls showing her support falling, so forget polls entirely.
I think she can beat him like a drum, but must work like she’s behind.
How does Ward stand up vs the D?
Good philosophy! Hope she wins!
Time to make an example out of him. Kind of like the Texas Ranger quelling a riot- just shoot the first one, the rest chill out.
32.5% Jeff Flake 40.5% Kyrsten Sinema 27.0%
And here’s is how Flake wins. The GOPe knows it and it is what they will do. Split the vote keep the RINO how many times do we let this happen?
as a Zoni we got Kelli to 40% against the McCain RINO, if we all just hang in there she will bury the Flake RINO to where she is wins in the primary.
The Amnesty Senators MUST GO!
Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake in 2018
Graham and Alexander in 2020
Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022
Remove them from office before they give away our country.
the russians are coming through once again...

This is why we have trump now. No idea why he is playing nice with the very swamp he claimed he wanted to get rid of
The aptly named senator flake will lose- killed by self inflected wounds.
That should not matter. When you vote in the primaries you vote for policy and ideology. It takes discipline to do that.
What makes this fun is The Turtle spending his globalist handlers million$, sending it off to AZ to lose on Flake, but succeeding only in helping the state’s economy.
McConnell moving in on AZ makes a GREAT foil for Ward, as well.
She could be pretty goofy and still ride the Rage Rails out there against these UniParty traitors and all the way for the WIN.
When I lived in AZ, Sinema was a real piece of work. She talks a good game but underneath a rabid Dem. If I recall, she claims to be bi, so she will get that group. Also, she has a very annoying voice.
