Flake told C-SPAN host Steve Scully he found it "disturbing" how Trump's supporters still cheer "lock her up" at his rallies about 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

A perfect example of why Flake is stepping down (because he has been rejected). She should be locked up!

Mr. Flake, what exactly is happening currently within the Republican party that makes you say “decency, we've got to get back to it”? What exactly are you objecting to?

Is it Trump's non-politician way of communicating? Do you prefer form over substance? If a politician ignores the will of the people, but does so with a very ‘dignified’ though dishonest persona, is that better? Where is your criticism of those on the left who have thrown away any attempts to conceal their hatred? Trump - indecent, but Maxine Waters - decent? Really?

Is it Trump's history of affairs etc, or the Access Hollywood tape? Arguably, those are past behaviors, and there is no current evidence of any of these actions by Trump now. Conversely, plenty of liberals, media, and ‘career politicians’ have been caught in ongoing egregious behavior - despite their ‘dignified’ public personas. What about the Congressional sexual harassment slush fund to deal with sexual indiscretions of Congress members? I haven't heard you talk about this. Is it just that it's more important to ‘look good’ than to ‘act good’? Where exactly are you coming from?

Is it Trump's proclivity for calling out people publicly, like ‘Crooked Hillary’? Should we just let the left and the truly indecent people in politics and elected office go on unchecked? Isn't it time that Republicans start fighting back and fighting for those people who put them in office?

Where's the decency on the left? Is it decent behavior to try to nullify the legitimate votes of the Americans who put Trump in office? Is it decent behavior to weaponize government agencies like the IRS and the FBI? Is it decent behavior for an ex-Secretary of State, Kerry, to fly to a country that has sponsored terrorism around the world and contributed to the deaths of many Americans, and try to undermine the foreign policy of a sitting president? Do you think Kerry is a ‘decent’ man? What's your definition of decency?

Finally, is it really Trump's rough behavior and lack of what you consider public dignity that is bothering you about him, or is it that he has shown the world that politicians, with their practiced and well-honed ‘dignified’ public personas are actually just empty suits - you included?

Flake seems to not care about our Constitution or rule of law.

As a matter of fact, he seems to be against it.

Mr. Flake, you are a traitor to the office you hold.

Flakey, the only thing you fear is that the Republicans have rejected you and you can't get re-elected because your constituents have abandoned you.

Back-stabbing the Republicans is not going to endear yourself to them, Jeff.

Clue-challenged.

principled conservatism really is = kowtowing to globalist corpratist interest , cheap labor (illegal and legal), tariff free imports while our exports are heavily taxed all over the world. Are these the principles you espouse Flakey?

Flake is lying when he says Republicans have to condone Trump's "behaviors." They don't. They need to support his major policies.

With respect to Trump's "behaviors", other Republicans need only not help Democrats blow those behaviors out of proportion. You can respond to questions with "I don't agree with that particular statement by the President" and then move on.

Virtue-signallers like Flake are despised because they are willing to sabotage important policies simply because they don't like the President's tone. And they generally compound their sanctimony by refusing to criticize Democrats whose "tone" is worse than Trump's.

I’m actually hopeful for the future of the Republican Party. With the undercover Democrats and Rhinos leaving and swamp creatures being primaried things are moving in a positive direction. Long way to go though.

If he’s not going to become a Democrat, he won’t fit in anywhere else. Otherwise, he should form his own party, the Flake Party. Then all the flakes could rally around him, and stop annoying the rest of us.

Run as a Democrat with Coons as your VP already!
