I agree with your statement. “Seems more like Trump is taunting him to vote “For” the bill. Afterall, wouldn’t a “No” vote make Trump’s statement correct? And we know how much these Never-Trumpers hate it when The Donald is right.”
Flake hasn’t been doing what is right for a long time. I knew he was a sell out when he started playing basketball with Obama.
Thanks Kaslin.

Flake was a Cheap Labor Express stooge in the House before he got to the Senate and so is the GOPe preferred candidate for his seat, Martha McSally.
Might as well go back to playing the "wink-wink" game with Iran and the NORKs too if he decides to stay silent against a POS like Flake....
As I recall, Flake has supported Trump’s agenda. He has voted for all Trump’s judges, and I have not heard him say negative things about the tax cut.
Flake was a good congressman. He was a reliable conservative, and has been in the Senate. Except for his extreme anti- Trump stance, have no problem with him. But he really has screwed himself by painting himself into a political corner where he has no support from any side.
Flake made it clear with his “With the Trump/Moore faction, the Party is toast”....Being on the way out, he has no reason to do what’s right - hope he proves you right and me wrong but won’t hold my breath...
I agree. Flake has been a solid performer for conservatives. He made the unforgivable sin of criticizing the behavior and personality of Trump however and that turned the vicious mobs against him.
Honestly, I’m really confused by the republicans nowadays. It seems to be more of a cult of personality than an avenue to get conservative legislation passed. Take this latest tax bill. It is going to raise taxes on millions of people But yet there are many many conservatives who want it passed just because they want to get a win. But is it a win if it does the exact opposite of what your party professes to stand for?
Tribalism is for emotionally stunted idiots but yet it seems to be what modern politics is, unfortunately. I really wish we get back to talking about the issues instead of personalities.
