Senator Flake, a Republican, Explains Why He Didn’t Vote for Trump

It seems safe to say that Senator Jeff Flake’s new anti-Trump book is politically contraindicated. His approval ratings in his home state, Arizona, are so low they are somewhere down in a missile silo; according to Politico, the president has privately said he would spend $10 million in the Republican primary to whisk Flake out of the Senate with a broom.
Then again, maybe this is what a man who’s facing political expiration does: speaks his mind, goes for broke. Or perhaps he’s simply fed up. Flake was one of the few Never Trumpers in Congress to remain so right through Election Day.

Flake’s hardly a “top” Republican...more like a globalist RINO masquerading as conservative.

Yes, he can. He’s weaker than McTurd, though has a strong Mormon base.

I just got a response letter from him-—nothing burger, after I chastized him for not supporting Trump. “I will support him when I can, yada yada, but must criticize . . .”

Doofus. These people are just horrible people.

Arizona has open primaries for all elections except Presidential primaries. So Dems can vote for GOP senators and Reps.

Flake is the Pinnacle RINO Senator?

There are many viable candidates and The Flake doesn't seem the worst of the worst to me.

Not completely open. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians have to vote in their respective party’s primary. Independents can choose which ballot they want.

I’ve been a precinct committeeman for almost 20 years. I know the rules.
