Right, because nobody in America has stood up to Trump. Apparently GOPe only lose graciously to Dems.

Figures that FLAKE would use Joe McCarthy in his Swan song. Ann Coulter makes it crystal clear McCarthy was a true patriot and a great guy.

Protecting the swamp is not principled or heroic. It is craven.

What drives the NeverTrumpers is trying to protect their 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders with the goal of changing the demographics of the country.

George H W Bush, instead of implementing the enforcement measures of the 1986 amnesty that were to prevent the need of another, set in motion the illegal alien inundation that now numbers over 30 million.

The illegal alien inundation was intentional.

They invited those people here against our will and they do not want us restoring the rule of law and sending them home.

Trump broke through the Bush blockade of only nominating amnesty candidates that kept us from stopping the Cheap Labor Express.

NeverTrump is really NeverSovereignty.

The purpose of the illegal alien inundation is to dilute American citizens votes so they can institute their new world order.
US and our freedoms stand in their way.

Too bad he’s staying til the end of his term (2019). My theory is, esp. with McCain checking out soon, Flake wants to stick around and do as much damage as possible.

>>And then, in words that today echo from his time to ours, Welch delivered the coup de grace: “You’ve done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”

And with our 20/20 hindsight, we know that McCarthy was right and the government was rotten with communist traitors. So, Welch was like any modern snowflake, whining that people were being too harsh when calling out traitors who would simply be hanged in earlier times.

This petulant fool calling President Trump childish sounds like projection if I’m correct. Our nation will be better off without him in DC.

Trump is the ELECTED President of the United States, and he’s doing what the PEOPLE wanted him to do. Time to flush Washington once and for all.

Jeff Flake was polling at around 18% as recently as a few days ago. Does he really expect anyone to believe that it’s Donald Trump’s fault that he’s less popular than the ebola virus among his constituents?

It was the very communists that McCarthy was fighting who led the anti-McCarthy “witch hunt” disinformation campaign.

He quit his race and he’s lecturing people to stand up to Trump.

And it is quite telling that he accepts and promulgates the Communist/liberal argument.

>>Wasn’t McCarthy proven right in the end? At least partially? Is this really a great example for Flake to use?

The Prog spin on this is that McCarthy was unfairly calling out communists just for being communists.....and there’s nothing wrong with communism.
