Flake rebuts Trump: US doesn't have a 'sick' or 'rigged' system
The Hill ^ | 12/8/17 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 12/09/2017 3:02:24 AM PST by x1stcav

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) chided President Trump in a tweet Friday night after the president asserted that the U.S. has a "rigged system."

"This is not a sick system, Mr. President, nor is it a rigged system. Let's not sow distrust in our democratic institutions," Flake tweeted.

It is a corrupt, sick system; it's obvious, and the backwards assclown Flake can go to Hell.

I saw Jeff Flake in Arizona when he was running for the Senate. It was obvious that McCain was guiding him, and had become his “Mentor”.

Flake has been completely corrupted by McCain and the rest of the D.C. establishment, IMHO.

just resting there on the tracks

He and many of his fellow travelers jumped the tracks a long time ago.

So Flake thinks Trump should come to the realization that Fusion-GPS was right and he really did hire Russian prostitutes to pee on a bed used by Barry and Michelle? Oh, okay....

It is pitiful in a way. Flake has been polled into not running but persists in his losing ways

Flake isn’t

No, he just merely took a look at his polling data that indicated he was as popular as genital warts in the GOP primary and decided not to run again.

Never since Mayor Grafton (a Three Stooges character) has a politician had so appropriate a name.

Not blackmail, the Trump twitter affect. He shinned the light on this fake conservative and illegal immigration supporter. The polls that followed were a wake up call to the electorate. He decided to not run again after being outed. If we relied on the Turtle to run him out, he would be back, reelected, again. The value of Trump and his ability to root out the rot cannot be overestimated.

“Let’s not sow distrust in our democratic institutions,”

Yeah, I had complete and full faith in all of our governmental institutions until I started reading Trump's tweets. Now I am completely disillusioned, all thanks to PDJT.

/ bitter sarc

Flake needs to resign now. He's clearly an out of touch elitist RINO if he doesn't get that 9/10ths of Americans ALREADY distrust the government. Trump's just echoing what every sane person is thinking.

Not every institution is sick. However, the FBI has run amok and should be shuttered.

Two questions for you Jeffy Snowflake:

Who paid for the Trump Dossier and was it used to get a FISA warrant to spy on the Republican Nominee for President?

Now go flake yourself!

I personally think lil Jeffry Snowflake is working on his resume for a CNN anchor job.

“Sounds like Jeff is afraid of coming prosecution or exposure for wrong doing.”

Flake is auditioning for an ongoing assignment as a “conservative” commentator on CNN, MSNBC and the Sunday talk shows. McCain will soon be fading from the scene and Flake wants to be his successor as go to backstabber commentator.

He is completely right, Hillary was indicted and found not-guilty by a jury of her peers.

In America there is no favoritism, if there is evidence you committed a crime, you will have your day in court like everyone else.
