must admit that Tuesday’s election was a bit odd for me. For the first time in nearly two decades, I spent it as a spectator rather than a participant. In ordinary times, I would have missed the push and pull, the spirited debates about the size and scope of government. I was content to sit this one out.
After all the machinations, the conventional wisdom held. The House will now be under Democratic control while Republicans will maintain the majority in the Senate. We are under divided government again, the type of government that, in my opinion, usually delivers the best results, because it forces the parties to work together.
The big question for Republicans is whether we believe in anything that is in any way coherent, beyond the current cult of the president’s personality. What is the Republican Party today, and what kind of party do we want to be in the future?

Better yet…we have moved on from anti-Trumpers such as Flake.
What a complete dumb*ass.
Hey Flake become a journalist or tv news reader.
Your abilities and IQ are a total match.
What is the Republican Party today, and what kind of party do we want to be in the future?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I want it to be the kind that does not include you. Bye.
Have fun doing your John Kerry impersonation somewhere else, Jeff.
UniParty hack....always has been.
and he’s a moronic idiot.
Just go away, Flake...you’re NOT wanted.
Says no-personality Flake
“I was content to sit this one out. “
He reminds me of the ‘crew’ in WAG THE DOG who are working behind the scenes to manipulate the voting public, and yet they admit that none of them ever bother to vote.
Jeffy. Don’t go away mad. Just GO AWAY! Please. You’re a scumbag and Americans are tire of your BS.
Yes, we should listen to the wisdom of a senator who did not even seek re-election because he was so unpopular. There is no cult of Trump”s personally. Few of us would want him as a role model for our chlildren. We elected him because, unlike Flake, Trump is effective in improving the country.
Do some math here, Jeff. It's now a Trump Senate. Picking up 3-4 seats with allies negates Merkowski and Collins and Flake and Corker.
Yep, CNN and or MSNBC seem to be in his view of his future, Joining fake Republicans like Joe Scarborough
What a limp, weak, bipartisan toad he is!
What a REAL GOPer SHOULD say is they want big GOP majorities to enact the kind of policies that he thinks will make the country better.
Not Flake, though. “Divided government gives the best solutions” Blech.
Good riddance and get lost, clown.
What he really means is we have to move beyond a Republic with the rule of law.
Flake, like all Bush League Republicans, wants the borders open and the laws unenforced so that fraudulently documented foreigners can be used to steal our country from US.
No, I don't think so.
It's so funny to me that he was born in Snowflake, Arizona. Just perfect!
He was forced to retire because he had a 16% approval rating in his state.
Had he run, his seat would be D today.
The big question for Republicans is whether we believe in anything that is in any way coherent ...
The challenge for the GOP is two-fold:
1. Their constituent groups are so varied is that it's hard to have a coherent agenda.
2. I disagree with their stands on some of the major issues that they DO consider "coherent" to the point where they put it in their national platform (open borders and "free trade," for example).
Is this statement the result of another “encounter” in an elevator, Jeffie?
