Funny “conservatives” like Flake don’t have any problem with the hagiography of the kenyan or “maverick” McCain. There is an incredibly obnoxious coffee table photo book by obama’s official photographer out now. Nobody was looking at the obama book at Costco when I saw it. Justin Timberlake book next to it was much more popular. Ha ha.

It’s always been about issues with Trump. Immigration, unfair trade, etc. There is much to admire about Trump’s fighting qualties but that is secondary to what got him elected.

We’re rejected the political class elites and it is driving those like Flake crazy.

As opposed to the hatred, immaturity and mobs, Jeff?

Good riddance

Hey Jeff!

Exactly WHAT do you stand for?

Trump Derangement Syndrome?

It is THE ONLY point of consistency from Flake!

“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.”

That kind of make-believe reasoning is a good index to explain his idiocy.

Reporters were laughing at Flake at Trump’s presser. Nobody respects a Quisling.

Are you telling me that stupid flake has already been picked up by CNN to fill the ‘Republican who hates Trump’ slot? It’s the only kind of Republican they run on MSNBC too.

I wish FOX would find some democrats who hate democrats and try to pawn them off as ‘typical’... like the bullsh*t liars on the liberal networks.

Trump’s agenda is remarkably substantive, regardless of this talking point that keeps surfacting.

McSally will be more like Flake & McCain than she will be like Ted Cruz.

Don't confuse admiration for appreciation, Mr.Flake. You lied, cheated, failed to do as you promised, carried out sedition, feathered special nests for special people, all long enough.

Flake confuses our absolute disgust of such politicians with a cult like appreciation of an honest one?

White RINO guilt showing much?

We’be been called ignorant hayseeds, hicks, racists, Deplorables, Nazis, fascists and cult followers. The Deep State can call us whatever they want. We’re trying to save the country from them!

This guy and Corker, and Ryan, and all the rest of them.

Just think if Trump had some backing.

I’ve always said, if Trump was an INdependent or even registered Democrat, his approval ratings would be in the 90s.

Amazing how much he gets done with all the 24/7 negative press and pompous @sshats like this guy.

The Gang of 8 was the biggest thing in my life time to make me really reappraise things. It made me realize that the people are running the GOP would sell the rope to their own hanging. We have become a party that accomplishes nothing unless it benefits the donor class. I have rethought every thing about our role with the corporate interests who slander us with their media and then turn around and take our jobs and our money. We have nothing to show for conservative values except tax cuts for them and they responds by going liberal or at least rino. No more!

No she won’t. Trump campaigned for her.

Jeff, just wanted to give you a word of advice. You’re not going to be an important person in less than 2 months. Knowing that, virtually no one in the general public gives a rat’s ass what you think about anything. This is what is known as being a “lame duck.” The best advice for a lame duck generally is to be quiet. Try doing that for a while.

Had he run, his seat would be D today.

Has Enema the commie conceded? Who knows; it might still be.
