AZ Sen. Jeff Flake unloads on Trump, GOP

Post by Mori Chu »

The GOP Senators and Congressmen are starting to break ranks, one by one. First Collins, Murkowski, and McCain step up to stop the health care repeal. Now Flake comes out with an article and book savaging the rise of Trump and the GOP's denial and complicity in allowing it to happen.

He may talk tough to promote his book, but his voting record is what matters.

It is true. Words are wind. I'm glad some people from POTUS45's own party are starting to be willing to come out against him, though. It's something. The words in that article are pretty strong.

Agreed. But they are there to sell a book. And Trump has already come out against Flake pretty hard, saying he is one of the senators they plan to "primary" next time around. So he either had to bend over and start kissing boots pretty hard, or come out as a dissenting voice, as you can't play the middle ground here.

All in all, what he says has a lot of merit. Now let's see him put his votes where he is putting his voice.
