I loved Senator Flake's speech today. He gives me hope!

He'd be lucky to get 15% of the vote in 2020 (assuming he'd run as an independent and be up against a Dem and Donald. Admittedly a big assumption, Donald should be dead or in jail by then!)

I don't like it. It looks like the ones who are speaking out are giving up instead of fighting back.

It also shows that you can't really speak your mind unless you have nothing to lose.

The more flakes like this that quit
the better. There is a really good
guy running in his place.

It's hard to say this far out. Remember in 2007 when campaign season kicked off, the assumption was for a Clinton vs Giuliani showdown in 2008.

I agree with the second part of your premise. As to the first, I still don't see an independent winning the presidency. He should run on the GOP primaries.

"A really good guy running in his place."

Huh?

The only other GOP candidate running for his seat so far is a woman, and she's batshit crazy.

Totally agree. Guy seems to be embarrassed by his party base. Can he take McCain with him?

“Today the Trump movement collected the scalp of America’s number one Never Trumper. Jeff Flake represents everything that is wrong with Mitch McConnell’s failed vision of the Republican Party. President Trump’s America First movement is on a winning streak now that Jeff Flake has been left on the ash heaps of political history alongside Luther Strange and Bob Corker."

Today was a great day for Trump and the GOP..

Saw last night that he was probably going to lose his primary in a wipeout. These establishment types a year later still do not understand why Trump not only won the general but knocked off 18 of their own along the way. They really would rather have their country club and lose than win and get a conservative agenda done.
