Jeff Flake

Never Waste A Serious Crisis by Nancy OhanianFormer Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) couldn't stand Trump-- and retired from the Senate because of him-- but was always a die-hard, full-bore conservative and never any kind of moderate. He'll do something many conservative Republicans plan to do: voted for a conservative Democrat for the first time in their lives. On core issues, he has no real problems with Biden. Besides, he told the Washington Post's K.K.

This morning, on CBS This Morning, former Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) said of Señor Trumpanzee: "He'll either be gone by this time next year or four years from now. Then what happens to the Republican Party?

Congressional Terrorist by Nancy OhanianOver the weekend Trump TV reported that "Fox News has learned that the Pentagon, State Department and National Security Council were 'unanimous' in supporting the aid to Ukraine, and that Trump acted alone in withholding the aid over the summer."

When The Arizona Republican Party first selected Flake as its candidate for the open U.S. Senate seat in 2012, he had already served 6 terms (12 years) in Congress. Before that he had been executive director the the Barry Goldwater Institute. His credentials as an extreme right-wing kook-- with a libertarian bent-- could not be challenged. His first primary was against 4 conservatives, although Flake was by far the most conservative. In the House he was a bit of a pest to establishment Republicans as he fought to end earmarks and special interest corruption.

Consider the possibility that this is all a pre-planned script whereby Jeff Flake is depicted as the Honest Principled Man who ultimately gives everyone else cover to vote for Kavanaugh https://t.co/IqL3b020mh— David Sirota (@davidsirota) September 30, 2018

Did Judge Kavanaugh take out his dick and wiggle it in Lindsey Graham's face? Or is Lindsey auditioning for the Attorney General job when Trump fires Jeff Sessions after the midterms? Raise your hand if you can't envision Lindsey derailing the Mueller investigation.

Even some of the elite Republicans who actually liked Trump have started to rethink themselves... some, not lots. But Republican voters? Brain-dead or brainwashed or both. And they love him.

Ummmm by Nancy OhanianIf you're from Wisconsin you probably know Charlie Sykes as the voice of conservative Republicans between 1993 and the rise of Trumpism. He left Milwaukee's WTMJ is 2016. More recently he wrote the book How The Right Lost Its Mind.
