I suggest it's a lot like a person living sixty years of law-abiding behavior and then killing just one neighbor.

So what if Flake USED to have a 98% conservative rating, once you sell out, it's over. We were all told repeatedly that Comey and Mueller were above reproach, non-partisan, stellar reputations, no question of them being trustworthy, how long ago was that the case, if ever

Flake has been an outright RINO for some time so the people of Arizona are ready to try somebody (anybody) else. I am sure that Trump not going for Flake and for Ward is what drove the RINO out of the Senate. The poor sumb...... needed to get out, anyway.

Flake was on the wrong side of votes most of the time but he drew the line at collaborating with Nazis and the other subhuman underbelly making up the base of Trumps support. He did what any patriotic American should he pointed out the incompetent vulgar traitorous elephant in the room, we need more republicans with spines and morals but obviously both are lacking in the party.

Could Flake have become a Democrat so he wouldn't have to fight Ward in the primary? Well sure as hell he could have and all those GOP people who have come to see what he actually is couldn't have voted against him in the primary.

Open your eyes, Kev.

Here's his voting record. But he is illogically anti-Trump and thus, unpopular. But look at his voting record. And yes, he's quiting because he can't win that election.

Not only could Flake had become what he has come to be-- more democrat/socialist than republican/conservative- but had he glomed onto the democrat/socialist party he could also have easily slid right into bed with the true fascists attacking the USA today. The guy needs to "self-identify".

The think the really soured me on Flake was him going on TV to defend open borders. He said his family always employed illegals on their range and he liked the illegals. Therefore he wants open borders and no fence. That was enough for me "Go Dr. Kelly Ward".

Sure, Kelli Ward might win, why wouldn't the Republican Party attempt to take some Democratic seats instead, is she's a sure thing.

Flake was not a Trump supporter, Ward is..

Last I saw Ward lead by some 15~ 18% over Flake....The state has traditionally gone Republican in presidential elections and carried the majority for general offices too..

I think more important than party there is a theme forming of anti establishment persons than a party line call??

I don’t know DB but it seems practical in what I’ve been reading of these people coming up for elections???

I don’t consider her a shoe in by any means...As a matter of fact I’m not sure she’s the right candidate over Flake.. I don’t appreciate Flakes sanctuary beliefs or his illegals Allen position when he has one that is.. He did vote to repeal the ACA which I agree with but heck DB I’m in Colorado and that’s enough for me to concentrate on..
