It seems that republicans like Flake find it unfair that Trumps popularity among republicans is hindering them from being honest politicians, yet we count on their honesty so we can v**e them out if they don't see eye to eye with those who elected them. They either need to change to a different party or take their chances at the b****t box, because this is how democratic e******ns and governments operate. I would gladly v**e against him if he were to openly oppose the president because I am a v**er and that is what I would be v****g for. I want senators and congressmen who are supportive of my choice for president. I don't want senators or congressmen who would facilitate the ushering in of socialism and other l*****t democratic ideals.

So, my message to Flake is that you are damn right. If you oppose Trump it could very likely cost you your job.

You are absolutely right!

I'm just glad he's out of there now because he would no doubt v**e against everything Trump wanted. He was right up there with McCain, and would be right behind Mitt if he still had a seat in Congress.

He chose not to run for re-e******n in 2018 ... because he was probably not going to win after having expressed his opposition to Trump. That's what he's bellyaching about. It simply exposes his own t***h .... that he wants to be a Senator so he can have power and influence and to write and v**e for legislation according to Flake's preferences .... not to represent his constituency. He's upset because they don't agree with him. Imagine that. Who even cares what he says or thinks now? He's just a has been ... and Trump is the President and will be for the next five years.

Well stated and a very good, accurate assessment. For Flakes and others like him, it's about them, not representing their constituents. They have obviously forgotten that!

Flake is an example of a politician who prioritizes his prominence and legacy over the will of his constituents.

This is exactly what’s been bothering me. How many Romneys will v**e against our Working President. I’m hopeful that enough Democrats will see the error of the direction their party has taken to override the RINOS in the Senate. Harry Reid is a Mormon, Romney is a Mormon. Makes one wonder!

In other words they lie to the v**ers to get elected. It's sick and it's wrong.

Exactly right. Too many of these guys who think they know better than the v**ers what the v**ers want or need.

They say we are to write and tell our Congresspersons how we want them to v**e on the issues !

Thanks for letting me know your thoughts and since you know nothing about these things I cannot care what you think I will v**e as I see fit !

And I think they have noticed. I don't like it that the media is giving him air time but he reinforces what we are saying.

Same here in MO with that hag mccask**l ... so happy she got booted out by Josh Hawley ..... she refused to make any kind of commitment, and every response on every controversial issue was that she was "still gathering information" ... no kidding .. same phrase over and over .... right up to the time of the v**e and then she would most often v**e with her party and not with the people of MO. So she is gone, gone, gone ....
