Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., facing a tough primary fight, announced Tuesday he will not seek re-election next year -- while taking a parting shot on the Senate floor at President Donald Trump for behavior he called "reckless, outrageous, and undignified." Without mentioning the president by name, Flake accused the Republican Party of having "given in or given up on the core principles in favor of a more viscerally satisfying anger and resentment ... but anger and resentment are not a governing philosophy." Flake has had a tumultuous relationship with the Trump administration. In August, he criticized the president's immigration policy in a New York Times opinion piece. The president tweeted in response that Flake was "WEAK on borders, crime and a non-factor in the Senate."

Flake has been good about voting down things that cost money, even if he was only one of a couple of votes. On the other hand, the past year he has gotten kind of rino-ish. So it looks like he sold out to the establishment. I can see the democrats in my state foaming at the mouth to get his seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he and McCain ever vote differently? Blessings, -Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed that closely. Flake voted differently than mccain did many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was announced a few days ago that another republican would run against flake. Perhaps in the interests of unity, flake opted out or figured he would be slaughtered in the election. His gop opponent is a favorite of trump. Unity among the gop would mean no dem opponent would win. And he keeps his election record clean so he could run for some other washington office, congressman for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
