I'm willing to separate these two things here and give Corker and Flake some credit regardless. I don't expect them to not support the GOP party line bullshit. That doesn't diminish their speaking out in the manner that they have. It's really two different things. I think we should be lauding these guys for calling the President out on his bullshit in a manner that the rest of their party is not. yes, lets laud their worthless platitudes while ignoring all of the meaningful actions they failed to take, because its personality over policy every damn time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is McConnell going to show some spine? Or Ryan? It's not worthless to point out just how unbalanced this POTUS is. Especially when you reside on his side of the aisle.

I don't laud GOP members for finally saying what they've thought privately publicly once the reelection incentive is negated. That just makes sense. I suppose in that regard Flake does deserve some kudos - because his speaking out against Trump is what made reelection impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I don't know, it gives me hope. If Mueller can deliver the goods, MAYBE, just maybe these worms will have the sack to act on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Yeah but this isn't about unseating Jeff Flake. That's going to happen regardless. Maybe save the vitriol for the GOP frontrunner for that seat? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 The job of the DNC is to take a partisan stance on any and everything. That's all the statement is. It also happens to be almost entirely accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I get it, Jeff Flake is at the end of the day a piece of shit that is willing to sell the American consumer up the river. This doesn't change any of that.
