And that’s really the purpose of being president right? Not getting any legislation passed.

What are Flake and Corker running from?



Flake was already polling really bad, both in the R primary and general election polls. He was likely to lose, so I guess he wanted to go out on his terms.

Not sure on Corker. I get the sense he was well liked in Tennessee. Guess he just didn't want to deal with Trump anymore.

You think if Collins is gone you’re going to get a R in her place?

This is about taking our party and our government back for decades to come.

Wouldn't give him the credit though. We've been working on primary challengers in AZ for our frickup senators for a while.

Or he has an insider trading scandal possibly brewing up and wanted to keep that as much low profile as he can even if it means giving up his senate seat.

Oh and Trump having a base that was going to primary him didn't help things too.

Moron.

You eliminate the people that won't pass you're legislation. The people voted and spoken, we have elected officials ignoring the will of the people.

Trump deserves at least partial credit.

Flake was already teetering on the cliff and Trump just pushed him over.

You need to make sure Ward is not the nominee though as Arizona is too purple for my liking.

Trump only won that state by 5%.

Learn how to spell “your” before calling anyone a moron. And Flake has done nothing to hold up legislation. You cultists dislike him only because he spoke out against T.

I'm told recent internals had his GOP favorables in the teens.
In addition, he may well be under indictment this time next year.

Corker has real estate scandals that have been bubbling for a while. Regardless of that investigation’s outcome you know he would get a ton of MSM negative publicity over it to help kill his chances.

The party would have blown a ton of money to drag him over the finish line if he ran and it would have cost them other seats between funds not available elsewhere and the corruption concerns around him.

Flake didn't learn the 1st political rule, which is " if you are gong to kill the king, better have a good sword.
