Hey @JeffFlake, tell ya what... when your votes in the Senate start matching your words & rhetoric, I'll start taking you seriously.

Flake is part of the problem not part of the solution.

But Flake still doesn't understand that the people who voted for Trump are willing deal with his unpolished and aggressive manner of communicating, and even his crudeness. They see those characteristics and feel it's more honest than the slick messaging style and disingenuousness of "traditional" political rhetoric.


This is why there will be trouble for many in' 18. Trump will be able to point to actions that back up his campaign promises and he'll be able to highlight how the GOPe obstructed his agenda. What are the GOPe types going to run on? We need more time? At least we aren't progressive Ds even though we voted with them to block Trump? We are statesmen and don't Tweet!?

Why not talk about what the country needs?
Donald Trump has no solutions and no vision. He is a fraud. Are you really too stupid to see that?
Trump pronounced that he would hire the best people. No he didn't.
Trump promised that we would have the best healthcare with lower costs. He never had a plan and had to confess that he didn't know it was so complicated.
Foreign policy is a mess with too many key positions unfilled in the State Department.
His tax plan only benefits the wealthy. He doesn't are about the middle class. None of his proposals (all one page them) make sense in terms of revenue and the deficit.
He is like a used car salesman who promises you that he can 2015 Honda Accord perform like a new BMW.
Not too mention that he is crude, vulgar and has the temperament of a toddler.
If you think we need more Trumps and few people who think we should be more bipartisan and less polarized, then you are a goddamn idiot.
If you like bellicose, belligerent bully douchebags then Trump is your guy but what does that say about you?

Who in the frick among the democrats EVER talks about "what the country needs"?

They only care about amassing power. Their supporters are as gullible and stupid as Venezuelans supporting Chavez. How'd that work out? The country does not need more "free" shite.

When the GOP and DNC both turn on you, you might be on to something.

As a conservative, I hope the GOP implodes.

Why does he keep saying "we conservatives"? He is no conservstive! Just because he's the 2nd biggest cuck Senator from his state it doesn't give him a pass to preach douchebagery as conservatism!

And the best part is that these delusional f*cks actually believe that these RINOs are conservatives.

Exactly, we don't label Manchin and Webb liberals, do we? They may be for bigger govt than us and pro union, but they have more in common with us than they do with most of their party. We can at least call something for what it is! Snow Flake & McCuck have more in common with liberals than they do Manchin and Webb.

Hyperbole much?...


Flake proves his relationship to the DNC hive mind yet again. He runs on a platform of platitudes himself (probably because we unwashed masses are too simplistic to comprehend more eh). A platform of cheap sound bytes and then does whatever his major donors ask rather than fulfill a promise.

The old adages about foxholes and stuff? When this kinda politician gets in a foxhole, fill the hole and cap it off and make the world a better place.

I'm just gonna use 2 examples of his voting record from the past month. 1. June 30 he voted to fund trannies surgeries in the military being paid for. 2. Just a week ago he voted against a straight repeal of Obamacare, which he voted for 2 years ago when he knew the president wouldn't sign the bill.

I'm sure there is. Plenty more of the Republican high-minded sanctimony and 'principled' stands and 'talk' while the Progressives ignore Rule of Law and turn this Nation into a Third World Banana Republic.

Any Republican that is not willing to get down in the mud and fight the Dems blow for blow needs to get the hell out of DC. Any Constitutional loving Republican that is not part of this mud fight 'solution', is part of the problem.

Trump should throw the kitchen sink at McCain and Flake.

These worthless fricks in Congress can't even pass a bill because they are so fricking scared.

They aren't conservatives.

And people need to call them out on their BS when they pretend to be.





They are not scared. They see themselves as shrewd. They are emboldened and are entrenched deeply into our government at every branch.

Their secret combination has positioned its people into the halls of academia, finance, and every other position of importance and power in our society for the sole purpose of One World Government.
