    Those guys are bitter old white men who have their jobs taken away by Trump and his ability to influence voters.

    I'd be really suspicious about what they have to say. They might be auditioning for a nomination for office by the democrats.

    I see no actual plan or text of any proposed amendment.

    If the plan is to allow Hillary to take over all the money (like she did with the DNC), then it's not going to be free and fair elections.

    That's a "for example" point, not a means to change the subject. If the plan allows Trump or the next republican to control the election process, we're all fucked.

    Yes, anyone who speaks out against President Cheeto is doing it because they secretly want to be a democrat.

    Poll shows Flake down huge in primary and general election

    A new poll shows Sen.Jeff Flake(R-Ariz.) down by huge numbers among Arizona Republicans and trailing his opponents in both the GOP primary and general elections.

    Flake scored only a 25 percent favorability rating among Republican primary voters in anew pollby the left-leaning GBA Strategies group, with a 56 percent unfavorable rating. Over half of voters disapprove of the job Flake is doing, with 59 percent disapproving and only 34 percent approving.

    He got out after seeing the polls. The polls are a direct result of his war with Trump, for good or bad.

    Sheesh.

    You're actually proving my point. You seem to love the guy, so he might even get your vote as a democrat. If you could vote for him, that is.

    Stupid post.

    Bottom line:

    When politicians don't have a primary to worry about, they can act with their heart. They can stand on principle. The idiocy of this is that Flake has voted 100% lock step with Donald.

    So it's bullshit Denny.

    Bottom line, you're making it up as you go :)

    Again, the facts are what they are.

    This is before he decided to not embarrass himself by losing his seat.

    Arizona Sen. Flake’s vulnerability feeds GOP Senate concerns

    After bucking Donald Trump in a state the president won, Flake is bottoming out in polls. Yet Republicans look like they may be stuck with a hard-core conservative challenger who some fear could win the primary but lose in the general election.

    A White House search for a candidate to replace former state Sen. Kelli Ward in the primary appears to have hit a wall. And now conservatives want to turn Arizona into the latest example of a Trump Train outsider taking down a member of the GOP establishment.

    “People are fooling themselves if they think Jeff Flake is anything but a walking dead member of the United State Senate,” said Andy Surabian, whose Great America Alliance is backing Ward.

    “I don’t see how he survives a primary. I don’t see how he survives a general. The numbers just don’t add up,” added Surabian, who worked at the White House as an adviser to Steve Bannon, then the president’s top strategist.

    Despite discontent among some Republicans over Ward, Bannon met with her last week at a conservative conference in Colorado Springs to encourage her campaign, according to a Republican official who spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose the previously unreported private meeting.

    Ward unsuccessfully challenged Arizona’s senior senator, John McCain, in last year’s election, losing in the primary by a wide margin. But in Flake, she would face a more vulnerable candidate at a moment when the GOP establishment is on the defensive, facing a simmering anti-incumbent mood heightened by Republicans’ failure to make good on seven years of promises to scrap Barack Obama’s health care law.

    Flake is in danger of becoming the latest victim of this voter wrath. Yet rather than making an effort to soothe pro-Trump GOP voters, he’s all but dared them to take him down by kicking off his campaign with an anti-Trump manifesto, “Conscience of a Conservative,” a book in which he bemoaned his party’s failure to stand up to Trump in last year’s presidential race.


    Nevertheless, Flake, 54, insists he won’t be getting out of the race. The primary is Aug. 29.

    You're missing the point. The reason for him getting out matters not. What matters is when politicians don't have to worry about a primary, they can act on principle.

    The reason matters entirely.

    He misjudged his ability to win by going after Trump. He expected voters like you to support him.

    If in order to win you have to suck Cheeto cock I would quit too.

    The dems sold their souls to try and get Hillary elected. Now they look like idiots. Their party is in disarray.

    If standing up for what you believe in means you won't get elected that isn't a bad thing.

    I would love if somehow the populous rebelled against the party system entirely.
