Thread: Jeff Flake Admits GOP Establishment Working Against Trump’s Popular Immigration Agend

Senator Flake has no problem getting up in the president's face and pushing all the buttons to aggravate, anger, shame him. I think he could be successful. Vice President Pence made the promise to Flake to act on DACA and we know that he is all for amnesty, too.

It was McConnell who made a light promise that if there are enough votes to pass a DACA bill by the end of January, he will call for the vote on DACA". Pence doesn't call for the votes, McConnell does that, so I think that was misreported that Pence promised it.

Yeah, you're right about Flake wanting to get in Trump's face, and I really don't understand it. All these people that want to try to "take on" Trump, just lose. It's kind of pathetic watching it, you know?

Whoever did the deal with Senator Flake, it was done. And he detests President Trump. Senator Flake's contempt for the president will spur him on to make the president feel heartless about breaking up families, destroying these valuable young people's lives, use the father/grandfather line, give him the condescending looks and ridicule him more if necessary.

Those who want amnesty in the room will be less brave to speak to the president in such a frank manner but they will be cheering Flake on.

Yeah, it was Mc Connell. And yes, he'll call him all types of terrible things, Trump won't care. Trump wants what he wants and I don't think he's budging, because I don't think he wants to do this dumb deal. The whole dumb deal idea was proposed by CIS and FAIR.

DACA Fix must be now before March. There is not time for the list sent over by President. It is not amnesty. These DACA kids were brought here by parents. Amnesty is a highly charged word. President asked for 1.6 billion dollars for border. That is about 74 miles of fence. We will negotiate on more later. Fencing is what there will be on the border. Mexico will not pay for it.

The things on the list will be debated later in the year when we do "Comprehensive Immigration Reform."

So glad he's leaving the Senate.
