These stupid globalists like Corker, Flake and McCain are SWAMP CREATURES, sore losers unfit to be in the US Senate, let alone on Republican ballots. They are the ones who have opened our borders, pushed this free trade treason crap down our throats, and put tens of millions of Americans in the poor house and in the soup lines, flooded our nation with tens of millions of illegal aliens signing up for welfare, stealing our jobs, and robbing our coffers running our debt up to over $20 trillion while shuffling 70,000 manufacturing operations offshore under the false banner of "free trade" treason.

These people suck and are truly evil for what they have done to our country with their treasonous platforms of pro-free trade and pro-immigration policies.

They are disgusting low-life pond scum and that's putting it politely.

So nice being with Republican Senators today. Multiple standing ovations! Most are great people who want big Tax Cuts and success for U.S.

Corker and Flake need to review some YouTube videos of the primary debates and realize they've stepped into their own mess. There is no way of beating this President. He's smarter than you are, he's tougher than you are, he's more loyal to the people than you are, he's more accomplished than you are, and yes, he's a far better person than you are. LOSERS!!!! Bing! Bing! Bing!

Not one critical word by Flake of the Dems' obstructionism, biased press. Speech could have been delivered by Obama or Pelosi.

Flake was for the disastrous Trans Pacific Partnership, NAFTA, open immig, blanket amnesty--and had Hillary won, he'd be happy today.

Both Flake and Corker should do the right thing and resign, allowing for an appointment by their Republican Governors. Their voices are worse than listening to nails scratching on the black board. They deplete the energy one needs to watch the news. They create a phony divide, and lie to the press. While they're both claiming out in the halls or in an empty Senate Chamber that President Trump is either unfit or debasing the nation, the rest of the Republican Senators are giving him standing ovations at the Senate Republican Caucus Luncheon.

They're obstructionists, DemoQuack Globalists who ran on the Republican ballot to win in a Red State. They deceived the voters into believing they were something they weren't.

Paul Ryan ‘Saddened’ by ‘Friend’ Jeff Flake’s Decision Not to Seek Re-Election

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan mourned Sen. Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) decision not to seek re-election, describing his retirement as a loss for “the greater cause of conservatism.”

“I’m saddened Congress is losing my friend Jeff Flake. Throughout his career in public service, Jeff has been a champion of constitutional, limited government and a trailblazer for fiscal restraint,” Ryan said in a statement.
“He as much as anyone helped to end a corrosive earmarking process that enabled runaway spending. Jeff’s retirement is a loss to the Senate and the greater cause of conservatism. I wish him well as he continues to advocate for our principles outside of government.”


Ryan and Flake were natural allies in Congress, both championing the causes of unrestrained free trade and presiding over unprecedented levels of illegal immigration, as well as critics of the Trump agenda.
Flake said in announcing his retirement:

It is clear at this moment that a traditional conservative, who believes in limited government and free markets, devoted to free trade, pro-immigration, has a narrower and narrower path to nomination in the Republican party. I rise today with no small measure of regret. Regret because of the state of our disunion, regret because of the disrepair and destructiveness of our politics.”

Flake was part of the “Gang of Eight” that proposed the 2013 immigration bill seeking to provide amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, alongside the likes of Sens. Marco Rubio, John McCain, and Lindsey Graham.

“It’s very hard for me to add to the eloquence of my dear friend from Arizona,” McCain said after the decision was announced. “But I do want to say that it has been one of the great honors of my life to serve with a man of integrity, honor, decency, and commitment to not only Arizona but to the United States of America.”

These two men have contributed to the sadness of millions of Americans in their social justice stances on illegal immigration. They have preferred and sought to represent foreign citizens over Anerican citizens they were elected to represent.

Oh PUKE on Paul Ryan, they're both pro-immigration and pro-free trade traitors. Yeah, I bet Ryan will miss Flake. The Congress is getting lonely for people like Paul Ryan and it's going to get even lonelier in 2018.

Ingraham: If Flake Departure Bothers GOP, It Should Pass Bills People Like

Conservative radio talk show host Laura Ingraham has little sympathy for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other mainstream Republicans who are lamenting the loss of Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake.



Appearing Tuesday on Newsmax TV's "The Howie Carr Show," Ingraham said that if Flake's announcement that he won't seek re-election gives Republicans fear they'll lose the seat to a Democrat, it's their own fault.



"Maybe they should've thought of that before they advocated for open borders and the Trans-Pacific Partnership," she said. "Maybe they should start thinking about passing legislation and pushing policies that are actually popular with the people and then they won't run into this trouble."





Ingraham told Carr she has no doubt Flake would have lost anyway had he stood for re-election.



"He was already down double digits," she said, adding that she attended a rally last week for Kelli Ward, who intended to challenge Flake in the GOP primary.



"It was packed out, maxed out," Ingraham said. "There was so much excitement."



Ward will face a challenge in the general election and will have to "up her game," Ingraham said, but added it isn't written anywhere that incumbents can stay as long as they want.



"It's like the people want change. They want something different," she said. "Mitch McConnell can moan all the wants, but look in the mirror, Mitch. Look in the mirror. What did you do for the people of the last how many years?"

Heard someone say today that he was probably told to do this partly because he would not the financial backing to run again. Thought that made sense.
