Trump doesn’t really have an agenda. He changes his mind constantly, and has no idea what is in the bills Congress passes.
Flake is a Republican, so he is going to vote like a Republican. He doesn’t want to piss off the Party, even if he’s not running for re-election. I’ll give him credit for calling out Trump, even if he’s not perfect. Who among us is?
Arizona here. I sent home a message today giving him praise for his statements today and I did so in his previous stump speech but I also called him on his voting record. I’m trying to give him his positive reinforcement. He does suffer from McCain syndrome.
I’m not convinced. I think once the serious polls start coming out in 2020, showing a landslide for the Dems, there would be no reason to continue full tilt. This assumes the Dems take the House in 2018, and poll well to take the Senate in 2020. At some point, even the most devoted GOP politicians will have to admit that Trump is destroying the party. (This doesn’t mean his base will abandon him-they don’t care about the GOP.)
