    Jeff Flake

    What an awesome speech today! That is the type of statesmanship we have been missing for so long. It is a shame that our political leaders have to wait until they are no longer running for office to stand on principle and not give into the demogoguery that has dominated the establishment and its pretend-foil.

    Good riddance. He's just pissed off because he knows his political carreer is finished. His embracing of the establishment did him in. Stay tuned. There will be many other Rino's that hit the road as President Trump drains the swamp.

    Didn’t sound pissed off - just concerned. And free to call it as he sees it without having to appeal to a Republican base that appears to be more influenced by their hate for others.

    A conservative Republican will most likely replace him.

    You never called me a liberal until I opposed a lifelong democrat for the Presidency!

    I did not vote for him (or at all) because I was afraid he would govern as a democrat. Instead, he is governing as the most conservative president since Reagan.

    I would certainly vote for him today.

    Depending on how you define "govern" and "conservative".

    He'll be a net loss for conservativism because he's only capable of affecting one side of the swamp. With the fractured GOP that is already resulting from his presidency, the lock-step Dems will impose their will unchecked.

    Enjoy the bully pulpit while you got because with the way he's using it, the R's won't have it again for a LONG time. But hey, we got some great tweets right?!

    This describes the last 20 years.

    Republicans have talked a good game, but done nothing. When given the podium in both houses by the Tea Party, they joined forces with Obama and the dems to ridicule and minimize them.

    It was the repubs that created all of this, because they did not represent the people that elected them while the dems did. If they never get the bully pulpit again, that is fine with me. At least the dems kiss me first.

    I don't know your situation, but my kids are going to have to pay for the Trump presidency and his destruction of the only opposition to the DNC. The populist notion that any compromise is heresy has given power to the Dems.

    Anti-establishmentism is always great for one side of the establishment.
