| All right, earlier this week, yes, Rhino, Arizona Republican Senator Jeff Flake, he took to the liberal website Politico to bash President Donald Trump and his conservative supporters. | |
| In an op-ed, Flake accuses Trump of offering oversimplified answers to infinitely complex questions, but blames conservatives for his rise. | |
| He wrote, quote, It was we conservatives who upon Obama's election stated that our number one priority was not advancing a conservative policy agenda, but making Obama one-term president. | |
| Then he urged fellow Republicans to speak out if Trump plays to the base because he feels that it damages the Republican Party's ability to grow and speak to a larger audience. | |
| Okay, Jeff Flake, you have a 37% favorability rating in Arizona. | |
| Why don't you focus on doing your job and standing on your principles? | |
| Because I don't really see you doing that. |
