Nothing makes it more clear, when it comes to just
how much of a RINO fraud Jeff Flake of Arizona is than the recent news that he
is at least now considering running for his seat as an Independent by giving
his blessing to an outside organization to conduct polling to explore just such
a possibility. I’m sure everyone
remembers when Flake announced last Tuesday that he would not be seeking
re-election to a second Senate term next year in light of his dire chances of
winning a Republican primary and his frustration with the tenure of President
Donald Trump. Polling showed him
trailing his insurgent challenger, Kelli Ward, by double digits. But now Flake has come up with what he sees
as being a Plan B that would likely result in nothing more than to hand the
seat to the Democrats. Which is
apparently his preference.
The Centrist Project, which is a group created to recruit
independent candidates, apparently approached Flake about running outside the
dominant two-party system during a meeting this past Friday. The senator signaled he was open to the
possibility and was interested in what polling would show. A spokesperson for
Flake did not respond to an inquiry.
After initial publication of this story, the senator tweeted that an
independent run is “not gonna happen.”
Flake tweeted, “I subscribe to the old saw Running as an Independent is
the future ... and will always be the future.” And he continued shortly
afterward with another post saying, “I am a conservative and a Republican. This
fever will someday break and we can rebuild our party once more.” Personally, I would not trust this guy as far
as I could throw him.
The Centrist Project is planning to poll Flake's
chances as an independent in a three-way race this week. While Flake is skeptical about the
feasibility of an independent run, the source says, he indicated he was open to
the idea if he's provided a viable path to victory. Since Flake's announcement last week, a
segment of Republican and Independent-leaning donors also have been encouraging
the option. The source attributed
Flake's public disinterest in an independent run to public pressure from
Republicans. Joel Searby, a strategist
for The Centrist Project said, “Donors and like-minded Americans who care about
a functioning democracy are realizing they're going to have to look to new
options as party primaries continue to not only encourage but essentially
guarantee the most extreme candidates.”
Searby added, “In the case of Jeff Flake, people
from both the center-right and center-left realize that they can basically have
whichever most extreme Republican emerges from the primary or, as an
independent, a level-headed, principled Jeff Flake. When they start thinking in
those terms, they begin to realize it's time for reconsidering the old ways.” And if Flake should launch such a bid, it
would further complicate what's already expected to be a highly competitive
race. While Ward has been in the contest
for a year, White House aides, leery about her candidacy, have been looking for
alternatives. GOP Rep. Martha McSally
made members of the Arizona congressional delegation aware she’s weighing
entering the contest, and Jay Heiler, a member of the Arizona Board of Regents,
has formed an exploratory committee.
Meanwhile Democrat Rep. Kyrsten Sinema is already in
the race and is not expected to face a difficult primary which means that she
be able to horde whatever money will predictably be coming her way from all
across the country. You see, this is the
way these scumbag RINOs like Flake operate.
They’re never stratified to simply take their ball and go home. They always feel compelled to take things a
step or two beyond that, hoping to inflict as much damage as they can against
the team who saw fit to remove them from their ranks. Because it must always be made to be about
them and not, as it was this case, being about what’s best for our
country. They don’t care about what’s
best for the country, only about what’s best from them. Flake learned that lesson very well from his
presumed mentor, John McCain.
