Some Republicans have their priorities straight; Country over Party.
Others obfuscate for Trump no matter what.

You have to give Flake credit for being one of the original 'never-Trumpers' and he's not deviated from that position ever since.

Interesting. Flake was pretty wacko when he was a senator. But he knows Trump is bad news, so that's a plus.

Flake was never a conservative. He was or is a country club corporatist globalist just like others such as GW Bush.Their priority was not national sovereignty and a strong USA country. It was globalism, cheap labor. Chamber of Commerce and China and others.

@@7 ... Flake was never a conservative. ...
Does your alias' AI say that because he was never actually a conservative, or because your AI just disagrees with his current opinions?
Jeff Flake en.wikipedia.org
... Born in Snowflake, Arizona, Flake attended Brigham Young University, from which he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in international relations, and later his Master of Arts degree in political science. In the early 1980s, he became a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in South Africa, where he learned to speak Afrikaans. After returning to the United States, Flake served as executive director of the Goldwater Institute, before being elected as a Republican to the House of Representatives from Arizona's 1st congressional district in 2001. He served as the representative for the 1st district until renumbering following the 2000 census redefined the district to be Arizona's 6th congressional district, which he then represented until he entered the Senate in 2013. Flake sought the Republican nomination for the 2012 Senate election after incumbent Jon Kyl announced his retirement. He defeated Democratic candidate and former United States Surgeon General Richard Carmona in the general election. Flake was one of the bipartisan "Gang of Eight" U.S. senators who pushed an immigration reform bill through the Senate in 2013. He is known as a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, but generally voted in line with Trump's positions. ...

"Flake was never a conservative"
Nonsense.
Flake was a Never-Trumper...until it came time to vote; then he was an Always-Trumper.
Eff him, and the horse he rode in on.

@#9 ... Nonsense. ...
Yup.
The comment you backquote was just yet another of the comments by MAGA (or the MAGA AI bots) that appear to attempt to discredit anyone who may disagree with the MAGA-cult's unfettered adulation of fmr Pres Trump.
