Who Here Trusts Flake to Keep His Word and Not Support Judicial Appointments?

[ProudLib72]

Yeah, right!

[liberal N proud]

1. Too flakey

[3catwoman3]

2. I'm not holding my breath.

All talk and no action.

[JDC]

3. Definately not

[ProudLib72]

4. What? Really? But he sounded so sincere standing up there announcing his decision!

[JDC]

5. I file this next to Sue Collins' concerns.

[RDANGELO]

6. He is only going to be there till January anyway.

And the thing that lets him do that, is the Senate rules; it is not in the constitution which means it can be overridden.

7. Pffft

[Kaleva]

8. If he does, that's great but if he doesn't, we are no worse off then before.

Flake is more of a problem for Trump supporting Repubs then to us.

[ProudLib72]

9. Quick question

Do turtles sweat?



In a way you could be right. Maybe he will draw the deplorables' ire away from us.

[Kaleva]

10. Deplorables already hate Flake.

[ProudLib72]

12. True, but this sort of grandstanding in a lame duck session when the Rs

want to get a bunch of nasty conservative judges through... well, I say let the focus shift from us to the mounting division within their own party. And if he happens to convince a couple more Rs to his way of thinking, so much the better.

[Kaleva]

14. Never been critical of McCain,Flake,Collins when they were doing something that pissed Trumpers off

Didn't see the sense in joining Freepers in attacking the aforementioned three. Thought it better to just stand back and watch the enemy fight amongst themselves.

11. Another agenda?

Not trust. Pretty sure he has another agenda, maybe wants to become leader of the anti trump Republican world that should develop pretty nicely now. Only time will tell

[TomSlick]

13. I don't know.

It depends on what he's planning. If he's planning to run for something, this might be his idea of a Trump inoculation.

[ProudLib72]

15. That seems like a dangerous gambit, but it might be what he's up to

He could be thinking that he is leaving the Senate on a high note. I think it could backfire on him royally. If he leaves and conservatives remember his as "that asshole who obstructed the Senate", then his Rump inoculation could count for nothing. He should know by now that these people are as fickle as they come.

[jrthin]

16. I don't. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

17. You said Flake and I immediately thought of Susan Collins

My bad.

[ProudLib72]

18. With conjoined twins, that mistake sometimes happens

[In It to Win It]

19. We'll see with Trump NC judicial nominee Thomas Farr
