Won despite Trump. This is a stupid story.

Trump doesn't control the racist, hateful base. The GOP built that hate, Trump rode it to election by saying out loud what most GOP only dogwhistled, and the hateful base still bows only to hate, not to Trump.

Candidates that hate blacks and gays and liberals and Hispanics and immigrants will get votes from the base no matter what Trump does. Flake dared vote for helping people with healthcare though the GOP media opposed it. Flake's issue that the GOP is insane. It's not Trump that is Flake's problem.
