Flake retirement could help GOP save the Senate
I'm not predicting which party will win this seat, but McConnell seriously thinks he can recruit a mainstream conservative to defeat a candidate picked by Bannon? Did they see how that worked in Ala?
Flake has been the most unpopular senators for years now, he just squeaked out his last reelection by 3 points, Trump won AZ by 20 points. Donors have not been supporting him and he's just trying to save face, he sees the writing on the wall.
Kelli Ward came the closest of anyone of unseating McCain and has a good chance of winning the nomination for Flakes seat.
