He really roasted Trump to the Senate today. Pretty powerful speech, imo.
Two republican senators came out today blasting their own party’s president’s honesty. That’s unprecedented.
They're never Trumpers. They've been doing this for forever. **** them. Good riddance.
Democrats are going down in the next election. They don't have to resign.
Nope 2018 is going to be a bloodbath for Republicans.

There might be a "bloodbath" in the House, but Republicans are pretty safe in the Senate next year. They've only got 9 or so seats up this time.
Why would there be a bloodbath in the House? Do you think that many Democrats are going to defeated?
Republican incumbents in the House are pretty safe. They have passed the legislation we wanted.
That is why they are at risk. Also whether Obamacare should be repealed or whether it should be fixed could be the issue.
Republican incumbents in the House will be reelected. It is almost always a certainty.
Those on Obamcare don't vote Republican anyway.
Right now, on all 3 cable news channels, Sen. Jeff Flake is announcing that he will not run again for office.
Apparently, he's not happy about serving in a screwed up Congress under a president with no leadership qualities. And, he's not just talking about Trump, he's talking about the whole government, from the backbiting and fighting in Congress between the members all the way up to Trump and the way he's doing things.
He really doesn't sound happy about the way Congress and the government has divided itself.
Arizona's Jeff Flake announces he will not seek re-election to U.S. Senate
The bombshell, which Flake, R-Ariz., intended to detail Tuesday afternoon on the Senate floor, will further roil Republican hopes of keeping the party's 52-seat Senate majority in the midterm elections of Trump's first term, when the president's party historically loses seats in Congress.
It also likely will upend the race for Flake's seat.
Flake, one of the Senate's more prominent critics of President Donald Trump, has been struggling in the polls.
He told The Arizona Republic ahead of his announcement that he has become convinced "there may not be a place for a Republican like me in the current Republican climate or the current Republican Party."
'Here's the bottom line ...'
Flake said he has not "soured on the Senate" and loves the institution, but that as a traditional, libertarian-leaning conservative Republican he is out of step with today's Trump-dominated GOP.
"This spell will pass, but not by next year," Flake said.
Among Republican primary voters, there's overwhelming support for Trump's positions and "behavior," Flake said, and one of their top concerns is whether a candidate is with the president or against him. While Flake said he is with Trump on some issues, on other issues he is not. And Trump definitely views him as a foe, having denounced Flake publicly and called him "toxic" on Twitter.
"Here's the bottom line: The path that I would have to travel to get the Republican nomination is a path I'm not willing to take, and that I can't in good conscience take," Flake told The Republic in a telephone interview. "It would require me to believe in positions I don't hold on such issues as trade and immigration and it would require me to condone behavior that I cannot condone."
No, he just knows he'll be slaughtered in any election against the person bannon runs against him. He wasn't a conservative anyway so the repubs won't be missing him.
The next senator from AZ will be Dr Kelli Ward, unless Mcain due to his illness, has to resign 1st. At that time governor Duce will install a more CONSERVATIVE Republican, and there will go Obysmal care.
For you who aren't paying close attention------> if the Repubs pass this tax deal; even through reconciliation, you will probably have 55 or 56 Republican senators, Mcain will be on the way out if not already gone, and the Presidents agenda will pass. Don't buy into the lefts notion, that the repubs are going to take a bath, unless the bath they are talking about is in the primary.
What you are going to see I am firmly convinced, is the most BRILLIANT political moves we have seen in 50 yrs! Who devised this? I have no idea, and I mean it; but what they did was let the Democrats put Russia into the minds of the American people, BEFORE they start feeding the information on what, and who, really had this all going on. As this comes to the fore front over the winter, the left is going to be done everywhere, but the bluest of blue states.
At 1st I was skeptical and thought it was to good to be true. It had to be phony..........UNTIL............it was proven that they have a witness, and the witness was put under a gag order by the DOJ during the Obama administration. This witness has documents, and tapes! Sessions is going to REMOVE that order, and by January, you probably won't see a lefty on here, up to and including their paid posters. This is going to be a rout alright, but in exactly the opposite direction of what the lefties on here are predicting! I know leftist on here don't believe it, and I don't blame them, I really don't. Like I said, neither did I! But it is looking like what at 1st appeared to be 90-10 probability of being false, has turned into 85-15 of being true.
Again, who devised the patience strategy? It wasn't Trump, I would bet the house on it! But, I am more than sure, it was someone who is, or was, in the inner circle! Whomever it was, will have pulled off something politically amazing if it follows through. If it comes to pass as the evidence appears to be, Rosenstein will be gone, Muehler will be gone, Comey will look as close to a traitor as possible, and the lefties will all be hiding under their beds!
