Jeff Flake's speech on the floor of the US Senate was a pathetic act of desperation. All CNN and MSNBC have been talking about was the lies of a pumped up Jeff Snowflake and Little Bobby Corker whining about how mean Donald Trump has been. Not necessarily to them, but to everyone. Last week it was John McCain trashing Trump, but unfortunately for his cause he's lost all credibility. New blood was needed in a big hurry, so enter these two assholes.
Why would Bob Corker and Jeff Flake all of the sudden decide that they can't stand Donald Trump at this particular time?
The answer is obvious. To change the focus of the news plain and simple.
This has Hillary's fingerprints all over it.
Both of them have no chance of being re-elected and so now they won't be risking even a close election. Both are polling double-digits behind their respective opposition. They have nothing to lose.
So Bob and Jeff have decided to take the bribe and trash the president openly in their last act of defiance. Maybe they can get a high paying gig as a media consultant for purveyors of fake news. It seems that trashing Trump in public is very lucrative.
Rush Limbaugh had and interesting take on this:
Jeff Flake’s Exit Is What Draining the Swamp Looks Like
You know, I was just watching CNN during the break, and they think they’re on to something. Trump at his presser — which is what it was. It was an impromptu presser. He was out there for 15 minutes on the lawn of the White House before boarding Marine One. I think he’s headed to Texas. Anyway, the infobabe at CNN, Brooke Baldwin, was a little sad because Trump was happy. In their world, Trump ought to be falling apart. In their world, they should have Trump in the padded room now wearing the straitjacket, medicated so that he’s just sitting there slobbering.
They think they’ve pretty much destroyed Trump and worn him out. So he shows up, and he’s having the greatest time and he’s smiling and he’s laughing — and poor Brooke is just having trouble with it. And the thing that he said that had her the most shaken was when he said, “Yeah, the Republican Party’s got a lot of unity right now,” and she has two guests discussing how stupid Trump is for thinking that there’s unity in the Republican Party.
“What with McCain and Jeff Flake doing what they’re doing, how…?” Let me explain this. The real definition for Republican unity is not what goes on up there on Capitol Hill. When you look at how many Republican votes did Trump get, it’s 90% of Republicans voted for Trump. Ninety percent voted for McCain. Ninety percent voted for George W. Bush. Ninety-three percent voted for Romney. There is unity among Republican voters. The unity among Republican voters is what’s forcing a bunch of swamp denizens to leave!
The reason Flake is leaving is ’cause he can’t win reelection. Jeff Flake is barely polling double digits in Arizona, as an incumbent. So he’s trying to blame that on Trump. Poor Jeff Flake cannot win reelection. So he decides that he’s had enough, he can’t any longer subject himself to the kind of just debasement to politics that his part is now supporting. He just cannot any longer stand idly by and let this kind of terror and horror happen, and so he’s leaving.
What that means is: He can’t win reelection. So he goes to the floor of the Senate with “a fiery speech” blaming Trump. The Drive-Bys love it ’cause to them that’s Republican disunity. I see it as Republican unity. I see it as Trump doing what he said he was gonna do. He’s draining the swamp. And I’ll tell you this: The more Flakes the better. This is what draining the swamp looks like, folks. It was never gonna be pretty! You think draining the swamp is simply getting rid of the deep state embeds? It’s not just that. It’s getting rid of a bunch of RINOs.
Let’s go through Flake’s voting record, shall we? Jeff Flake presents himself as this dyed-in-the-wool conservative, does he not? He campaigns as a conservative just like the vaunted Senator McCain does. But something happens, like it does to practically all of these people. After the campaign and win reelection, they then show up in the swamp and promptly forget those things they said. A guy named Jason Johnson, who worked on the Ted Cruz campaign (or maybe in Cruz’s office) put together a little list here in response to Flake’s pathetic floor speech yesterday.

On a side note.....I was looking at Jeff Flake's suit. The guy looks like he's got some guns on him, but on a closer look you can see pads on the arms and forearms. This guy is such a fake he's wearing padded sleeves on his suit. On the right forearm you can clearly make out the padding.
What a fakey pontificating asshole!!!!
This is what a normal suit looks like:
