Flake and Corker are Cowards, Not Heros

They Vote the Trump Line Issue after Issue

The press which is about as shallow as the shallow end of the kiddie pool will be praising Senators Corker and Flake for standing up to the bully in the White House. But words are all they offer. They are both leaving the Senate rather than face losing a Republican primary. They could go out with principles in tact, voting against the harsh policies of the Trumpet but instead they will go lockstep in supporting tax cuts for the wealthy, destruction of health care for the low income families, espulsion of young men and women who were brought to the country illegally when they were children and had not choice in the matter, etc, etc, etc.

Here is the lowdown on Sen. Flake.

But Flake's peril is especially remarkable when you consider that he has among the most conservative records in the Senate — and in the House before that. Despite that, he created an untenable situation for himself by criticizing Trump and separating himself from the president's signature issues, which he conspicuously mentioned in his quote.

And same conservative record applies to Corker. They will be replaced by the truly repulsive Republicans but the good news is that the nation will see them for what they are.
