CONSERVATIVE VICTORY: Leading RINO Retires

    10/24/2017 Source: AAN by: AAN



In a stunning announcement, Senator Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) revealed he would not seek reelection in 2018. Unsurprisingly, Flake took his moment in the spotlight to bash President Trump.

Throughout Trump's presidency, Flake has been one of his most prominent critics on the Republican side of the aisle, much to the consternation of his constitutions and conservatives everywhere.

I don't know much  about Flake except he is a liberal and it would be a pleasure to see the liberals in the party replaced in congress by true Constitutional conservatives.  But that's just it ---who is going to replace these liberals?  Another liberal?  Or if Bannon has his way -- a Trump loyalist?  I surely don't want more liberals in congress, and I don't want congresspersons whose first loyalty is to Trump, not to the Constitution and the voters who elect them.  I am not convinced that a Trump loyalist would necessarily be in the best interests of the people and this nation.

So a guy with a ACU rating around 90% is a RINO?

Good question, but these rankings based on votes can be gamed.

Don't know where you got the 90%.

Here's the scoring by the Heritage Foundation.  67% lands him in the middle of the GOP party currently in Congress.
