Flake has written “Conscience of a Conservative: A Rejection of Destructive Politics and a Return to Principle” describing how the GOP has lost their way. Probably explains why he always looks perplexed and undecided. As a politician he has turned into a jellyfish. Floats around until he bumps into an issue where the GOP needs a vote. The sting is he tries the holier than thou, why can’t you see things my way on his own party. Meanwhile, the Dems know how to push and pull him like a kid playing with slime. He always looks lost because his moral foundation is built on sand. He’s dirty like the rest or he wouldn’t be leaving office with $8M. That’s how he was manipulated or “handled” and risks exposure. The electorate sees how feckless he is and that’s why he’s out of DC at the end of his term.
