AZ Senator Jeff Flake Can Stoop Pretty Low Pushing His New Book

Unpopular Sen. Jeff Flake Attacks President Trump While Pushing His New Book
by Adam Shaw 31.07.2017
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), one of the most unpopular senators in the country, launched an astonishing attack on President Trump Monday in an article for liberal Politico, where he also accuses the Republican Party of being “in denial” about the president — all while promoting his new book.
In the piece, “My Party Is in Denial About Donald Trump,” Flake accuses Trump of offering “oversimplified answers to infinitely complex questions” but blames conservatives for his rise. . .
Flake hearkens back to a time when Democrats and Republicans were allegedly united by a bipartisan spirit and “felt an institutional loyalty that would frequently create bonds across party lines in defense of congressional prerogatives in a unified front against the White House, regardless of the president’s party.”
The piece, which is excerpted from Flake’s new book, Conscience of a Conservative (apparently deliberately borrowing from the title of a book by failed 1964 Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater), blames “the internet and our growing alienation from each other” as some of the reasons why that bipartisan spirit has been lost.
He then says the “Faustian bargain” that conservatives made by getting behind Trump is “not worth it.”
It is unclear how well Flake’s new title will sell. Flake has a favorability rating of only 37 percent in Arizona, making him one of the most unpopular senators in the country, and his thin 140 page book will set you back a painful $27.
