Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ)

Arizona Primary Election: Summer of 2018

Arizona Senate Election: November 2018

In the opinion of StressFreeBill, Arizona Senator Jeff Flake is the epitome of a Ruling Class Republican Politician.

He arrogantly believes he is smarter, better informed, and in a better position to make decisions for The People than they are themselves.

He studiously ignores the voices of Arizona Republicans and his own constituents and openly opposes much of the expressed Will of the People nationwide. He was a strident supporter of the Jeb Bush/Karl Rove side of the party during the Republican primaries of 2016. Even after Donald Trump clinched the nomination he remained a vocal Never Trumper and worked to undermine him in the General Election. He, along with Mitt Romney and others, openly advocated for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.

Since the election, he has continued to undermine the President and the agenda that elected him. As a classic example of a professional politician practicing his duplicitous craft, he voted to repeal and replace Obamacare, all the while bad mouthing the administration’s efforts in this regard – and one can safely speculate that he only voted for it knowing that his fellow Arizona Senator, John McCain, was going to torpedo the bill.

• He was a cosponsor to the 2013 ‘Gang of Eight’ amnesty immigration bill.
• He opposes the border wall.
• He fundraises with Mitt Romney and George W. Bush – both Ruling Class Republicans.
• He helped President Obama open up diplomatic relations with Cuba.
• He is an open advocate of globalism over nationalism.
• He recently published a book, Crisis of Conscience, in which he is severely critical of President Trump. He ridicules the President’s tweeting and claims the word Orwellian is inadequate to describe the Trump administration and their embrace of alternative facts. The New York Times writes that his book declares President Trump a domestic and international menace.
• He is encouraging the GOP not to follow the presidents lead.
• He is a strong advocate of what he calls Free Trade (one-sided deals that transfer the wealth of the U.S. elsewhere). He strongly supported the TPP agreement and calls pulling out of it “a big mistake which will haunt us for a long time.”
• He supports the Special Counsel investigations into collusion and Russia meddling in our elections.
