Jeff Flake

Trump’s Phoenix speech was good mostly because Trump showed he could still be Trump, and that he wasn’t going to be cowed into abandoning his base – and because along the way he delivered an epic put down to the national media’s Charlottesville narrative.

President Trump's remarks about Charlottesville are controversial only because he refuses to buy into the caustic left’s narrative. Jeff Flake and other DC insiders are blind to this, which is why Trump will again win this debate.

More than 97% of self-identified conservatives said that McConnell needs to be replaced by “someone who will fulfill Republican campaign promises.” Only about 2% agreed with McConnell that President Trump is demonstrating “excessive expectations.”

Flake has been a little too cozy with McCain since he got to Washington. What's galling to those who grew up in Barry Goldwater's Arizona is Flake's none-too-subtle implication that he is somehow picking up Goldwater's mantle of conservatism. He's got an ego that's really out of sync with his accomplishments. And he couldn't even think of an original title for his book.

We urge CHQ readers to skip Flake’s screed against the voters he has failed as a member of Congress and read the original Goldwater – Bozell version of Conscience of a Conservative instead.

The Washington establishment was outraged when Donald Trump called them “stupid,” but voters across the heartland were energized and reassured that someone running for president was willing to say what they had been thinking for a good long time.

This is the last chance Capitol Hill’s establishment Republicans have to get right with the GOP’s conservative majority. If this Obamacare repeal bill fails then it will be obvious to all that the only sure path to repeal Obamacare, reform the tax code, rebuild our economy and build the border wall lies through the Republican Primary Elections.

The latest Senate Obamacare repeal bill is, given the weak-kneed GOP leadership, as close to repeal as we're going to get. Ultimately, the final answer to repealing Obamacare and restoring a free market in health insurance is to be found in only one place: The Republican primary elections.

The problem in the Senate Republican Conference is Mitch McConnell’s unwillingness to actually pursue conservative alternatives to Obamacare. We've won one round, now it's time for conservatives to hang tough and force McConnell to move the Consumer Freedom Option.

Republicans should stick to message, Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn said on Thursday, adding that it was "inappropriate" for party leaders to work against a nominee who had been duly chosen by the electorate.

3 Repub. Senators joined 3 Dems to introduce legislation (Immigration Innovation (“I-Squared”) bill) that would expand the number of guest-workers for the tech industry even though there is a surplus of American high-tech workers.

Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake and Marco Rubio are influential, but none of them hold a leadership position within the Senate or Republican power structure on Capitol Hill. However, there is one big supporter of amnesty who does hold an important leadership position, and he's using it to stealth an amnesty bill through Congress.

Why are Karl Rove and his establishment Republican patrons apparently faltering, while the allegedly unsophisticated amateurs of the Tea Party are building on their grassroots base to raise a national war chest?

Republican leaders in Washington are supporting President Obama's call for an American attack on Syria, but as Michael Patrick Leahy and Andrew Stiles report, Tea Party groups and activists around the country are united in their opposition to such military action. To join them please sign our petition to members of the Senate and the House opposing American military involvement in Syria.

Steve King shot back at claims by estab. GOP strategist Ana Navarro that he’s an “ineffective” rep, saying he’s had the highest number of amendments passed in Congress.

Those of us who care about preserving American exceptionalism have our work cut out for us in defeating S. 744, or any similar “comprehensive” amnesty for illegal aliens bill. However, a good place to start is to follow Congressman Steve King’s advice and attend congressional town hall meetings to oppose amnesty in the same kind of numbers this August that we turned-out against Obamacare in August of 2009.

Gang of 8 members met with pro-amnesty groups to plan a bully campaign against Reps. during recess.
