http://archive.is/upbJY Early anti-Trump groundwork by GOP titled. "Milbank: Mike Pence and his best friend go separate ways on Trump" by Dana Milbank (WP columnist). Regarding Sen Jeff Flake, R-AZ: "For all the ominous political developments, it's worth pausing to remember that there are still good and courageous leaders — none more so in recent weeks than the self-effacing Mormon from Arizona." (suppress gag reflex) This BS MSM propaganda article lends some credence (IMHO) that Pence isn't part of the DCpedoCartel. The op-ed is a glowing tribute to Flake's early "instincts" to be anti Trump, claiming that ""The Republicans belatedly heading for the exits vindicate Flake's long and lonely stand against Trump. The senator has no interest in gloating, but he welcomes the company." In other words, the NeverTrump, pro Hillary GOP hacks migrating to Flake's side was a vindication of his lonely warnings, yet we know the Neocons never supported him and never believed he would win.

"Flake refused to attend the Republican convention, saying, "I've got to mow my lawn." During the convention, he took to Twitter to object to the Republicans' "lock her up" attack on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton."

"When Trump proposed his ban on Muslims (eyeroll), entering the country, Flake visited a mosque to highlight the contributions of Muslim Americans. ... Flake hailed McCain's statement saying that Trump doesn't have an "unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us."
