I like Sen Chis Coons, so does Sen Jeff Flake, except

Sen Flake sold Sen Coons a faulty bill of goods, and
Sen Coons being a good guy never would consider that Sen Flake would sell him a fake- not a genuine FBI investigation, but a fraud, a look a lIke.

So it’s safe to say Sen Coons was used by the enemy because he thought he had a friend who would be straight with him.,,but in truth, was a Trojan Horse..,,filled with lying old GOP
curmudgeons. Snarling, vengeful drunk on power men.

Sen Coons was had. He did the best he could, but he needs to face the fact that his friend had no intention whatsoever of real compromise- Flake had to know the White House would totally control and limit the FBI Investigation thereby making it impotent, neutered, no there there.

I wonder what Sen Coons thinks about how Sen Flake stands by the FBI sham investigation so much so that he now will vote yes.

over this. I suspect a lot of people feel used and betrayed.

Republicans aren't merely people with a different take on the role of government or tax policy. They are racist, sexist, fact-denying, corrupt assholes.
