Republican senator caught on live mic saying GOP was 'toast' under leadership of Roy Moore, Donald TrumpBy MARK OSBORNE Nov 18, 2017, 12:51 AM ET
Sen. Jeff Flake, a frequent sparring partner of President Donald Trump, continues to make enemies in his own party after calling the GOP "toast" while unaware he was still on a live mic.
Flake, R-Ariz., was at a tax reform event in Mesa, Arizona on Friday night when he was caught bashing the president in a conversation with friend, Mesa Mayor John Giles.
"If we become the party of Roy Moore and Donald Trump, we are toast," Flake was caught saying by ABC affiliate KNXV.

I say I'm Republican and a constituent and use a zip code from the area. I act like I'm very concerned about the party in general and what is happening. There is no way I'm wasting my time calling the NY Senators.
