What's the consensus on Flake? Stunt? Heartfelt? Who cares?

The speech was powerful, but this guy has voted for everything Commander Cholesterol has wanted. To me, his words seemed hollow.

I vote "Stunt"

I think he's hoping for political gain for a run in 2020. This was him making a campaign commercial when he primaries President Propecia.

...do you agree with what he said on the Senate floor?

...is there anything worthwhile to our effort to confront Trump being served by dismissing what he said, out of hand, or dismissing him entirely?

he should have made this speech in October of 2016, then I would say he's brave. This asshole is not running for re-election so he can spout off now in hopes of saving some sort of reputation even tho he has spent the previous years blindly following and supporting the fucking GOP

Republican will need a "fake moderate" to fool the masses, one who opposed the impeached Trump. Just planning ahead creating false impressions .....
