re: #33 Hecuba’s daughter

Of course, Flake isn’t facing another election. So if there were ever a time for him to do what’s right, it’s now. (Who am I kidding? He won’t vote No unless his vote is meaningless).

re: #34 HappyWarrior

What about those leaving i.e. Flake?

I think Flake’s primary concern is Flake’s own financial bottom line. If he’s thinking of getting a lucrative banking or DC lobbying job, and that absolutely is what he’s thinking, then his job market value diminishes considerably if he’s perceived as having stabbed Trump and the GOP in the back. He also wants to keep the door open to a GOP Presidential run down the line, and so again being the guy whose attack of conscience just before a midterm election he was too cowardly to participate in also cost Republicans a solid medium term SCOTUS majority doesn’t help him with that. I will be very surprised if Flake votes no.
