Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., sees his party gone mad (as in bonkers, but as in furious as well). The GOP has adopted the worst possible economic policy – tariffs and rent-seeking (i.e. countries now come begging for exemptions). It has come to admire Vladimir Putin, attack a free press and reflect, at best, indifference to misogyny and racism. I’m talking not only about President Donald Trump but also the millions in the GOP who voted for him and still defend him. Trump – in all his vulgarity, ignorance, nativism and mean-spiritedness – is still overwhelmingly popular among Republicans. Some, a few, in the GOP cannot stomach that.
