Jeff Flake Finally Says What Every Republican Knows Is True

Jeff Flake, Arizona's "other" senator, announced his resignation on the senate floor today. You should read his speech in full.

I applaud him for his honesty, though it comes far too late. The damage to the Republican Party and the nation itself may already be irreparable.

Why is it that Republicans can never acknowledge the truth and the error of their party's ways until they're no longer in office (George Bush), have announced their retirements (Flake and Bob Corker), or are dying from brain cancer (John McCain)?

Why are Republicans letting Frankenstein monsters like Donald Trump and Steven Bannon stage a hostile takeover of their party and hound them out of office?

Why aren't these men of good conscience staying and fighting these liars, misogynists and neo-Nazis for control of the Republican Party and the United States government?

After criticizing Democrats for decades, why are these Republicans abandoning their party and leaving everything up to the Democrats to wage this fight for the soul of the American people?

When will Republican members of Congress who aren't resigning stand up to the wannabe dictator in the Oval Office?
