That's why Kelli Ward beat McCain so badly, right?
Trump won Arizona by 4%...Flake opposed Trump and he's dropping out.
Trump won Tennessee by 26%...Corker opposed Trump, and he's dropped out.
If McCain were up for re-election, he'd be dropping out too.
As an aside...Trump won Missouri by 19%...incumbent Republican Senator Roy Blount eeked out a win on the same ballot by a measly 2%.
You don't get it.
Trump won Arizona by 4% (within the margin of error).
During that same election cycle, McCain beat Ward (a huge Trumpster) by double digits in the primary, and beat the Democrat challenger in the general by double digits as well.
Since then, Trump has only lost support.
So, it just a huge coincidence that the Republicans who are so far out of the realm of possibility for re-election That they are dropping out of their races and going home just HAPPEN to be the same Republicans that oppose the Trump agenda?
Come on ... I was born at night, but it weren't LAST night.
I have no doubt that Flake and Corker have decided not to run for reelection because they're worried about being primaried. That's not the real issue here.
Ward will almost certainly lose the general. Flake, if he ran again, would almost certainly win.
I am not so sure of that. However Flake's chances of winning are better than Ward's. I think Flake has been damaged by his votes to kick millions off of their insurance.
