Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) mourned the passing of his colleague Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in a Washington Post op-ed published Saturday night, writing that, as “the other senator from Arizona,” “perhaps what says the most about John are the miles he usually traveled alone, such as during the mid-1990s to a veterans home in Northeast Washington to visit former Democratic congressman Mo Udall.” Read the op-ed here.

Flake can afford to say nice things because he’s quitting.
Call me a cynic.
Hillary was well-spoken on McCain this morning. Made me sad to hear her intelligent, qualified voice and realize (once again) how things could have been.
Yeah they were buds - they liked share drinks together. It could have been so beautiful - a woman, a really qualified president who had spent years building relationships.
sigh
We were so robbed.
Not sure I will ever get over the grief of that.
I feel ya - I don’t think I ever will either.
