After lashing out at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for criticizing the President for his comments on the violence that broke out at Charlottesville, Va. rally last weekend, President Donald Trump attacked another Republican colleague on Twitter Thursday: Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ).
He praised Arizona state Sen. Kelli Ward (R) for challenging “Flake Jeff Flake” in the 2018 Arizona GOP primary, calling the senator “WEAK on borders, crime and a non-factor in Senate. He’s toxic!” Trump tweeted.
Great to see that Dr. Kelli Ward is running against Flake Jeff Flake, who is WEAK on borders, crime and a non-factor in Senate. He's toxic!

The criticism comes after Flake several weeks appearing on cable news shows, discussing his new book “Conscience of a Conservative” and calling out his party for embracing Trump and abandoning traditional conservative values.
Trump is also scheduled to hold a campaign rally in Phoenix next Tuesday evening, his first visit out west since he was elected president.
“Conscience of a Conservative”
It’s a connect the dots book.
Does Ms. Ward realize the rest of the rats are jumping OFF this sinking Trump ship, not onto it?
Bad career move for even the most ambitious wingnuts.
Curious, Trump never uses the superlative “titanic” for some reason…
He’s toxic!
She loves Trump and disapproves of McCain and Flake. Trump is likely to never lose his base, so maybe she has a shot at it.
…but will the base lose him?
