In AZ we once had a Republican senator named Jeff Flake. He wrote a nice op-ed in either WSJ or NYT explaining how the labor of undocumented migrants was essential to farming & ranching here. But he bailed from senate rather than do anything about it.

Do you think it was even remotely possible that Flake could have won his primary?

Not in AZ Republican Party. DidnтАЩt think Nikki Haley could win 2024 presidential primary either but her staying in served some purpose and couldтАЩve done even more if she hadnтАЩt caved to Trump.

I never read FlakeтАЩs book. Do you know if it explained that the Conscience of a Conservative says not to make a stand to challenge those you think are failing a party you believe(d) in?
