There are a lot of....very right wing people in Arizona. I am alarmed by losing both McCain and Flake. I shudder to think who will replace them. I have been thinking the same ever since McCain was made his diagnosis public.

Back in the spring, someone (maybe Rick Wilson) said Congressional campaigns would start doing polling in the fall to gauge what the next year's elections look like. So this could get interesting, and terrifying.

Flake’s speech was everything that needed to be said from someone in the GOP. I hope some others will take it to heart.

Potential *TW* I know there was a conversation here a couple weeks ago regarding mental health issues in the military, I wanted to speak on it then but it is hard to find the right words sometimes. I just want to say that there have been 8 suicides in 10 weeks at a single base. It is a huge problem. There was a rash of suicides here last year about this time. I can't remember how many we lost between Halloween and Christmas, but it felt like every.fucking.week for a while. As of a few weeks ago, H and one of his airmen (who has ADHD and a history of suicidal ideation) became suicide prevention contacts. They had 16 hours of training. SIXTEEN. They were basically told just to stay with the person until the person reports no longer feeling suicidal. Not take them to the clinic or the ER or calling for help, just staying with them. H has been called twice to help since the training. Fortunately both had good outcomes. One was a close friend of his who was also previously H's supervisor. I had seen the suicide hotline phone number going through friends' FB statuses again in the last few days, but I was staying willfully ignorant about the incident prompting it.

WH response to Flake and Corker
People of AZ & TN supported this president, so its the right decision for them not to run
Q: Shouldnt you all be focused on tax reform rather than petty quibbles on twitter
SHS: That is what hes focused on. ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNND the president is a fighter and will hit back shit again

In your view is Pres remaking the party?
Well hes not remaking it, hes got a great relationship with other MOC. And Corker and Flake are not getting things dones.

Does any of this give the president pause?
Flake, McCain and Corker are "unlikely to be elected"
Um. McCain has brain cancer

Wowzers. I am reading excerpts from Flake's speech....
"None of this is normal. And what do we, as United States senators, have to say about it? I have children and grandchildren to answer to and so ... I will not be complicit or silent."
"If I have been critical, it is not because I relish criticizing the behavior of the president of the United States. If I have been critical, it is because I believe it is my obligation to do so, and as a matter and duty of conscience, the notion that one should stay silent as the norms and values that keep American strong are undermined and the alliance are routinely threatened by the level of thought that goes into 140 characters — the notion that we should say or do nothing ... is misguided."
