Can Jeff Flake retire already? He finally did the right thing on the Kavanaugh nomination, but not without causing even more damage to the country with his wishy-washiness, but he’s still tsk-tsking people who actually get things done.

Senator @JeffFlake: "I've not. He did send me a voicemail. Frankly, I've looked at what's happened since he's been confirmed and to see our party kind of spiking the ball in the end zone it just doesn't seem right." pic.twitter.com/6VED8lWuTZ
