all the desperate character attacks by trump cultists can't hide the fact that republican(!) senators that aren't running for re-election (mccain, corker, flake) and are free to speak their mind because they don't have to appeal to the bigots and trumpists anymore, clearly don't have ANYTHING flattering to say about trump's competence, truthfulness, dedication, and leadership...
you've got cause and effect backwards. Flake isn't criticizing Trump now that he's no longer running for re-election, he's no longer running for re-election because he criticized Trump.
Flake was down 20 points in polling specifically because voters hated his anti-Trump brand of pro-immigration pro-free-trade establishmentarianism. He's been attacking Trump since before the election.
