*Whoa.....* You might have to live in AZ to know this, but...the Flake supporting Kamala instead of DJT is a *very very big deal*...... If Jeff Flake can vote blue, ANYone can see the Light!!!
(Or...okay, wait, I might have to backpedal that for a minute...if that were to happen with, say, Paul Gosar, I'd think maybe the universe had tilted onto its side & greater concerns might be afoot...he's psycho-GOP through and through...but seeing Flake turn definitely inspires greater Hope!)

Former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said in a Sunday interview that many conservative Republicans “just can’t support a candidate like” former President Trump.
“I think Republicans believe in the rule of law in particular,” Flake told ABC’s Martha Raddatz on “This Week.” “And it’s difficult to support a candidate who, having lost an election, tries to use the powers of the presidency to overturn that election.”
“That is anything but respect for the rule of law,” Flake added. “So, I know that a lot of conservative Republicans feel the way I do, that you just can’t support a candidate like that.”
Flake, also the former Turkish ambassador, announced Sunday that he was backing Vice President Harris in her 2024 presidential bid.
“Having spent the past three years overseas as a U.S. Ambassador, I’ve seen up close that we have very real enemies abroad,” Flake said in a statement posted to X. “We also have vital and indispensable allies.”
“I want to support a presidential candidate who understands and appreciates the difference,” he said.
Flake also weighed in on the vice president’s foreign policy capability, saying he believes Harris is “ready” for the chance of the presidency and that she “understands that we have real enemies abroad.”
“But in particular we have indispensable allies as well, and we need to support them and work with them if we’re to defeat Russia, certainly, and the growing threat of China,” he added. “It was really stark watching the debate the other day and — and hearing the former president not be able to even cheer for Ukraine.”

Trump doesn't care about votes.. he's intent on stealing the election. Votes are some silly little thing idiots do to placate themselves.. the big boys steal.

I vote to have mine added to the overall so called popular vote. But otherwise mine doesn’t count. Hawaii votes over 80% democrat so my one vote doesn’t matter.. it’s not a contest here.
But yes.. inspire! Absolutely.
