Arizona Senator Jeff Flake caught on a hot mic admitting that the Republican party is "toast."

Courtesy of ABC News:

Flake, R-Ariz., was at a tax reform event in Mesa, Arizona on Friday night when he was caught bashing the president in a conversation with friend, Mesa Mayor John Giles. 

"If we become the party of Roy Moore and Donald Trump, we are toast," Flake was caught saying by ABC affiliate KNXV.

Well, he's not wrong. 

Chuck Schumer brags to Mitch McConnell about his cozy new relationship with Donald Trump.

Courtesy of Politicususa:

Schumer was overheard telling someone, “He likes us. He likes me anyway….Here’s what I told him, I said, ‘Mr. President, you’re much better off if you can sometimes step right and sometimes step left. If you have to step in just one direction, you’re boxed.’ He gets that.”

Now what makes this conversation even more interesting is who Schumer was talking to about this.

Evidently Schumer was talking to McConnell when he said this, believe it or nothttps://t.co/V8Ncsew3HV

Of course what makes this so interesting, is that Trump REALLY does not seem to like Mitch McConnell and has even attacked him on Twitter for being ineffective at his job.

And this is after news comes out that Trump made at least a verbal deal with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi to protect the Dreamers and keep DACA in place.

Now I would assume that Trump thinks he is playing the two Democrats and that ultimately he will use them to get what he wants passed in the Senate, but both Pelosi and Schumer are long time political warriors who have pretty much seen it all.

If anybody is about to get played it is Cheeto Hitler.

Senators Jack Reed and Susan Collins caught on hot mic discussing Trump's sanity, his lack of understanding about the budget, and whether Collins could "beat the shit" out of Rep. Blake Farenthold.

After Reed praises Collins’s leadership of the hearing, she laments the administration’s handling of spending. 

“I swear, [the Office of Management and Budget] just went through and whenever there was ‘grant,’ they just X it out,” Collins says. “With no measurement, no thinking about it, no metrics, no nothing. It’s just incredibly irresponsible.” 

“Yes,” Reed replies. “I think — I think he’s crazy,” apparently referring to the president. “I mean, I don’t say that lightly and as a kind of a goofy guy.” “I’m worried,” Collins replies. 

“Oof,” Reed continues. “You know, this thing — if we don’t get a budget deal, we’re going to be paralyzed.” 

“I know,” Collins replies. 

“[Department of Defense] is going to be paralyzed, everybody is going to be paralyzed,” Reed says. 

“I don’t think he knows there is a [Budget Control Act] or anything,” Collins says, referring to a 2011 law that defines the budget process. 

“He was down at the Ford commissioning,” Reed says, referring to President Trump’s weekend event launching a new aircraft carrier, “saying, ‘I want them to pass my budget.’ Okay, so we give him $54 billion and then we take it away across the board which would cause chaos.”

“Right,” Collins replies.

Collins then went on to bring up  remarks made by Texas Congressman Blake Farenthold suggesting that if she were a man he would challenge her to "step outside and settle this Aaron Burr-style.”

“Did you see the one who challenged me to a duel?” Collins asks. 

“I know,” Reed replies. “Trust me. Do you know why he challenged you to a duel? ‘Cause you could beat the s— out of him.” 

“Well, he’s huge,” Collins replies. “And he — I don’t mean to be unkind, but he’s so unattractive it’s unbelievable.” 

“Did you see the picture of him in his pajamas next to this Playboy bunny?” she continues, referring to an infamous photo of Farenthold.

This by the way is the picture Collins is referring to:

So yes, Susan Colins COULD easily beat the shit out of him.

Here is the audio of the above remarks.

Just so you know Farenthold and Collins have already apologized to each other for their remarks, but let's face it the toothpaste is out of the tube concerning what they really think about each.

And we also know what some in the Senate secretly think about the guy now occupying the Oval Office.
