I will say it because everyone else seems to be dancing around trying to figure out why GOPers

do not like Flake, McCain, Crocker and a few others who do not suck up to Trump.

It's because the ones who do not speak up feel and believe exactly as Trump portrays himself to be: rank RACIST and Misogyny.

For the firm 30%, it's not about jobs, taxes, trade, patriotism, security, religion, or anything else. Look at the people they hate:
They hate the Clintons with a passion. Why. We remember how Bill Clinton spent his days as governor in Ark. and how he and Hillary came into Washington. They came with purpose to make government look more like America. They came befriending and defending the poor and minorities, especially blacks. Look at the appointments and Federal hires made during Clinton's terms. Hillary was spending too much time defending the children of the poor and minorities and working for women's rights.

Next in line for their hate are those who show some decency, dignity, intelligence, compassion and tolerance. They cloak their true feelings in terms of political differences when they are actually all about being able to undo ALL the Civil Rights progress that was made over the past 50 years.

Believe it or not, this obsession predates Clinton. They want to undo BOTH the "Great Society" programs, AND the New Deal, as well as undo the LBJ Civil Rights Era legislation. (They've already started with their assault on the Voting Rights Act).
