Twitter was all a twitter with the news that Sen. Jeff Flake has decided not to run for re-election. After hours scouring the social media site for messages in support of Flake, few could be found.
Thank you to my dear friend @JeffFlake for your honorable service to the state of #Arizona & the nation.

With @JeffFlake announcement that he won’t run for re-election, the 2018 Senate race about to get real interesting!

I consider @JeffFlake a truly decent human being and a man who loves God, his country and his fellow human beings. I wish him God’s best.

Somewhere in Arizona, Jeff DeWit is trying to scrape a now-melted iPhone off of his desk.

Biggest loser in Jeff Flake’s announcement? Kyrsten Sinema, whose plans were based on Flake/Ward. It’s a totally different #AZSEN race now.

To be factual, true conservatives are not 4 Ward bc she is keeping Jeff DeWit from running and HE can win. She can’ beat Dem Krysten Sinema https://t.co/rPInjzeF3y
