Conservatives are mad at Jeff Flake, too

Data is the best. Or data are the best. Whatever. Everyone agrees that in politics, as in baseball, you can’t trust your own lying eyes. You have to look at the data.

So riddle me this: Is Jeff Flake a conservative?

I mean, he looks like a conservative and he sounds like a conservative. Even if Flake has never asked his supporters to beat up political protesters; or engaged in locker room talk; or donated money to Hillary Clinton; or supported Planned Parenthood; or flirted with single-payer health care (because those are all things that conservatives do these days) he sure comes across as a conservative.

And sure, the National Right to Life organization gives him a 100 percent rating. And the NRA’s legislative and lobbying arm gives him an “A” rating on the Second Amendment. But those are just anecdotes. What we need to understand is data. And thank goodness, Mark Levin is here to help.
