Ahead of the 2016 election one of the harshest Trump critics from his own party was Senator Joff Flake. He obviously didn't see the onslaught coming, and with his own re-election bid coming up, he has dramatically changed his tune. Flake is already facing a challenge from Dr. Kelli Ward in the GOP primary, with more challengers sure to follow.
Flake's twitter account is the only proof one needs of how NeverTrump flake used to be, even suggesting he withdraw from the presidential race:
Yes, and it was a terrible suggestion. Glad he's walking it back. https://t.co/sGTXOXNhLm

Does Texas have a constitutional right to defy Supreme Court on protecting its border?
.@realDonaldTrump's comments were ignorant, offensive & suggest a troubling disregard for the separation of powers https://t.co/osho3EozfF

.@realDonaldTrump is wrong about his level of support. He needs to withdraw from the race. https://t.co/sv7K3qmF1w

However anti-Trump he was, Flake has flaked on his opposition to the new President Elect.
Congrats to Pres. Elect Trump on a big win and a gracious and healing speech. I look forward to working with him. Now, back to eating crow..

We shall see in the coming months if President Trump warms to Flake.
