Trump critic and Republican Sen. Jeff Flake suggested Sunday that the president’s words and actions have left him open to a primary challenge if he seeks reelection.
“If he continues on the path that he's on, that is going to leave a huge swath of voters looking for someone else,” Flake, who is not seeking reelection in 2018, told ABC News’ “This Week.” He's probably inviting a Republican challenge.”
Flake also said Trump’s continued path could result in a “diminished base” and “a huge swath of voters in the middle that may be looking for something else” -- including a “far left” president like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an Independent, or Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

I would have thought this illegal alien loving Flake would at least have had the courtesy of keeping his mouth shut on denigrating President Trump on Christmas Eve, I was wrong.
Merry Christmas Donald & Melania Trump and all FReepers!
MAGA!
How can people be so wrong??
Flake is seriously misreading the tea leaves to come to this conclusion.
What person does he see being better for the job than Trump?
Who does he think has more job experience, the type needed to best Trump in a head to head?
This is dog barking mad kind of talk.
Fantastic advice from a loser. I’m sure Trump will take it to heart.
Who can raise more money for the next year midterm elections, Trump or Schummer and Pelosi? Schummer and Pelosi have nothing to offer but doom and gloom and negative sound bites.
They propose absolutely nothing and expect people to support their party? The media has destroyed the Democrat Party by being so negative about everything, especially now during the Holidays.
SorozNazi Bush McShame McConnell Lindsay Collins and the rest of the backstabbing turncoats will find a challenge. But first they need to come up with a credible candidate Otherwise they’ll just be throwing their money away
Gee, Thanks for the warning, Jeffy. I’m sure Trump didn’t realize you globalist establishment open-borders D.I.A.B.L.O. douches would try to oust him next election.
Is this guy reading fiction?
Amen to that, well said.
“If he continues on the path that he’s on, that is going to create a huge swath of voters who clouldnt support someone else,” Flake, who is not seeking reelection in 2018, told ABC News’ “This Week.” He’s likely ensure there is no one who will be a Republican challenge.”
(Fixed)
Sure, Senator.
Go ahead and run for the presidency. It seems your tenure as a Senator is at an end anyway.
Get Kasich as your VP and you guys might win 2 states.
“If he continues on the path that he’s on, that is going to leave a huge swath of voters looking for someone else...”
Let me understand this: Trump ran and won by promising to proceed down a particular path, and he has proceeded down the promised path like no other president seldom has done, so therefore his voters simply cannot abide such honesty. They demand a president who runs on issues and promptly forgets them once elected. Yep, that’s it, according to Flake.
Trump is at roughly 85% support among Republicans. So, either Flake, or whoever, will need to find a strategy to win with the remaining 15% (LOL), or they will need to find a HUGE number of new voters to out vote the 85% of the Republicans.
And just who will they be? The Dems will have a competitive race (to the bottom), so Dem voters will be tied up in their own primaries.
Answer: This guy is TOTALLY DELUSIONAL.
Who?
If the GOP tries to run candidates like an establishment Jeb type, they will never win another presidency again.
Trump is the new model whether they want to admit it or not.
A Casper Milquetoast isn’t going to cut it anymore.
Jeff Flake cannot stand the idea that we might not have infinity 3rd world immigration. The possibility of it not happening is very upsetting to him. What weird psychology is at work in him?
Jeff is a one hit wonder, who will be featured on the new show “Where are they now”...
as if the voters who put Trump in the White House didn’t know what they were getting. If anything, many have had their expectations exceeded.
I agree.
Let’s hope most others do too.
IMO < Trump is exactly the right guy at the right time.
