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.

Well Jeffy, you can get your Buddy McMuffin to stand up again.
Yep, and thank the Lord that Flake isn’t going to be president in my view, 0bama will hold on to worst name.
Yes, what is he at, 18% is his own re-election/primary poll?? He seems to think that anything other than the Jeb! wing of the Party is unacceptable. Bye, flakey.
What a self-important, projecting, hallucinating weenie.
Here in Arizona we are seeing incessant ads of Jeff Flake. Wonder who is paying for them.
BREAKING NEWS!! If the polls continue to say that Trump's popularity is under 50%, the GOP would be foolish NOT to run a primary opponent. But I suspect there are a lot of closet Trump supporters who will tip those scales heavily based on what we know so far.
Yes he is.
I think you’re on the right track. Sounds reasoned.
Couldn’t agree more.
Those polls on President Trump have been hogwash for a year and a half so far and I don’t expect them to change, he’ll just keep winning.
MAGA!
Do you mean they would win two states against Trump or against the Democrat?
Would anyone take a warning from a Flake seriously?
A lot of folks thought the same thing about Mr. Clinton in ‘96. Bill Bradley didn’t exactly catch fire.
Trump had 16 opponents in 2016, and he mopped the floor with all of them when there two (Cruz and Kasich) or a dozen. He turned a system designed to prevent a man like him from winning against itself.
Ford was damaged in ‘76 because the right rallied around Reagan as THE opponent. Flake can’t even NAME a viable opponent for Trump to face in 2020. And a lot of the big money won’t play because Trump is president, and he takes names.
Drop the Jeff part - he’s just a Flake.
Flake is not just an incompetent fool. He’s also a $#!t head who wants to emulate another epic loser (General McClellan in 1864).
a “diminished base” and “a huge swath of voters in the middle that may be looking for something else” ????
God laugh! Nice try.
There is no difference between the parties.
It’s the Washingtonian politicians, Federal workers, and the communist press against the rest of us.
They extort 4 trillion a year, skim off the top for themselves, and waste most of the remainder.
Butthurt looks bad on Jeff. :-)
Yep. Losers Aren’t Winners, Flake.
Another mentally ill Trump Derangement Syndrome
Yes...and a senator who can’t rerun for election because he polls at 18% in his home state should always give out free political advice. Because free is all it is worth...
