Full title: Jeff Flake reportedly considering 2020 Trump challenge: 'Somebody needs to run on the Republican side'

Arizona GOP Sen. Jeff Flake isn’t shutting the door on a possible White House run against President Trump.

The Arizona lawmaker – who announced last year that he would not be seeking re-election to the Senate – told Politico Friday that he hasn’t “ruled it out,” nor has he “ruled it in.”

“Just, somebody needs to run on the Republican side,” Flake said, adding that he thought Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., would also be good Republican alternatives to challenge Trump in 2020.

“I hope somebody does [run], just to remind Republicans what it means to be conservative and what it means to be decent. We’ve got to bring that back,” Flake told the outlet. “You can whip up the base for a cycle or two but it wears thin. Anger and resentment are not a governing philosophy.”

"Kasich/ Flake 2020"

Campaign slogan: "Two flakes for the price of one."

Now, that’s not nice! I was thinking of north Georgia or South-Central Tennessee. Lots of Foreign Parts have low costs of living, but then they tend not to have nice climates.

Which socialist or communist country is Flake considering a run? Venezuela is a dictatorship so that won’t work.

Good luck with that. He’d get more votes if he changed parties

And just as wishy washy as usual. I like decent Republicans just like Flake mentions but the problem is they don’t fight and thereby suck. The Union had decent Generals in the civil war, and they sucked......then there was Grant and Sherman, the two most uindescent, but they could not be spared because they fight. And we cannot spare Trump because he fights. Hoping for many fighters in the years to come. Unfortunately for you Flake.....your have always been sparable. Now go stick your head up a horses a$$ where it belongs.

Seeing that Arizona may now have a freak Lesbian Socialist as Senator, why is it out the realm of possibility that Flake may have a chance? The American voter has gone full retard.

...Anger and resentment are not a governing philosophy...

The anger and resentment is the result of what you FAILED to do while in office. Get the F out. Good Riddance.
