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.”

I hope he plans to run as a Democrat. They booed him the last time he spoke to them.

Maybe he could get John Duh Kerry-Heinz to run with him as the Duh-Duh ticket.

‘...Flake thinks real highly of himself.’

No but a menace, I can easily see crypto rats funding his ‘independent’ candidacy’. He only has to pull a few per cent of Trump offended tight assed country club gopers to tip states to the rats.

At this point I’d question his sanity. The man is delusional.

” He will draw crowds of tens of tens.”

Actually I think the Never Trumpers will fund it. Kristol, Lowry, Shapiro, etc. Pathetic.
