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.’
imho, Flake...and Kasich.....do believe they are smarter than most and more moral than everyone else. Sure, Jeff, run for President so you can waste other people’s money. Arrogant, hypocrite.

Cornyn-Flake 2020
Maybe Kellogs will back them.
Flake is an oxygen thief
Flakey, Corker and McLame were a real troika...
Please clap.
Flake is apply named.
Yeh, that will happen. He will draw crowds of tens of tens.
Delusional moronic imbecile, actually a I just described all Democrats
At this point I’d question his sanity. The man is delusional.
But he’ll draw lots of flies.
Oh please do! I can’t think of anyone I’d rather see Trump squash in the GOP primary.
” He will draw crowds of tens of tens.”
Would could probably name most of them. Ben Sasse. Paul Ryan. Jonah Goldberg. Bill Kristol. Michael Medved. Ben Shapiro. Dubya. Jeb! Hugh Hewitt. Glenn Beck....
Only if Mooshell shows up and drops her drawers.
Flake has the Snowflake precinct covered. /sarc
Actually I think the Never Trumpers will fund it. Kristol, Lowry, Shapiro, etc. Pathetic.
