Flake not ruling out presidential bid
Source: The Hill
BY BRETT SAMUELS - 12/24/17 11:12 AM EST
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) on Sunday said if President Trump could see a Republican or independent challenger in 2020, adding that hes not ruling out a possible White House bid himself.
I do believe if the president is running for reelection, if he continues on the path that hes on, that thats going to leave a huge swath of voters looking for something else, Flake said on ABCs This Week.
Flake, who announced he is not running for reelection to the Senate in 2018, has been a vocal critic of Trump and the Republican Party under his leadership.
Flake said Sunday the GOP is largely appealing to "older white men," adding that the party must find a governing philosophy to be successful in the future.

(47,953 posts)Votes for all of Trump's goons and scams, then complains about Trump. F-off Flake. You have the right name.
Here in Arizona, he is often referred to as "The Flakey Waffleman", by those of us who had watched his shenanigans in local politics before he stumbled onto the national stage.

And Then There's This...
"Meals on Wheels. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Farm aid. National Flood Insurance. The Women, Infants and Children program. All left with none or almost no funding under the tax bill President Trump made law this morning."

(326 posts)He may be a critic of Trumplethinskin but he voted for the agenda anyway. So he's either a party soldier doing what he's told by leadership or he agrees with what he voted for - neither of those traits make him a viable choice IMHO. they are all so afraid of the fickle finger of the Tweet.

(2,785 posts)He must think Trumps personality is the only problem with the GOP and not GOP policies. The truth is Trumps personality is the manifestation of years of GOP policies.

but who do the pukes have that's any better, i.e. not even worse? After wracking my brain, I literally can't think of anyone who isn't even more of a vicious crackpot. And yeah, I'm lookin' at you, Mr. Forced-Carry-Your Downs-Fetus kasuck.
And fluke apparently is a hard core libertarian, which is prolly his rationale for voting for the GOPee tax heist. He thinks there will be free market unicorns and rainbows springing up all over, or some shit like that. Or he doesn't care.
No puke who voted for or supports the tax scam should ever be elected or re-elected to any office, ever. let alone the presidency. Guess that rules out all current GOPee senators. What a tragedy for the nation. Please pardon me while I mourn. NOT.

Otoh, both the Tea Party and Trump were populist revolts against what the Kochist machines were doing. Very unfortunately, both revolts ended up controlled by their enemies. Not the brightest bulbs and very little sign of even slow learning.
