Flake is floating a presidential run

Who didn't see this coming?

Last week, the New Hampshire Institute for Politics announced that Senator Jeff Flake would be appearing at their upcoming "Politics and Eggs" breakfast in Manchester.

This raised quite a few eyebrows, since it's well established that there are only two reasons to go to northern New England in March:

1. Skiing.
2. New Hampshire's presidential primary is the first in the nation.

In this case, the evidence suggests that Flake is floating a presidential run. Though he hasn't said as much, he's been hinting at the possibility since last summer, when he published a book about his political philosophy.

Democrats hate him, and Trump's base hates him even more than Democrats do. He'd be lucky if he hit 58-60 million votes.
