Former Sen. Jeff Flake won't vote for Trump, says GOP better off if he loses reelection

PHOENIX – Former Sen. Jeff Flake said he won't be voting for President Donald Trump this year, and he thinks the Republican Party would be better off if Trump loses his reelection bid.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Flake, R-Ariz., picked up a theme that marked the end of his six-year term in the Senate: He is struck by the ideological surrender of his GOP colleagues to Trump's brash, slashing politics.

Unsurprisingly, Flake said he won't be backing his party's nominee in November.

"This won’t be the first time I’ve voted for a Democrat – though not for president (before)," Flake said in the interview. "Last time I voted for a third-party candidate. But I will not vote for Donald Trump."

And our institutions will also be weakened forever.

You guys burned the house down, on purpose, and now you want to pose on top of the rubble and act like a hero.

Maybe they can go in an Eisenhower direction and try patriotism this time.
