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 on 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.
He added 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.”
And while he insisted that a 2020 Senate run in Arizona was “not in the cards,” he also told Politico that he’s “not swearing off politics.”
On Thursday, Flake announced via Twitter his intention, alongside Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), to “ask for unanimous consent” to vote for legislation that would “protect” special counsel Robert Mueller.
To WHAT? A game of marbles? Beer pong? A spelling contest? 🙄
He should be forced to switch parties if he does.
Oh, dude. HAHAHAHAHA!!!
What a delusional dick. One of the reasons we lost the house now wants to “save us” from Trump.
LMAO
Flake is sorta young to be senile so I’m guessing he’s just plain stupid. How can someone who can’t even carry their own state even consider running for the presidency?
He thinks Kasich would be a good candidate? Who is only remembered as a son of a mailman?
Flake is delusional…and a flake.
So you’re sayin’ there’s a chance?
FLAKE KASICH ? HAAHAHHAHAHA.
That bumper sticker would be its own meme.
FLAKE KASICH sound like a breakfast cereal to me. High in fiber.
Hes “Flakey” enough to think he could win🤣
Like Pelosi, Flake’s mental problems can only be covered so long. His delusion is a symptom of more serious problems. Maybe O’commie could get him a job at Man’s Country?
Was there ever a senator who didn’t dream of someday being President? That’s their sole purpose in life and Trump came in without ever holding any elected office…that’s one of the reasons they hate him
Seems to me that the only “anger and resentment” is being displayed by the never-Trumpers.
Who the hell did that idiot ever appeal to? Soy Republicans?
“…just to remind Republicans what it means to be conservative and what it means to be decent.” And how would Flake know what either of those are?
Flake, like Kasich, is AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A GWB tool! As was “Snarlin Arlin” for thos under 50 Arlin S was the liberal leader of the Bus “Republicans” who “Borked” Judge Bork 30 years ago. GWB is a liberal and has hated conservatives since 1980!
Flake will run, as will Kasich, to give The Press a tool to bash Don with! Neither has a chance to win and election. But GWB’s boys win if they make Don look bad; and the Press will use them to so just that!
I hope both of them run for it. And both are blind suckwads who never will find an acorn, even if they trip over one.
I voted for Flake and was happy to see him take his senate seat…..then he went MAJOR WHACKO and made RINOS look like hard core conservatives. This is NOT the Flake I voted for.
Thanks Ferd.
Make sure you vote again, just to help us out .
