Senator Jeff Flake won't rule out 2020 run against Trump
2017-12-25
Please do. You were gonna lose your safe seat in a Red State. Loser Asshole
Retiring Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake​ on Sunday wouldn't​ rule out a 2020 run against President Trump, saying the commander-in-chief is "inviting" a challenger with his politics of division and narrow appeal to a diminishing base of older, white men.

"I don't rule anything out, but it's not in my plans," Flake​, a Republican,​ told ABC's "This Week."
"But I wanna see my fave in the paper and will continue to bash Republicans and Conservatives"
"But I do believe if the president is running for reelection, if he continues on the path that he's on, that that's going to leave a huge swath of voters looking for something else."

Flake said he expects Trump could have challengers from multiple sides: Democrat, independent and even from his own Republican Party.

"I think he's inviting that," Flake said.

#14  #13 He needs to change his name to Nigel Flake. Jeff is too common. He will then sweep the election Gah-rhon-teed.

Maybe also change pronounciation of his last name to "fla-KAY?"

#12  I doubt that Flake would be able to make it through the process. He is not well-known and what is known about him is not particulary liked.

#11  Jeb 2.0. Good luck with that.

#10  Senator Jeff Flake makes a desperate bid to be invited to the cool parties run by liberals (with drugs and hookers and shit) before shuffling off to retirement.

#9  Look at me! Even though my polls show I can't win a primary next year in my own state I will challenge the man!

Well the Donks only have radicals and very old white people lined up, so why not go full Donk in practice rather than just plain RINO.

#8  Nobody with a last name of FLAKE can win national election!! Not possible.

#7  Speaking of Soros, he is bankrolling McCain's "foundation", so beware of that coming into use as a one-world progressivist tool. And watch for Flake's invite to run it.

#6  Flake has become Schumer when it comes to cameras.

#5  Good Senator,

The best way to campaign is to spend lots and lots of money, take a second and third and fourth mortgage, take out massive loans, accept tons of money from George Soros. Spend the money like there's no tomorrow. It's the only chance you have. In fact, if you send me large amounts of money in small, unmarked non-sequential bills, I will have certain associates be certain to give you consideration. (I really need some new guns and LOTS of ammo)

I look forward to receiving your 'assistance' in this matter Senator. Do it for the children!

#4  Remember how the MSM went from slobbering fans of McCain to vicious attack dogs in 2008? What a tool.

I'm all for shattering the core parties into their little tribes and let them fight each other. Trump's core voters will still vote for him.

Oh and Flake, expect to lose you donkey-fluffing fuck.

#1  The problem up to this point is that when you went to vote, they were all flakes.
This just makes it official policy.
