Full title: Jeff Flake reportedly considering 2020 Trump challenge: 'Somebody needs to run on the Republican side'

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 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, adding 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.”

Waste of air.

Better chance of winning in the Neo-Marxist Democrat party primary.

President Trump will squash this insect

Flake has gone full retard, you never go full retard

I guess the 2020 will be Kasich, Flake and Trump in the primary. President Trump doesn’t even need to show up and agree to zero debates

Its over before it begun

Aw, jeez, Jeff, no. What an absolutely idiotic idea. Go get a private life somewhere with a pleasant climate and a low cost of living.

“A man’s got to know his limitations.” (Dirty Harry) Flake might well ponder that.

Ok, Jeffy boy, it will be interesting to see you try to act like you’re more conservative than Trump.

I can’t wait.

Soros and the Billionaires will throw Millions at him to fund his run.
He will spend zero of it but spend two years sliming Trump.

Same as McCain
