Washington – Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona says President Donald Trump is certain to face an independent challenge in the next presidential election, if not one from within the party. And Flake is not ruling out being that challenger.

Flake has been fiercely critical of Trump, even while supporting parts of his agenda, like the new tax cuts. Trump in turn has denounced the senator, who’s not seeking re-election next year.
Flake says if Trump continues on his path, and if Democrats lean left, a “huge swath of voters” will be “looking for something else.”
Asked on ABC’s “This Week” whether he might run for president in 2020, Flake said “That’s not in my plans” but “I don’t rule anything out.”
He says Republicans must marginalize the party’s “ultra-nationalist” element.
This Flakey guy couldn’t win his own state that is why he isn’t running for reelection, he thinks he will be able to beat the President in a national race?
All in all, it is unlikely President Trump will be able to run for reelection. He is seventy-one now and does not look healthy. In the same way most of the brand-name Democrats are too old. I imagine that the next election will be between two people we have never heard of.
Trump answer to Flake! Go ahead make my day.
I wish him all the best
Dude, your name is Flake. It’s a miracle you were elected senator.
Trump will be out of office before then most likely.
