Flake eyes 2020 primary challenge to stop Trump

Jeff Flake has a direct message for the Republicans of New Hampshire: Someone needs to stop Donald Trump. And Flake, a Republican senator from Arizona, may stand up against the Republican president in 2020 — either as a Republican or an independent — if no one else does.

"It's not in my plan to run for president, but I am not ruling it out. Somebody needs to stand up for traditional Republicanism," Flake told The Associated Press in an interview. "Somebody needs to raise that, for nothing else than to give people hope that that decent party will be back. We'll get through this."

The only people who hate Flake more than the Democratic Party is Trump’s base.

He’d be lucky to scratch 60 million voters.

But I wonder if these two would run together as Independents.

Not that I would vote for them!
