It doesn’t matter.
IMO there’s no way in hell another R gets elected with the D base cranking up like it is.
Trump seems to have co-opted most of the potential competition including Romney, Rubio, Cruz, Corker, and others. Doesn’t seem as if Flake will run. Only one I can think of is Kasich, and in this Republican Party, he hasn’t a chance.
Though anytime an incumbent President is faced with a primary challenge, it’s good for the opposition. Of course, this is all assuming Trump makes it that far…
From some great big dude in a prison jumpsuit who used to vote GOP maybe.
How did “Trump Challenger” work out for the Republicans in that last election?
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) said in an interview aired Saturday that he thinks President Donald Trump “will have a challenge from the Republican Party.”
What is this “Republican Party” Flake speaks of? That Party he’s thinking of only exists in his head and it’s probably not coming back. It’s an existential question they’re afraid to address.
So what.
He’ll still get the nomination from all the greedy, racist perverts that are 99% of the party.
Flakey is a phony. His voting record proves this is all pearl-clutching bullshit.
The Trumplicans are a stack of hollow logs. With truth as its axe, Mueller and his team chop away, looking for any tiny piece of useful wood, before burning the rest.
Fuck you, Flake. Democrats could run Zombie Reagan for President, and Republicans would still say the Democratic candidate was from the far left of the party.
Flake needs to caucus with the Dems and actually do something to address 45’s destruction of political norms…
Other than that, he can go fuck himself with a wire brush…
Uh, I think it may be Pence who gets a challenge in the Republican primary.
Flake needs to FO&D.
He was a phony piece of shit yesterday.
He is a phony piece of shit today.
He will be a phony piece of shit tomorrow.
Really?
I hear he is a lock for president-for-life.
Of Cell Block D.
Hint, Jeffy-Jeff: he’ll have a challenger.
It won’t be you.
“…and I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll bloooow your house down” says tough guy Flake.
As if. The number of people still willing to associate themselves with the republicun party is shrinking and, with 12 states holding completely closed primaries and another 21 states with semi-closed primaries (many of which are closed for R’s whereas D’s have opened their primary to include I’s and undeclared) the likelihood of a reasonable and/or moderate R winning over Fat Nixon (assuming he isn’t in jail or dead) is small enough to drown in a bathtub. (here is a good guide to closed and semi-closed primaries)
His base is all he has left but that base is the GOP. I agree with @Lacuna-Synecdoche - even Reagan couldn’t peel off King Tub’s base.
With 2 years, 8 months until the next prez election, there will be many more dead R’s who won’t be voting and the rising generation prefers D’s 2 to 1.
I have yet to see a Repug running here who will admit they are a Repug. They are saying everything but. They are calling themselves Constitutional Conservatives, Trusted Conservatives, Thoughtful Conservatives.
Nobody will put Repug on their goddamn signs.
What’s shocking is how quickly it happened, tena. While canvassing for Kerry in 2004, I was yelled off of a lot of front porches. By 2008, no one was even willing to admit that they’d supported W.
Yet here we are just 16 months past Nov 2016 and the party candidates won’t even admit they are affiliated with that party.
Pretty stunning. And fucking hilarious!
Are your soothsaying skills really so ’ in tune ’ ? ? …
If they were… you wouldn’t be bailing out now … would ya ? ? …
donnie won’t even be there in 2020 … you dumb shit …
The breath coming out of your mouth might as well be a fart in the wind ----
Not going to matter who slimes there way to the top of the gop ticket.
Because:
Same here.
It is fucking hilarious. One would think if that’s who they are they’d stand behind it, but No.
