Jeff Flake says he will not run for president, signs on as CBS contributor

Source: The Hill

Former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) announced Tuesday morning that he would not run for the White House in 2020.

“I have always said that I do hope that there is a Republican who challenges the president in the primary. I still hope that somebody does, but that somebody won't be me. I will not be a candidate,” Flake said on “CBS This Morning.”

Flake, a frequent critic of President Trump, had been floated as a possible 2020 contender to challenge the president for the Republican Party nomination.

Between Flake and waffles, guess which I'm more excited about. At least with waffles, you know where they stand. In your mouth. With syrup and butter. Flake is mushy and unreliable like a soggy sandwich.

You excite no one, Jeff. Kudos to CBS for this "get" that no one wanted.

Just because he sent out a few tepid criticisms of tiny hands.


Peace
