Former Sen. Jeff Flake said he's not voting for President Donald Trump and thinks the GOP will be better off if he loses his reelection bid.
PHOENIX – Former Sen. Jeff Flake said he won't be voting for President Donald Trump this year, and he thinks the Republican Party would be better off if Trump loses his reelection bid.
It is the kind of candor that has left Flake effectively excommunicated from his party and a pariah to most Democrats, especially after his key support for confirming now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.Trump, at least for now, didn't respond to a man whose political career he derailed. "Oh, a sound defeat, no doubt," Flake said."Long term for the Republican Party, you bet. And for conservatism as well."
"I don’t know anyone who thinks that this is the future of the party. This is a demographic cul-de-sac we’re in, if nothing else," Flake said."Anger and resentment only go so far; you have to have a governing philosophy. I don’t know of any of my colleagues who really believe this is it."
