Sen. Jeff Flake abruptly announced Tuesday that will not run for re-election after all in the 2018 midterm elections, according to The Arizona Republican."Here's the bottom line: The path that I would have to travel to get the Republican nomination is a path I'm not willing to take, and that I can't in good conscience take," Flake told The Arizona Republic in a phone interview."It would require me to believe in positions I don't hold on such issues as trade and immigration and it would require me to condone behavior that I cannot condone."He is expected to officially announce his decision on the Senate floor, the report said."There may not be a place for a Republican like me in the current Republican climate or the current Republican Party," Flake said.Flake, 54, had been expected to run for re-election, but has been especially critical of President Trump and the Republican Party over the last several months. The president attacked Flake on Twitter and his former White House chief strategist, Steve Bannon, has said he's backing Kelli Ward, who had launched a primary challenge to Flake. Ward said over the summer that Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, should resign from his seat because of his brain cancer diagnosis.Flake has served in the Senate since 2013 and previously served in the House from 2003 until 2013. He was on the scene during the June 2017 GOP congressional baseball practice shooting that left Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana, wounded.
What a pussy.
What a pussy. You took the words right out of my mouth.Youre a fucking politician. Your job is to back issues and positions you dont actually believe or agree with so that you can stay in office and not have to get a job.

Every time legislation gets passed shit gets worse.
I unfortunately heard his talk - I thought he was just whining up a storm, typical politician. My take on it was he talked about taking the high road while taking the low road slamming trump.
Flake is trailing by 15 to 20 points. He's the coach who takes his name our of the running when he doesn't get the job
Flake is trailing by 15 to 20 points. He's the coach who takes his name our of the running when he doesn't get the job Trump got 48% of the az vote. Clinton 45% never trumpers have a good shot next year.

Looks like i stay on task about as well as you do.You did better though. No mention of Trumpanzees, white trash or downtrodden immigrants. I concede the point.
