Flake will probably run in 2020 and as a Republican.
Trump was able to take the pressure off before by dipping out of the spotlight as a businessman. The only good of him will be to remind people how bad being up to your neck is shit is.
Trump's name is coming off the Panama city hotel & residence (pure money laundering apartments). One of the most financially corrupt places on Earth can't find people amoral enough to stay in the hotel.
I own a place not far away, Trump's flagship is a mostly empty building. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latin-america/panama-hotel-owners-want-trump-s-name-property-n838431
Flake's main points:
1. "For without truth, and a principled fidelity to truth and to shared facts, Mr. President, our democracy will not last."
2. "2017 was a year which saw the truth -- objective, empirical, evidence-based truth -- more battered and abused than any other in the history of our country, at the hands of the most powerful figure in our government."
3. "It was the year in which an unrelenting daily assault on the constitutionally-protected free press was launched by that same White House, an assault that is as unprecedented as it is unwarranted."
4. "It is a testament to the condition of our democracy that our own president uses words infamously spoken by Josef Stalin to describe his enemies."
5. "The president has it precisely backward -- despotism is the enemy of the people. The free press is the despot's enemy, which makes the free press the guardian of democracy."
6. "When a figure in power reflexively calls any press that doesn't suit him "fake news," it is that person who should be the figure of suspicion, not the press."
7. "Mr. President, so powerful is the presidency that the damage done by the sustained attack on the truth will not be confined to the President's time in office."
8. "Here in America, we do not pay obeisance to the powerful -- in fact, we question the powerful most ardently"
9. "No matter how powerful, no president will ever have dominion over objective reality."
10. "A major difference between politicians and the free press is that the press usually corrects itself when it gets something wrong. Politicians don't."
11. "No longer can we compound attacks on truth with our silent acquiescence. No longer can we turn a blind eye or a deaf ear to these assaults on our institutions."
12. "An American president who cannot take criticism -- who must constantly deflect and distort and distract -- who must find someone else to blame -- is charting a very dangerous path."
13. "2018 must be the year in which the truth takes a stand against power that would weaken it."
14. "Together, united in the purpose to do our jobs under the Constitution, without regard to party or party loyalty, let us resolve to be allies of the truth -- and not partners in its destruction."
15. "To be very clear, to call the Russia matter a 'hoax' -- as the President has many times -- is a falsehood."
16. "Every word that a president utters projects American values around the world."
17. "Between the mighty and the modest, truth is the great leveler."
18. "Not only has the past year seen an American president borrow despotic language to refer to the free press, but it seems he has in turn inspired dictators and authoritarians with his own language."
19. "In our own country, from the trivial to the truly dangerous, it is the range and regularity of the untruths we see that should be cause for profound alarm, and spur to action."
20. "If we compromise the truth for the sake of our politics, we are lost."

What are you wil;ling to bet on it? i will bet a thousand bucks to the charity of your choice, your supposedly rich, so lets do it, if you think Flake will run on the republican side you have your head up your ass, he is creating credibility as a news person, that would ruin his persona.
Lets bet on it, or are you just blowing smoke up peoples ass?
Lets bet on it, or are you just blowing smoke up peoples ass?
And what if he does both?
Flake is just another grandstanding, drama queen media whore. Just do your job motherfucker, without all the feigned outrage.
LOL got to give it to Trump on this one, Krugmans wrong prediction was yet another epic failure on krugmans part, bet the people he talks to were selling the whole way up. This prediction by Krugman is almost up there with his prediction that the internet would be little more than a fax machine cause people on the internet have nothing to talk about.
Not to forget that Soros took it up the bo-bo bigtime too.
That's sad.

And being a delusional leftist, albeit it a leftist pretending to be a republican, he probably thinks he has a chance in hell of winning. The guy is just another attention whore. Media is where he destined to land.
Is Jeff Flake Too Nice for the Senate? - The Atlantic
"....The audience battered the senator with one hostile question after another, then interrupted each of his answers. When Flake tried to defend Republicans’ decision to block Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court confirmation, a man near the front barked “Bullshit!” while the rest of the crowd chanted “Shame on you!” When a constituent mentioned the shooting death of an 8-year-old boy in a question about gun laws, Flake began, “As a father, I can’t imagine—” and was promptly met with impatient shouts of “Answer the question!” At one point, a man with a buzz cut walked up and flipped him off with both hands before casually ambling back to his seat.
Flake seems as if he has just landed in a time machine from some bygone era of polite disagreement.
Throughout the ordeal, Flake remained almost suspiciously good-natured. He waited patiently for each noisy round of jeering to pass, then smiled and invited the next question. After a while, his preternatural niceness began to irritate some people. “I hope behind that smile that you’re doing some serious soul-searching,” one man reprimanded.
As the night wore on, even some of Flake’s detractors expressed grudging respect for his stamina. By the time the town hall wrapped up, he had been going for two and a half hours—blowing well past the scheduled end time. But he noticed a small group of constituents congregated in front of the stage, so he stuck around to chat.
These lingerers were not all, or even mostly, fans, but as Flake talked with them, the vitriol that had permeated the evening seemed to dissipate. Several people thanked him for staying; a couple of them requested his office’s help navigating a tricky bureaucratic issue. One constituent—a friendly guy who would later reveal himself to me as an MSNBC connoisseur—leaned in to deliver Flake a parting message. “Even if you disagree with us on legislation and everything, when the president says these insane things, if … [you] can just stand up and go, ‘We don’t all believe that’—that’s all we’re asking. Just stand up.”
Flake nodded affably. “I appreciate that,” he said, smiling. “I’ve tried to do so.”
Not quite satisfied, the constituent took another run at him. “You’ve got to be a little more …” he began, but adjectives failed him. As the senator moved on to the next handshake, the man’s words hung in the air: A little more what? Brash? Loud? A little more like Donald Trump? Is there no longer a place in politics for someone like Jeff Flake?
"
So he handled them and won over some. Possible VP at least? Mormon missionary mind tricks perhaps.

Vice President Flake? Can he change his first name to Snow for the sake of the times?
