Sen. Jeff Flake may run for president in 2020

"I do believe is the president is running for re-election, if he continues on the path that he's on, that's going to leave a huge swath of voters looking for something else," Flake said on Sunday.

He predicted President Donald Trump will face an independent challenge in 2020, leaving open the possibility he might be the one to run against the president.

When asked if he was open to running for president, Flake replied, "I don't rule anything out but it's not in my plans."

When asked if you would more likely run for the Republican nomination against Trump or as an Independent candidate, Flake said that he hasn't thought that "deeply about it."

Probably much of the same crowd as the last time, plus a few extra added, like Flake.

He spoke words but his votes were pro Twitler.
