    The compelling case for Jeff Flake in a presidential primary would be that he has a long record of both pure conservatism and basic decency.

        for starters, he was very helpful to then-Rep. Giffords and her staff after she was shot - and didn't talk about it.

        They are friends, which is an expectation. Also, should we consider voting against background checks in the same article to be decent?

        I suppose that's up to each of us. I suspect that if he ran, he'd run on demonstrating greater decency than POTUS.

        Voting to take away health care from 22 million people != decency.

        And he lies to his constituents, without remorse, so not basic decency, more like what passes for conservative decency.

        Flake Voted for Trump votes against healthcare and against background checks. Not what decency looks like.
