    "Somebody does need to challenge the President," from within the GOP in 2020, Jeff Flake, who did not rule out running himself, tells CNN. "[T]he country needs to be reminded what it means to be conservative... and what it means to be decent." pic.twitter.com/ckpGNjJach

        I have an idea, Flake and Collins can hint that they’re running as a team, get months of media attention and then “flake out” at the end - they’ve been good at that.

        Trump is the GOP’s essence. A primary challenge would be pure masturbation and a huge self-own for Flake/Kasich/whatever. Stop saying Republicans are better than Trump, they really really are not.

        Jeff Flake has ZERO to say--he never stood up to Trump--not one bit

        I can already see Flake running for President and giving great speeches on the campaign trail, only to eventually waffle back and forth and agreeing to everything trump says and does.

        They will. All a Republican needs is one disgruntled billionaire to bankroll the campaign for them and they can be a spoiler for Trump’s re-election. But I still say there’s a slightly better than 50% chance that Trump doesn’t run again.

        It's impossible to challenge Trump from within the Republican Party. Trump is the Republican Party.

        What's Trump's approval with Republicans these days? I really don't see a primary challenge knocking him out.

        If Trump gets a challenge, only ONE person should come forward, no splitting the votes btw 13 ppl. Everyone in an open primary state should vote 4 his opponent, do what you want in the gen election, but the strategy is to get him out!

        It would be good I guess to show that Trump is absolutely loved and supported by the voters of his party more than an other politician in history, but why besides that? To laugh and Jeff flake?

        Didn't the RNC sort of merged with Trump's 2020 campaign? Won't that make it much harder for a primary challenge?
