Just a few days ago, Arizona senator Jeff Flake announced that he would not seek re-election. He blamed the decision on his personal distaste for President Trump. It was a silly ruse; Flake was at 22% approval in Arizona and was behind in hypothetical primary matchups by double digits. There was no way he was going to win, so he made a splash by blaming Trump. Amazingly, it didn't take long for Flake's lies to be revealed fully. We get news today that Flake is now working with a group that is polling how he would fare if he ran as an independent.
It's disgusting that a senator cannot be honest with the public even when he is leaving office. Why is it impossible for the senator to just say that he realizes he can't win so he won't be running again?
After news of the poll came out, Flake again said that he won't be running as an independent cause he's a Republican. The poll results were not released, but you can imagine from this news that they must have not been good for Flake's prospects as an independent.
