YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDuring his retirement interview with C-SPAN's Steve Scully, Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) discussed possibly running for president. Excerpts below. Full interview airs Saturday, October 13 at 10pm ET on C-SPAN.
Jeff Flake: "I do hope that somebody does run in the primary against the president."
Jeff Flake: "I fear for the future of the party if we don't remember who we are and what principled conservatism really is. And decency, we've got to get back to it."
Jeff Flake "The president is who he is and I'm not sure that's going to change but when you see him at a rally, the disturbing thing isn't so much what he says anymore, it’s the cheers from people behind him, the chants of 'lock her up' for example, that's just unseemly. And it does make me fear that it's going to be a longer process to get out of this than it should be. But we will. We have to. Anger and resentment are not a governing philosophy."
Jeff Flake: "This is the president's party right now. No doubt. To win in a Republican primary around the country you have to really embrace the president's policies and condone his behavior. That's the bottom line right now, but it won't always be that way."
