In not running for re-election, Sen. Flake basically announces he's ditching the GOP as we know it https://t.co/z0C2LmaLvt pic.twitter.com/BJNlNTFLE6

Sounds like he’s had enough.
Hey @JeffFlake: if this is really the reason, it's dumb. You can seek reelection without taking that path. https://t.co/g51bCpmCYP pic.twitter.com/eOPIcUXgT8

This could spell big trouble for the Senate GOP.
Wow. Jeff Flake is out.
He saw the writing on the wall. He was not going to win his primary.

Flake leaving is bad news. Disagreed with him at times but he's a man of principle. GOP needs more thoughtful leaders and debate, not less.
