Republican Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.), who is not ruling out a challenge to President Trump in 2020, says the Republican Party has succumbed to a "propaganda-fueled, dystopian view of conservatism." 

"It has not been in my plans to run for president, but I have not ruled it out," the senator said Friday at the "Politics & Eggs" speaker series at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire, according to WMUR 9 News. 

"We have ... succumbed to what can only be described as a propaganda-fueled, dystopian view of conservatism," he said. 

The 55-year-old Flake is one of Trump's loudest critics in the Senate, and is the author of "Conscience of a Conservative," a book that describes the state of the conservative movement under Trump's populism. In the book, he describes the current political moment as the "spasms of a dying party." 

Flake gave the 20-minute "Politics & Eggs" speech in New Hampshire, a key early primary state in the nominating process.

"I hope that that someone does run in the Republican primary, somebody to challenge the president. I think that the Republicans want to be reminded what it means to be a traditional, decent Republican."

traditional, decent Republican

= one who says one thing to get elected and then fails to adhere to the principles/wishes of those who voted for him
