WASHINGTON—A Republican stood on the Senate floor Tuesday and delivered a detailed indictment of just about everything about the Republican president. Flake announced Tuesday he would not seek re-election during a speech clearly directed at President Trump. “There may not be a place for a Republican like me in the current Republican climate or the current Republican Party,” he told the Arizona Republic. And that he can’t find a place in the Republican Party is bizarre by historical standards. That’s what the Republican Party stood for in the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s,” said Terry Sullivan, a University of North Carolina political science professor who studies the presidency.
