He really, really can't stand Pres. Trump.
The remarks came during a debate titled "The Republican Party Should Not Re-Nominate Trump." ABC News correspondent John Donovan asked Flake if he would be "willing to lose a cycle for the Republican Party because of the principles you're arguing."
"Oh, yes," Flake said. "Yes. You sacrifice a generation. You think, 'Man, we might get some policy goals in the next year or two'—look at the long term. Look at the long term, at what you're doing for the party, because people don't want to be associated with it."
To make sure he was clear on Flake's point, Donovan asked, "So, to boil it down, it's better for a Democrat to win in 2020 if Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, than for Donald Trump to win?"
"Yes," Flake said."
