    Default Libertarian Amash mulling run to oust Putin's boy Trump

    There is growing buzz that Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) will leave the Republican Party to mount a challenge against President Trump as the Libertarian Party’s presidential candidate.

    Amash, a former attorney who was first elected to Congress during the 2010 Tea Party wave, has thrust himself into the spotlight by becoming the first Republican in the House to support impeachment proceedings for Trump based on special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings.

    In interviews this year, Amash has toyed with the idea of abandoning the Republican Party to run for president as a Libertarian. That could have major implications for Amash’s home state of Michigan, which Trump carried by fewer than 11,000 votes in 2016.

    There are a lot of Libertarian Party members actively encouraging Rep. Amash to switch parties and seek the Libertarian nomination,” said Nicholas Sarwark, the chairman of the Libertarian National Committee. “This is probably the most organized recruitment effort I’ve seen going back to 2012 when people were trying to recruit [former Texas Rep.] Ron Paul.”

    He lost standing in our community this week.

    We don't care much for Trump - but we really can't stand anyone that stands with dems as they thumb their nose at the rule of law

    Schiff and his ilk are scum - and Amash has decided to swim in the dirty pool

    I don’t expect he will get much help from the RNC come election time.

    He votes with the radical Democrat Socialists most of time. A RINO.

    ^^ this is why the Libertarian Party attracts so few supporters, ask Ross Perot and the two Paul morons

    everyone knows they're merely Republicans by another name and constitute the 'hard core' in hard core conservatism - not reflective of the ideology of the majority like our first president George Washington espoused:


    “As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.”

    He votes with the radical Democrat Socialists most of time. A RINO. Not a libertarian, more aligned with Socialism (the Democrat party).

    shit stains such as yourself really have no idea what you are talking about.

    your entire philosophy is about might making right. you get the votes, and you shove your views down onto other people. Perot was more along your way of thinking.

    Politico:

    “Amash, a 39-year-old libertarian, has long been a lone wolf in Congress, routinely bucking GOP leadership and defying Trump on a number of issues throughout the past two years.

    But fellow Freedom Caucus members said his latest comments were “dead wrong”, “shocking” and went too far, even as they simultaneously called Amash a friend and emphasized that he has the right to his own opinion.”

    A RINO trying to get traction to run against President Trump in 2920.

    Lots of luck with that.
