Amash Challenger & Never Trumper hits Trump Lower
Big League Politics ^ | Shane Trejo

Posted on 06/18/2019 7:45:12 PM PDT by Michigan Bowhunter

Michigan state representative Jim Lower is advertising himself as a pro-Trump conservative, but he is closely tied to former Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley, who led the ‘Never Trump’ movement in Michigan with Reps. Justin Amash and Fred Upton heading into the 2016 election.

Lower even boasted that he would model himself after Justin Amash when he first won elected office, claiming that following in Amash’s lead would “give the citizens in the county some input and see each and every vote.”

Lower claims “he grew “disenchanted” with Amash after he came out against Trump after repeatedly voting for Amash and helping with his campaigns, but the two men share a powerful close ally in former LG and state house rep. Brian Calley, who was the ringleader of the ‘Never Trump’ movement in 2016.

So I guess what you’re saying is that they are all the same brand of crap floating in the same “sewage treatment pond!”

Read carefully and you’ll see this is NOTHING more than an innuendo-filled hit job on Jim Lower as he dares to challenge Amash. INNUENDO SUCKS! The writer will need to up his game as this is pretty thin gruel.

Sounds like the same strategy that fake Tea Party candidates used to get themselves elected. A pox on all their families.

The GOPe crowd always claim to be the best friends of Donald J. Trump.

Lower’s texts and I have received them could convince one to support Amash instead.

I might not agree with Amash on impeachment but Amash is closer to the Constitution as a Libertarian than many of the run of the mill Republicans in Mr. Lower’s camp.

Lower wasn't a Never Trumper. He's a big Trump Supporter.

Lower at one time supported Amash. Now he wants Amash's seat.

Lower once worked for Brian Calley. That was before Calley wimped out after the Access Holywood tapes, and dropped his support for Trump.

Calley eventually said that it was a mistake to drop his support for Trump.

This article is BS and probably a hit piece.

I bet Trump comes out and supports Lower.

Amash is a fraud. His support for impeachment Trump and Lower's full support of Trump and his agenda is all one needs to know about who to support in this race.

Any Republican that supports the impeachment of Trump isn't for the Constitution, much less "close" to it.

He used to be decent but seems to have gone nutters since Trump became president. Most people I know in our district think the same thing. No opinion on Lower yet.

Hold on... Justin Amash, who has been one of the MOST outspoken anti-Trumpers since DAY ONE of Trump's presidency, is going to try to paint his primary opponent as not pro-Trump enough?

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

I suppose next we'll be hearing Bernie Sanders accuse his RAT opponents of being too pro-socialist.

Agreed. This is nothing but a Never Trump hit piece by rino’s running scared. They saw the turnout last night and they are terrified.

Very interesting post; thread. Thanks. Levels of deceit and backpedalling are mind-boggling. “None of the Above” would be our best option on that ballot.

The amount of GOPe sycophants on this thread is astounding.
True colors are being waived in Michigan.

FYI all, I’m in Twitmo for a week, so you won’t see anything there.

Enjoy!
