this Amash dude is a scumbag...

close to 4.5M voted for the idiot pothead Gary Johnson in 2016... including six-digit vote totals in many battleground states.

that can’t happen in 2020 - hopefully with all these heavy gov’t lockdowns, those libertarian will come to Trump.

They (Jesse V. and Justin A.) sense weakness in the two major candidates. Trump’s can partially disappear if the economy recovers. Biden’s is permanent.

He is supporting the democrats.
*****************************
His heart and his family’s wallets belong with the Chinese. It’s as simple as that. He opposes Trump because Trump is obstructing China.

As I predicted. His goal will be to deliver Michigan to Plugs.

He will get maybe 20 voters. And no, he won’t deliver anything to Demented Biteme except a bill for his services.

He was put in office thanks to that Amway money. He doesn't belong in office, and needs to be put out of office.

Ventura would be better off seeking the Libertarian nomination and taking out that turd Amash at the LP convention. Ventura must have moved far left if seriously wants the Green nod. Odd, he wasn’t known as a tree hugger when he was Governor. But hey, our very own FReeper Phil Collins is apparently now the Prohibition Party nominee...

Ventura absolutely should run as a Green. Let him split the loony toons votes with the Demonrats.

Many here are pretty sanguine about Mister Amash's candidacy.

I'm not.

Third party spoilers can attract enough peeps to do significant damage.

Please consider, for example, the horrible creep that was Ross Perot. He knew just enough talking points to attract just enough GOPers/conservatives to a candidacy that was never going to win a thing ... and Perot knew it all along.

He was settling a score against Bush the elder. He was just that sick.

I give you the "Losertarian" party.

They won't win, but they can ruin.

That, my good FRiends, is their goal.

What would anyone wager that Amash gets funding from some clandestine Dem sources?

Amash has no appeal among Republican voters other than the NeverTrump fringe.

NeverTrump hero David French tweeted praise for Amash today and was rewarded with a barrage of well deserved hate.

This is good news for his House seat (presuming his “exploration” leads to a discovery within himself of a willingness to waste his time)

Dems on political wire (it’s hard to read that shit) are torn between thinking he’ll help Biden (minority it seems) or help Trump by taking Never Trump “Republican” votes. Lots of posts fearful of the later.

As I said I expect him to do much worse than Johnson, including in Michigan. And they were always going to nominate SOMEONE.

He has appeal to both NT swine because of his impeachment vote (obviously people that won’t vote for Trump) and hardcore Paulbot true believers (more of whom will vote Trump than Biden certainly but probably good candidates to vote third party regardless). I take it he’d play up his lone vote against Virus stimulus.

Ventura would be a great LBT nominee for us (I think) but he’s interested in the Greens, I have no idea if they would be willing to give him their nomination, he obviously has way more name rec than the gleep they are set to nominate, Howie Hawkins.

Both parties will be in court, fighting for ballot access since petition gathering isn’t happening right now.
