Isolated in GOP, Congressman Justin Amash considers third-party presidential run
MLIVE ^ | April 1, 2019 | Malachi Barrett

Justin Amash is reconsidering his place in a party he is at odds with, isolated from Republicans that have largely bent to the will of the president.

The Michigan Republican is gaining a national following as a Congressman who isn’t afraid to buck the Republican line, often going to toe to toe with the party’s biggest star, President Donald Trump. Amash is a frequent critic of the president, often slamming Trump on Twitter, accusing him of violating the constitution and attacking Trump’s character.

Then why did he run for office as a Republican in the first place?

ANY third party run is going to syphon off more Dem votes than from Trump.

Great post--and it will be way over the heads of the MSM (and hopefully Dem strategists as well).

Trump is not your grandfather's Republican--the old rules do not apply to him.

We should be happy if twelve third party candidates are on the ballot.

The Palestinian Paulistinian strikes again. While we share some libertarian positions with the Paultards, they are members of a cult and thus must be purged from the GOP.

Amash is at odds with The Republican party because he’s not a republican he’s a libertarian. He runs as a republican because he can’t win as a libertarian.

Dissatisfaction with Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton drove historic support for third-party candidates in the last presidential election. Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson had the best third-party performance in a presidential election since 1996.

Yeah, that 3.28% really tore up the field...

Doucebag thinking of volunteering for the Sanders campaign eh? I’d call him a traitor but he was never a loyal member of the party in the first place.

Where’s that one guy who always defended this twerp?

The only reason he’d run is to try to elect the Stalinist rodent by putting Michigan in the Demon camp.
