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.

libertarians doing what they do; getting liberals elected to high office.

Besides that. If this clown runs and gets enough vote away from Trump in the general, he will swing Michigan over to the New National Socialist party of America

Needs to be squished like a bug. Trump is drawing the battle lines and it’s time to pick sides.

Idiot.
Evil idiot.
He knows he has ZERO chance, but he can hurt Trump and help the Dems if some other fools vote for him, instead of Trump.
To: GuavaCheesePuff
I actually agree with Amash most of the time. However, I have to characterize him as being willing to die on the wrong hill. In politics you have to pick your battles wisely.

Sounds like he should be more outspoken against the GOP leadership in Congress, not President Trump.
