In December 2019, Amash voted in favor of the two articles of impeachment against President Trump pushed forward by House Democrats.

Alrighty then...

He’ll get the votes of those Democrats who can’t vote for Senile Joe.

Good. He can split the Democrat vote. The Never-Trump vote is already on the Democrat side. Now they can go to Amash instead of Biden.

I’ll send him a donation because he’ll take votes away from Sleepy Joe.

He would have a better chance to oust Eva Braun Whitmer, but he has grandiose libertarian dreams.

I think Amash takes away as much from Dems.

Why do you need an exploratory committee to run for the Libertarian Party nomination?

Don’t you just file paperwork with the party announcing your intention, go to the convention, give a speech and you either progress to the next round of voting or you don’t.

It’s not like it’s a major party. It just thinks it is.

He is supporting the democrats.

Exactly. Pull enough from Michigan and we have Crazy Joe for a brief while before Hillary or Kamala or Stacey Abrams takes over.

I hope he chokes on it.

"Americans are ready for practical approaches based in humility and trust of the people."

He is not going to get any Democrat votes talking like that.

According to Democrats the public is not smart enough and can not be trusted to:

Save their own money for retirement.

Buy their own health care.

Decide if they should stay at home and hide from the flu or not.

Teach their own children.

Use or modify their own land as they see fit.

And myriad other things that Democrat think that only the government can decide for the lowly private citizen.

How many vote a would this guy get? Take away from Biden, mostly.

This fool will probably take more votes from Biden than from Trump. He has connections to China too.

Run, Justin, Run!
