What's the deal with Justin Amash?

[Jonty30]

Why does he hate Trump so much?

While I doubt it, I will ask. Is this anyway a principled stance he is taking?

[VanDeKoik]

And even at that, GR isnt even that left-wing like you see in Chicago, San Fran, or Seattle.

We dont have any ANTIFA nonsense here, we actually keep city streets clean, and we dont have an insanely high homeless population.

[LIConFem]

He hates Trump for a few reasons, but I think the biggest is that he's of Palestinian and Syrian descent and is upset that DJT moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem and recognized the Golan as Israeli territory.

He's just another Jew-hating Arab with a chip on his shoulder.

[Jonty30]

I don’t think it’s possible to have a gold backed currency. There isn’t enough gold or silver in the world to support an economy the size of America, much less anybody else.

[Celtic Conservative]

The ridiculously cold winters with lake effect snow up to your ass tends to reduce the homeless population issue one way or another😀. Yeah, you're right. GR is liberal, but not ridiculously so.

He knows he can’t survuve a republican primary... he looked at his numbers and decided he’d have a better chance being re elected as a democrat.... that’s all nothing principled about him.

Just like flake and corker before him... just another egotistical nevertrumper

[RoosterRedux]

I understand that, but what goal would he have in mind by trying to damage the Republican party and Trump in particular?

Rep. Justin Amash Quits Republican Party.

Right on time.;-)

[Ouderkirk]

Amash’s Tekton tools are made in China.

Tariffs negatively affect his business model.

The key is: you don’t hear the guy from Harbor Freight complaining. He may be as unhappy as Amash, but he’s keeping his mouth shut...for now.

[fatman6502002]

His family business has most of their production facilities in China. He wants the tariffs on chinese stuff removed. His stance is based upon his family business suffering because most of their work is done in china. Either way he’s a scumbag.

[miss marmelstein]

Uh, think again. He called for the impeachment of Donald Trump.

[thoughtomator]

We can stop pretending Amash is principle-driven.

[dynachrome]

Did he ever call for the impeachment of obozo? Without looking, I bet he did not.

[Jonty30]

Yes we can, since the facts about him have been becoming clear.

I’m glad I asked what his deal was.

[miss marmelstein]

I doubt it. We are now getting libs pretending to be conservatives vying for office. We will be seeing more of this while the real stupid Republicans sit there and take it.

[central_va]

He is a Free Traitor™ that sold out his business to China. He is a globalist hack.

[norwaypinesavage]

When you’re consumed by hate, to you, hate seems principled. For evidence, simply review the 2019 Democrat presidential debates. None of these candidates seems to recognize his own hatred.

[central_va]

Tariffs bring in massive revenue but Free Traitors™ like Amash hate them. They are fiscal hypocrites.

[grey_whiskers]

Low-level, local party functionaries stamp out anyone who looks patriotic rather than swampy, before they can get anywhere.

[central_va]

He is a self centered conservative Libertarian not a Patriotic Conservative.

Fixed it.

I hate the GOP. I only vote for them to prove to myself that I am not a socialist. Over the last 30 years everything these greedy globalist hacks that I vote for do creates more socialist in the USA. It is a perplexing situation.
