Ew.
If Justin China had a problem with the Congressional Leadership, he should have teamed up with Trump who is having similar Issues.
The real reason why Amash is so butthurt is because his Chinese business interests have taken a hit these last couple of years.
“...There is no seat at the table for a Democrat like Amash. ...”
**********************************
But there are apparently plenty of seats set at the Chinese table reserved for Americans willing to sell out America and Americans FOR MONEY.
Good riddance to this vile Never-Trumper.
“third party fantasy” is tautological.
He is a conservative? Who knew?
The Republican party should sue him to reclaim their support funds. They probably wouldn’t win but it would hammer his finances.
Just “Zot” him and get it over with.
What really needs to happen is for all the GOP RINO Trump haters to join the Democrat Trump haters in an Americans Last party and everyone else to have a Populist GOP.
“I have no doubt that Amash loves his country and is deeply disturbed by Trump, despite the latter’s remarkable conservative achievements.”
This statement clearly outlines the author’s logical incoherence.
I have no problem with someone who votes entirely on principle, but in a legislative setting this will usually get you absolutely nowhere. You make your case and garner support among your fellow legislators, but at the end of the day you're voting up or down on any given piece of legislation. Voting against something just because "it isn't good enough" is about the dumbest thing you can possibly do in Washington. You end up always being in a tiny minority no matter which party controls Congress, and you're completely useless as a legislator.
So now Mr. Amash will be known as Rep. Justin Amash (POO) ... where "POO" stands for "Party of One."
Well, he’s bound to only pick up Democrat (and RINO and NeverTrumper) voters who wouldn’t support Trump anyway. :|
I’d say he has slipped below the waves without much of a splash.
Amash just wanted to avoid getting humiliated in a primary.
Which is good to know.
“Rep. Justin Amash is the latest conservative “
stopped reading at that point.
But there is in fact a very simple and good reason our country tends towards a political party duality. It’s the presidency. In parliamentary democracies, where legislators appoint a prime minister, coalitions of multiple parties can easily share power. But here, in America, there is only one president, often called the most powerful person on earth. That person can only belong to one party.
Remember also, that the president needs to have a majority of electoral votes, otherwise the House of Representatives picks the president. This fact also has pushed us towards having two major parties, rather than three or more major parties. If the House picks the president, he needs a majority of states to elect the president. At every point along the way, the president needs an absolute majority of votes somewhere, in order to be elected.
I’m no big Trump fan either...I was always repulsed by his immoral life......but..... you can’t argue that he’s been the best republican president in history. You can’t argue that he’s actually doing the things we have been advocating for decades....
people like Amash, and Christal and the other never Trumpers evidently were just playin us for fools.
