Independent Michigan Rep. Justin Amash speculated Tuesday that some retiring Republican lawmakers may seek office again once President Trump leaves office.
Amash, theorizing that numerous White House officials who have defended President Trumps call to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky told CNNs Erin Burnett they feel trapped in that position.
I hear that from my colleagues on the House floor he added.
They wish they werent doing this, and frankly I think a lot of the retirements that we hear about as well are just trying to ride out this president and they might think of coming back into public office later on, once this presidents gone, Amash said.

"I think many of them are closet RATS whove infiltrated the GOP." Undoubtedly some are. If you were an international leftist, and were trying to push a leftist agenda on America, you would definitely try to plant your people in the opposition side.

In other words, once the outsider is gone its back to criminal business as usual. Infuriating isn't it?
Trump’s doing everything these lazy-ass, corrupt Republicans promised to do for the last several decades.

IOW, Trump’s example is destroying the lucrative career of the ruling class where public service now means you serve the public rather than expecting the public to serve you.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.Prophetic.

Amash speaks for nameless politicians on CNN? Bwhahahaha.
Thanks for posting this reality.
Deep State Unnamed Sources and Multiple whistle blowers are such busy he/she/its.
The unnamed He/she/its and unnamed Multiple whistle blowers work 24/7 for all the liberal tv stations and major fish wraps lying about our President and having those lies pose as news!
Of course this occurs/happens only in the drugged out and AIDS/STD infected gay minds of the so called reporters and their editors writing/editing the newest serious anti Trump fake news from Multiple unidentified whistle blowers and unidentified sources.
Question of the day: What else are these Deep State Unidentified Whistle Blowers and Amash/Schiff, blowing/snorting?

The GOP and the Democrat Party are dying.
They will be supplanted by a Trumpian MAGA party and a European-style Socialist party.

Trump’s changes are not temporary, no more than the socialists impact on the democrat party are.
There’s no coming back, Amash, you pr!ck, just going away. Sooner the better.
