Amash: Some retiring GOP lawmakers may re-enter politics once Trump is gone
The Hill ^ | 10/22/19 | Zack Budryk

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 Trump’s call to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN’s Erin Burnett they “feel trapped in that position.”

“I hear that from my colleagues on the House floor” he added.

“They wish they weren’t 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 president’s gone,” Amash said.

Trump is the best chance Republicans have to restore our Constitutional Republic and the rule of law and Republicans are running for the hills.

If they can’t fight for the President and his agenda, then they need to stay away or come back as what they are...Democrats.

So they proudly served under Marxist Obama but crumbled under Trump. Good riddance.

If they think that once they get rid of Trump everything will go back to how it was, I think they are sorely underestimating the backlash. I think that will be the end of the gop and that it would suppress enough votes in 2020 that the dems will run the table. But the unrest in the country will intensify and not subside. JMHO

For those unipartying, Deep State-dwelling RINOs, a quote...

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. 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.

Sam Adams

Yeah, but who will vote for them after Trump has outed them for being the anti-American chumps they always were?

This is about as close an admission of blackmail/extortion going on as I have seen.

They leave - but are willing to come back with a different administration.

In other words, all these Republicans did not leave voluntarily or because they wanted to retire- they were forced out by Trump for one reason or another

In other words, once the outsider is gone it’s back to “criminal” business as usual. Repuke idiots like Amash are no better than the RATS. I think many of them are closet RATS who’ve infiltrated the GOP.

Arms/ammo sales will be going through the roof in 2022/2023. Bet on it.

The Socialists/Communists will be forceful, and continue to be lawless.
