Big League Politics ^ | March 5, 2020 | Shane Trejo

...While Amash would obviously have no chance to win the presidency if he ran as a Libertarian, he could theoretically peel off voters from Trump in the battleground state of Michigan, which may be the ulterior motive behind his potential run...

Theoretically, but not very likely.

Amash getting the LP nod would be the best thing for Trump. Anyone who doesn't like Trump is already not going to vote for him, but they might not like the Demonrat candidate either. Amash is just as anti-Trump as the Demonrats.

Isn’t it too late to be on the ballots?

The Libertarian party should run someone who can espouse their beliefs and take away from Biden at the same time. Do they really believe the leftist would be more Libertarian than Trump?

I didn't know the LP supported the impeachment farce:

LP Chairman Nick Sarwark published a post on Facebook stating [...] “That’s why the Congress should impeach and remove the current president. He has shown disrespect for the Constitution, spending money without congressional approval, sending troops into war without a congressional declaration

None of those were in the articles of impeachment, moron. Seems the LP is against due process.

Amash will hurt Trump as much as Bill Weld and Joe Walsh did in the GOP primaries. Which is to say: not at all. Actually, Amash would do far worse, which is saying something. Assuming the LP would even take his phony carcass in the first place

The Libertarians only serve to take votes from Republicans in close races. The Demonrats probably subsidize them privately.

The Libertarian Party has probably already secured their spot on the ballot.

“The Libertarians only serve to take votes from Republicans in close races. The Demonrats probably subsidize them privately.”

Exactly.

Not unlike conservatives who have funded Green Party candidates.

That’s politics.

Libertarian dittos here. They have no business running. They have their heads buried in the sand, especially on foreign policy. Every Republican is a wannabe Libertarian so how do they say thanks? They put down both parties equally knowing it hurts the GOP and have much more in common with them. Even Bill Mahre called himself one. I’m still a Libertarian because of what they are on paper. They’ll never get a buck from me.

He says he will only consider a run if he sees a path for victory.

A path for victory for the LP ... now that's funny right there.

He showed so much promise in his earlier terms. Then he just turned into an a-hole.

I’m sure Amash’s Chinese benefactors will make it worth his while to run as a Losertarian. I’ve always been convinced that the Libertarian Party is a DemocRAT front organization. It’s sole effective purpose has been to take votes away from Republican candidates and, in close elections, to help elect the DemocRAT candidates.
