Rep. Justin Amash is considering a third-party presidential run this year to challenge President Trump and Joe Biden, and will be making a decision “soon,” his campaign said Wednesday.

The campaign for Amash, the former Republican, put out a statement Wednesday saying the Michigan independent will make a decision “soon.”

“In mid-February, Justin Amash paused active campaigning for his congressional seat to carefully consider a presidential run,” his campaign said. “He has been discussing the potential campaign with his family, his friends, his team, and others, and a decision can be expected soon.” […]

Amash is a libertarian-minded conservative who was an ardent supporter of Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, during his 2012 presidential run and backed his son, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. during the 2016 primary election. Amash later endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, when Paul’s campaign fizzled out and refused to vote for Trump in the general election. …

And his base would be who?

NeverTrump Bill Kristol cabal would not want to be his ‘base’, they want power and influence.

How goofy is this...No Trump supporters will flip to this loser...Whoever might vote for Amash would vote for Biden if Amash was not running...

An attempt to get votes from Trump. Will only work if the Dems succeed in getting ballot harvesting and mail in voting required for Nov.

The sole reason Amash runs will be to deprive Trump of just enough votes in Michigan (a key state) to help Plugs win a plurality there.

Nope, we have FReepers here that think this A-hole is great. He would take just enough conservatives votes to give Biden the win. No liberals would vote for him.

FReepers who would vote for Amash are never-Trumpers to start with.

Nah.

The Never-Trumpers are Democrats now.

They would have voted for Plugs anyway.

All he has to do is sucker some on-the-fence folks who ordinarily would lean to Trump. Take a mere fraction of them, and it can tip it to Plugs. Trump won MI by .22%, just 10,704 votes.

Most of the Amash disciples have either vanished, stay quiet, or have recognized since that he was a Grade-A phony.

Amash won his elections with 10% margins, and liberals hated him.

He wouldn’t pull any liberal votes.

Yes; that’s why Kristol told people he “came out” as Democratic.
