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.”

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. …

He’ll get his family’s votes and the Never Trumpers who as “republicans” voted for Hellery. But, after he loses he gets to keep all the cash that’s leftover from the fools that donate to him.

He will be running on the ChiCom ticket. He hates Trump, largely because of the tariffs Trump used to get the Chinese to the table on a trade agreement. He owns a cheapo tool company that uses China for their manufacturing.

Amash’s dislike of Trump is due to his company’s trade ties with China........

Who ?
The one of nine Representatives who voted against keeping "In God We Trust" as the official motto of the United States. His parents were Palestinian Christian immigrants but he was born here. He probably wants to do his part in the struggle against the most pro-God and pro-Israel President this nation has ever seen.

He can come out as pro-coronavirus, and campaign on his experience exporting jobs. Campaign theme: “We’re Dying to Make America Dependent on China Again.”

“Amash is a libertarian-minded conservative”

Absolute BS. He is neither. A rat mole who lost his cover.
