    Amash said he is still deciding on whether to run again. If he does it will either be independent or Libertarian. On Twitter there are a bunch of people telling him not to run because it will hurt Biden. I'm trying to wrap my head around that logic. The people pushing it are saying that it could possibly take away votes from Biden because of moderate Republicans who may be thinking of going for Biden. I want to say it's trolls, but it's a weird troll job for a single congressional district, even if he is polarizing.

    1. I feel like the Amash/Biden venn diagram is incredibly small. It'd be more likely to be Amash/Libertarian or Amash/No Vote than Amash/Biden.
    2. Even still, it's not like you can't vote for a Dem as president and another party down ballot. Voting for Amash doesn't stop you from voting for Biden.
    3. If the view is that tt's going hurt Biden legislatively, it's going to siphon far more voters from Republican to Amash than Republican to Democrat would in that district. A three way vote is the only way the Dem has a chance, and honestly I think a three way vote is a pretty good chance for a Dem since it went 54-43 to Amash in 2018.
    Paradox: if Amash is popular enough among moderate GOPers to steal votes from Dump then he may bring more to the polls to vote for him... but then GOP downticket.

    I would rather this be just 1x1. Safest. Don't play the angles, just beat the Nazis.

      There are very few moderate Goopers in Amash's district. Except for the parts of Grand Rapids in MI-3, it's pretty much cows and corn. He was elected during the Teabagger wave in 2010.

        100% agree.

        I don’t think he’s pulling people from trump more than Biden. Trump voters are locked up and won’t vote for anyone else. The only people who are waffling are conservatives who either won’t vote or will reluctantly vote for Biden. Give them a choice and of course they’ll do the stupid thing and vote for Amash instead of maybe pulling for Biden.

          Remember when ex-CIA, rock-ribbed, principled conservative family man Evan McMullin was supposed to steal enough votes from Chump to sink him? How'd that turn out?

          He split the "Not Trump" vote in Utah, and Chump won with only 45% of the vote.

            Yeah I want him nowhere near the eleven. Trump won't beat Biden one on one.

              Justin Amash should not run for president this year



              The evidence we do have suggests that an Amash run would be a Trump-helping redux of 2016. A poll conducted in late May 2019 of 600 likely Michigan voters tested Amash in a hypothetical three-way White House race against Trump and Joe Biden.
              According to the poll, Biden beat Trump by 12 percentage points head-to-head, but when Amash was added to the field, his lead dropped to 6 percentage points.
              Richard Czuba, who conducted the poll for the Glengariff Group, said this to the Detroit News back when the poll was released:
              He will not take away Republican votes from Trump. What he will do is give independent voters who don’t want to support President Trump an outlet to not vote for the Democrat. And if you look at who or what would be moving toward Amash, it is particularly independent men.

                I didn’t even contemplate a presidential run. This whole time I was only thinking of running again in MI-03.

                  Yeah, he's been floating the idea of running for the Loonitarian nomination for POTUS, or as an indie like McMullin did.

                  Dudes who would vote for him are the small number of West Michigan religious conservatives who are smart enough to see through Trump's act, but still drink enough right-wing Koolaid to think Biden = T3h C0mmun1sm!!1!1!!1

                      He retired to his home in Taos, presumably to live a gluten-free life and do lots of ayahuasca. Most Lutherans are pretty liberal about that sort of thing.

                            I don't need to watch to confirm, I already knew he'd worn out all the goodwill he generated after the Pete Davidson thing by trying to be the right wing Briahna Joy Gray.

                              Is that the pirate? When he was elected I actually had hope he might not be a dink, but he wound up being just another brainless Republican a-hole.
