    Bad advice, it doesn't work this way.

    I think Amash should run. He is pretty aggressive and well-spoken. He gives people someone to vote for.

    I think it is important to have representative of freedom views. I see his campaign similar to Ron Paul's in that he is a minor House Rep with no chance of winning. But assuming he is confident in keeping his House seat, he can be pretty loose about what he says which might fire people up. I don't see Rand running again and Massie isn't great for this kind of thing. If it isn't Amash, there really isn't anyone else. So I suspect Amash will take a crack at it.

    And the odds of Amash ever being Governor or Michigan are 0.0000% and I don't think he could win a Republican primary for Senate let alone beating a Democrat. It would require some sort of really good luck like a scandal that took the Democrat of the running. He was built to be a House Rep.

    Trump isn't going to win the general. He won the primary because 17 candidates fractured the field. In the process he destroyed the GOP viability for a generation and may lose them the house. This election should have been a cake walk for the GOP with how crooked the Clintons are. Any number of the other primary candidates would have easily had a double digit lead on Clinton and the email leaks would be a real story, not pussygate. Trump being where he is was a perfect storm.

    I was referring to the primary and your position that a candidate must hold a senate seat. That being a Congressman wasn't enough to get them the primary. Trump has never held an elected position, not even dog-catcher, and he is the nominee.

    Trump was an anomaly. Too many viable mainstream republicans got too greedy and all ran the same year taking each other out. In any other election, this never would have happened. I'm sure the GOP will never make this mistake again. The jump from congressman to potus just doesn't happen.

    to think Thomas Massie will never run for president or vice president is kind of ridiculous in my opinion.

    I see no problem with Massie/Rand/Amash running as the LP nominee, if the GOP hypothetically allowed them too, if they don't win the GOP nominee

    Debatable, but he probably has more money than Amash...

    Name recognition though, certainly.

    “I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul

    The GOP is done. His only chance is to run as a Democrat. America is now a one party system.

    I'm not so sure that this 'democrats are going to let in 20 Million illegals and let them vote' is anything more than a ruse to distract away from (accomplish?) the fact that Trump is reaching into the masses of ignorant former non-voters that we really do not want voting for his base. I don't know much about Amash but I think if Rand was up their today he would be pulling people from left right and center and I think the GOP down ballot would be benefited as well.

    It won't take very long to get them home but it won't be overnight either but Iraq says they can't stay and they are coming home just like Trump said.

    Republicans control both houses of Congress (though the Senate could change soon) and an overwhelming majority in the governor's mansions. Not to mention that they have control of several state legislatures in traditionally blue states. If Trump wasn't running they would be virtually guaranteed to win the White House. 2016 will go down as a bad year for the GOP, but the party has seen much worse.

    They would only be winning because the Dems nominated the worst possible candidate. After 8 years of Hillary, there will be so many illegals and refugees in this country that many of those Republican governors and congressmen will lose their jobs, and no Republican will get a majority in the electoral college. It's all about the demographics. The Democrats know it, and most Republicans know it. National Review, Red State, and The Blaze are the only delusional ones who think minorities will want a brand of conservatism invented by dead white guys.

    I take back my previous comments. Though still an underdog, it's now looking more likely that Trump could pull off an upset.

    Justin..... please RUN in 2o20 and let Senator Rand run in 2024.
    if DJT is impeached, Mike Pence might be followed by a Democrat.

    Everyone on this site that has endorsed impeachment should be ashamed of themselves and Amash should be drummed out of the movement.

    ^this.

    For 2020, some other more expereinced Libertarians would do better.

    For 2020, left wing neocons/Dems seem bit disorganized but right wing neocon donors funded PR officers/former Dems identifying as "Republicans" currenty have a powerful machinery and media allies edge. Coupled with former Reality TV star experience, WWE wrestling exposure and lot of funding from world top neocons isn't going to be easy for a relatively inexperienced libertarian to take on.

    Justin Amash will decide soon whether he will run for president Since then, he has continued to position himself as a Trump critic, receiving heat from top GOP officials and from the president himself.
