AMEN.

He emphasized refugees and immigration in his Op-Ed. That is the basis for a lot of the outrage against Trump, and probably a big part of his opposition to Trump.
The problem is that this issue splits libertarians, and the Tea Party types lean even more towards immigration restriction. For a person who has pro-immigration as a high priority or even their highest priority, it is a frustration. For Amash, it means he had to see at least half of his supporters disagree with him on that particular issue, and they would tend to be supporters that identified as constitutional or libertarian Republicans. So on this issue, he would see very few, if any, of those constitutional or libertarian Republicans side with him. Therefore no reason to be a Republican anymore.

I would rather be beaten and be a man than to be elected and be a little puppy dog. I have always supported measures and principles and not men. I have acted fearless[ly] and independent and I never will regret my course. I would rather be politically buried than to be hypocritically immortalized.”

Why are there so many trump fans here now?
Did all the smart people give up and move to the woods after 2012?
I’m not a huge Trump fan. What I would say is that he has done more to protect the unborn than any other President. This alone is worth serious consideration.

Wouldn't be the first time...national GOP went after Ron over and over again.
Gotta play it smarter than Amash did.

Trump is fighting the same liberal establishment that Ron Paul is fighting against. Most people who don't have TDS blinders on can see that clearly.
In spite of all the opposition and flak he got from the GOP, somehow Ron kept his seat in Galveston/Lake Jackson until he just didn't want to do it anymore. Maybe Amash just doesn't want to do it anymore. In a way I can't blame him. Just wish it hadn't been done like pulling a grenade pin and holding the pineapple to his own chest. Ron left office with grace. Amash is leaving with a big mess to clean up.
NOW would probably be a good time to think about who is gonna take his place.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO STOP KISSING THE RING & SAY: NO.
There is no spoon.
And sometimes you have to forget about the ring altogether and do what you can from your foothold without screaming "bonzai!" and detonating your suicide vest.
maybe it's just me but that seems like a rather unreasonable approach to advancing liberty. It's not like it's gotta be one or the other. You can be a bit more tactful about it. Public opinion is kind of a fragile thing and until this bunch actually understands that, we're just spinning our wheels.

Your guy's arrogance and and being so "principled" is not gaining us freedoms. The needle is heading in the right direction in SOME by no means all areas. With your strategy the needle is heading in the complete opposite direction. Rand and Thomas have played wisely.
Another take on it.
Justin China Announces His Republican Departure…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com...can-departure/
Justin China is specifically at risk from the ‘America First’ trade and economic policy of President Donald Trump. [Detailed Here] With extensive family financial holdings dependent on Chinese manufacturing there is a specific level of transparent self interest.
So, what are we celebrating today????

Lol. I feel like throwing a book at you.

Justin Amash’s Business Interests in China Underscore His Push to Impeach Trump
https://bigleaguepolitics.com/justin...impeach-trump/
I am not going to mourn the loss of a politician that puts illegals, open borders and employs foreign citizens over our own. $#@! him!In Amash’s financial disclosure forms for the year of 2015, he was shown as receiving up to $1 million in annual income due to his ownership stake in Michigan Industrial Tools (MIT). MIT is the parent company of Tekton Tools, Amash’s family business, that benefits directly from Chinese manufacturing.
An article from MLive in 2010 exposed Amash as being the co-owner of Dynamic Source International (DSI), a Chinese company that was once an MIT supplier. Amash’s family have been outspoken advocates of the globalist trade status quo for many years.
....
The fact is, instead of making American-made products made by American workers, Justin Amash has chosen Chinese workers to make products which he then sells in America,” said Lonny Paris, who served as campaign manager in 2010 for Amash’s Democratic opponent Pat Miles Jr.
Victory over tyranny? (nevermind the slow decay back into it over the course of a few hundred years)
I don't see your point. The rebels in 1776 won. I doubt if they had lost we would know their names or have much to celebrate. At some point they went from recruiting martyrs to recruiting fighters and they won. This movement seems to be perpetually seeking out martyrs. Time to move the ball forward. Let's move to a new phase, please. For the love of God, a new strategy.

They didn't leave, most just turned because of the immigration issue. The way they see it, the more immigrants that enter, eventually becoming voting citizen, the harder it would be to elect a liberty govt. The logic is sound but I don't believe Trump is anymore anti immigration than Obama. He all talk and no action

Exactly and he was stupid for pushing for an impeachment which would never happen and based on the evidence that shows Trump didn't do anything wrong or colliding.
I love you, even though you don't agree with me about Trumps motivations or understand that Trumps opposition is worse than he is, and I will fight to the death for your right to say and believe whatever you want.
Wrong. I see the whole $#@! house coming down at some point. I’m trying to delay it for the sake of my family and neighbors.
Trump is a blessing compared to Hillary and has allowed us some time and a fighting chance. Now we need to fight smart if we wish to right this without the violent revolution some here seem to lust over.
The needle is in a much better position than I could have imagined a few years ago. The life of the unborn being the most important.
For the time remaining, I’m going to support men who have an actual chance at fixing things in the current state things are in now. I don’t idolize him, but he happens to be the best President in my lifetime in slowing down the collapse and I do support him even as I don’t support him on certain things.
It’s the left and the fakestream media who is brainwashing people into thinking that if there is one single reason why you think Trump is bad, then you have to support the other party and hate him.
These antics work in low IQ individuals or those who have devoted themselves to some passion and are blinded to anything else around them.
What is going on with the boycott of the MSM for the parade should be clear to even a child, namely, that they are actively plotting against him. And for those who still have the delusion that he is some pawn for the DS even after this, than I fear there may be little hope for them.
Trump is the best shot we have. Maybe not the most constitutional or best mannered, but the best in terms of realistic chance in turning the ship in a better direction, as imperfect and unfinished as it is
