    YES!
    On Trump:
    How conservative Republicans can continue to support this arrogant imposter—the man who brags about inflicting the world with the Covid mark of the beast; the man who said, “Take the guns first, go through due process second”; and the man who deliberately played and then set up Stewart Rhodes (of course, Stewart was all too eager to be Trump’s patsy) for an 18-year prison sentence—is truly beyond my comprehension.” Chuck Baldwin

    Debate appearance and 5% are major milestones that could break the two party death strangle on the country.

    Ahh, shi. All I'm saying is it's how he plays it. The M$M will destroy him. Absolutely kill. But, worked right he may get social media behind him. At least he hasn't finger diddled anyone without their consent. That I'm aware of.

    Nah, they will love him.

    Bolshies and Jacobins and Bernie Bros won't vote for him in any great number, but a well run campaign will peel away enough Trump votes to ensure a Sleepy Joe win.

    Read the comments: - that is what Trumptards actually think of Amash, unlike what compulsive liar dannno says.

    Maybe you should follow his Twitter, where he addresses specifics about your concerns, instead of relying on a generic form letter sent by a staffer.

    I scrolled for a while. Truly is scary to read how many flat out brainwashed Fox News morons are out there. These people still can't see that Trump is as big a socialist as Nancy??? Fluoride is a hell of a drug...

    Finally some real libertarians to choose from this time instead of retread elite family Beltway faux libertarians like Chafee.

    My two daughters and I were gang-raped by some of the Newcomers. It landed us in the hospital for 3 weeks as several bones were broken. I don't blame them, it was a sexual emergency and I wasn't about to go all white privilege and deny them the release they needed, especially after being stuck in a hotel for months. I see the Newcomers as family now. They are on our side and will help us stop Trump. It is a small price to pay. Anything but Trump.

    I dunno,brother, with all due respect. I'm half a mind that all those 100% divided only do so because they have no choice. One falls on the side of 'Us vs. Them.' And I know this well. Friends, that we have enjoyed company for decades, de-friend because I express a viewpoint. And then later message me to apologize.
    If Amash ran I'd think he would set a Libertarian Party record.

    Most Never Trumpers are Neoconservatives & they will not vote for Amash.
    They will vote for Biden.

    Depends on the spin. Amash never digitally penetrated a woman against her will. At least we know of. I now many DEMs. They don't particularly care for Biden. He's just someone that is not Trump.

  17. #44
    Justin/Jacob is a ticket I'd like to see. Enough Demo and Demo-lites every election. Red Donnie vs. Red Joe/Hillary/Nancy. Blah, boring. You're voting for the CFR and Wall St regardless.

    (Red Donnie. I just coined that label and I like it. I think I'll start using it every time I refer to him. Nice play off Red Dawn and the fact that he's a socialist like the rest of his CFR "opponents".)

    Sorry. I'm working too much. Taking care of the parents too much. Last three days I was called over to help my mom off the floor in the middle of my 'nap time' for this night shift worker.

    At the start of the video Whoopie LAUGHS at the fact that he is considering a run, Dismissing him from the 'get-go.'

    That is what we will ere from now on if he gets the nomination.

    Read through this Twitter thread. Response is brutal, and coming form the left. Pretty predictable though. The Marxists are about purity. Anything less must be eliminated. They have a spot reserved for Amash in a Gulag, and now he will get tortured too.

    He would've made an impact if he stayed in congress and chose to run in 2024 where he would make more impact in the GOP debate.

    Instead he will be debating Vermin Supreme.

    Fortunately, party registrations are down and unaffiliated/independent is up. There's a hardcore left chunk of the population and a hardcore Trump chunk, both of which are shrinking, while more people that want nothing to do with either chunk is growing. It's just that those chunks are the most vocal (and also filled with multi-account perception management/false consensus shills).

    I will quite happily vote for Amash.

    Absolutely amazing the complaints on this site. Ron Paul had zero chance of winning anything and people here supposedly supported him. Voting for Amash is voting for a Ron Paul equivalent. Should be an easy choice.

    Not sure what they complaining about. I would never vote for Biden. Would have voted for Trump if the LP put up a crazy candidate. Now voting for Amash.

    Suspect Amash will pull largely from the right.

    Incorrect. In 2012 Ron had a shot at winning the nomination.

    Finished a distant fourth in vote total behind two people who dropped out early (Santorum and Gingrich). Won zero states. Was an abhorrent choice to 85% of Republican voters who would have voted for anyone but him.

    He was never winning under any circumstance. He did as well as he did because the press and his opponents treated him with kid gloves. If any other candidate wanted to nuke him with ads they could have at anytime. They didn't because they knew he wasn't winning. Romney became his best buddy. And if he were winning primaries the press would have replayed endlessly his list of views that would have ended his campaign.

    They are complaining because many Marxists know that libertarians are their real opposition. And even ignorant Marxists can repeat the talking points given to them on The View.

    Actually he won several states. And he was leading in the polls just prior to the Iowa Caucuses. Your memory is short.

    You must've been high during the campaign, because that is NOT what happened.

    Ron Paul didn't fall for all of the deep state Russia collusion and Ukraine phone call nonsense. Amash amplified a false narrative. Ron Paul doesn't amplify false narratives.

    Also, Ron Paul was running against deep state tools.

    Finally, we have a President who isn't a deep state tool and I would like to keep it that way.. not vote for somebody who promotes their agenda.
