    Sorry to hear that because I think he would have taken some Biden votes.
    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 used to think that he hurts Trump. I was wrong.
    He desperately pandered to the left like Gary Johnson!

    Honestly what was the point of that? Is he going to run for his house seat now? He seems committed to the LP so it seems as if he will be doing something in politics and not just retire in 2020 and go home. I guess it gained him some national recognition and some $$$ for the LP.

    People in general need to stop pandering to the left. We tried building bridges with these people and it ends up never working out. No matter how hard you try to convince them, they will always believe in micromanaging everyone's life. Better to let them drown in their insanity.

    If you don’t follow LP people on social media, then you probably missed the total $#@!-show that has been taking place over the last 2 weeks. What are people fighting over? The validity of having an online convention, without a physical one. The LNC has been paralyzed with people in both camps fighting over this, and Justin apparently didn’t want to be caught in the crossfire. Now the LP has lost its greatest financial asset raising ability, and is looking into the abyss of a cash crunch and the party falling apart before the election. A total cluster$#@!. Time to fire everyone in LP leadership and start over.
    "There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning.

    And that I think, was the handle. That sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave." ~ HST

    Because they run their party like a democracy. With any organization that is always a short path to failure.

    Now he can run for Governor against Queen Whitmer in 2022.

    Pretty much a given that a third party candidate could not win.

    I think you are being sarcastic but if not, he would NEVER win a governor's race even as a Republican. He would be a sacrificial joke candidate that Republicans put up in a lot of these gubernatorial and senate races like Pete Hoekstra and this John James guy who will lose by 20.


    Obviously someone chirped in his ear about this to influence this decision. Wonder what that the context was. This makes absolutely no sense. Gave up his House seat for nothing then changes his mind at the last minute for the LP nomination, which he certainly would have gotten.

    What does he even do now? Work for his family? Maybe the Cato Institute pays him something to do I have no idea what.

    Maybe he has ideas other than being an elected official? Perhaps he was tired of the B.S. in Congress, decided to to do a symbolic run in the LP, and discovered that the drama in the Libertarian Party is as bad or worse than in the swamp?
