I seriously hope Amash and his family are eating garbage under a bridge when Trump is re-elected in Nov 2020. http://www...s-frightened-by-party-politics Rep. Justin Amash announces he is leaving GOP; Trump calls it 'great news' Michigan Rep. Justin Amash announced Thursday that he is leaving the Republican Party, saying he is disenchanted and “frightened” by party politics -- a move that was quickly described as "great news" by President Trump. JUSTIN AMASH GONE FROM HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS AFTER SAYING TRUMP'S CONDUCT WAS 'IMPEACHABLE' Amash, a libertarian and a critic of President Trump, made the announcement in an op-ed for The Washington Post, in which he said he had once run as a Republican due to the GOP’s belief in limited government, economic freedom and individual liberty. "In recent years, though, I’ve become disenchanted with party politics and frightened by what I see from it,” he said in the op-ed. “The two-party system has evolved into an existential threat to American principles and institutions.” Trump soon responded, calling Amash's departure "great news" for the GOP and suggesting he quit because he was likely to lose to a primary challenge for his re-election bid. |

Amash opposed President Donald Trump's 2017 executive order to ban citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the United States. |

The GOP will still be around when Trump is gone. Even Bernie realized the best way to advance his message is through the party, cancer and all. |

rank | Thu Jul 04 23:56:40 2019 The GOP died when the parasite Tea Party invaded it and drained it of life. Now the Trump party is gnawing on the rotting carcass of what was once the GOP. |
Forwyn
rank | Fri Jul 05 00:06:01 2019 The GOP died when it ignored the message of the Tea Party that sought to restore the party to its roots, and astroturfed it, elevating only its most retarded figureheads like Palin and Bachmann |

Rugian
rank | Fri Jul 05 16:28:51 2019 jergul, Surely I don't need to point out the absurdity of that accusation being uttered by someone whose entire worldview has been shaped by a combination of being raised in a culture of post-modern nihilism, spending years working in the crippling isolation of the the Arctic Ocean, and fearing for much of his youth that everything he held dear might one day be destroyed by a Soviet invasion. |
