He says he’s running as a Republican. Why do you think otherwise?
Because he was a Republican once, then he was an Independent, then he was a Libertarian and probably still is? That’s why.
Amash is a gadfly who doesn’t know what the hell he is or what he wants to be. Besides being “Senator” perhaps, and he’s isn’t going to get that.
He’s just a charlatan who misses the attention and the payday he got when he was a self-important congressman — especially the media adulation he received after he made clear how much of a “maverick” he was and how he hated President Trump enough to leave Trump’s party and even to leave Congress.
He’s the Left’s darling “principled conservative”, though he is actually neither of those things.
Now he sees a small opening and wants to capitalize. He can get back that media adulation by being the “anti-Republican” (and definitely anti-Trump) Republican in the race.
I’d rather take my chances with Craig. He might be able to get within the margin of vote fraud and at least make the Rats sweat just a little.
