"Why Trump should be worried about Rep. Justin Amash"

By Aaron Blake

The Republican congressman from Michigan, who called for Trump's impeachment this weekend, has threatened a Libertarian Party bid for president.

Apparently this could really happen. If it does, Trump's chances of reelection go way down.

1. Vidal, get out the vote, imo.

We vote, we win, said this simplesimon.

2. How does splitting the anti-Trump vote diminish his chances?

3. Gary Johnson ran in 2016 on the Libertarian platform.

Remind me how that went for Johnson.

For me, more significant is that Amash might be the first rock in the avalanche that could bury Trump.

4. I have a gut feeling Amash is setting himself up to run for Gary Peter's Senate seat

by trying to set himself up as some kind of broad appeal moderate. Which he isn't, by any stretch of the imagination.

5. I think that tRump's reelection chances in a fair/non-corrupt process are minimal.

Since we know that a fair election won't happen we need to go all-out to defeat tRump
and the impeachment process will be a big help.

6. Running unopposed is an important criteria in statistical reelection chances of an incumbent

if I understood a recent post on the subject here on DU. But it has to be a significant challenge or distraction.

8. Bill Weld is running too.

I don't see that in the news much but he is -- a Republican.
