If Justin Amash is in the 2020 election, are principles out?
by Jay Caruso
April 29, 2020 12:26 PM Rep. Justin Amash, an independent from Michigan, formed a presidential exploratory committee, and the tonal shift in the attitude toward the former Republican is palpable.
Former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh and former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld both challenged President Trump as Republicans, offering up primary challenges that went nowhere. Amash, on the other hand, will likely seek the nomination of the Libertarian Party.
The tonal shift is not a positive one.
The praise for Amash began in 2019 when he took a decidedly different tack surrounding the Mueller report, agreeing mostly with Democrats that Trump's behavior met the threshold for impeachment, and his public sentiments came before the Ukraine allegations.
