If Justin Amash is in the 2020 election, are principles out?

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.

Amash is anti-American and supports muslims. Why would anyone even want him in any office.  PALESTINIAN=HAMAS.
 We already have Omar, that Tiiilb sp? Why would people want MORE MUSLIMS in our government?  Time for the crusades again.
They have infiltrated our government. I do not want sharia law, nor wear any burka.

P.O.S. never was a republican, and his family has business in CHINA..so POTUS dealing with China and stopping some trade, pissed him off.  Then Amash went against POTUS and changed his affiliation.  NOTHING HAS CHANGED, HE IS THE SAME P.O.S, anti-American he always WAS.  COMMUNIST.  IF ANY OF YOU KNOW THIS OR REMEMBER THIS. JUST IGNORE MY POSTS. I am not a mind reader, and do NOT know, what everyone else KNOWS on here.

Yes, I would.  I am built like Marilyn Monroe. That is what men told me all the time. Not in the face...my body.
I never knew that. Even my legs, are like hers.  Eat your heart out. Ha!

YES, principles have left the building.
GONE, baby, GONE.

But Amash has nothing to do with that at all.

IIRC, the 2016 Libertarian Party's Presidential candidate was basically anti-2nd Amendment, so I'm not sure "principles" is a word to which the Party can lay claim.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Joe Walsh: You can’t win, Justin Amash. You can only help Trump get reelected.

Quote
President Trump is everything our Founders feared. He routinely misleads or outright lies to the American people, he puts his own interests ahead of the nation, he can’t handle dissent, he mocks our most precious institutions, he’s intentionally divisive. A few months ago, he was impeached. He’s currently bungling the nation’s response to a global pandemic.

Ex-Republican Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.) knows all of this. He, like me and the majority of Americans who don’t approve of the job Trump is doing, and who aren’t Fox News-watching minions, know that four more years of this presidency would cause permanent damage to this country. Which makes Amash’s announcement last night that he’s forming a presidential exploratory committee — to mount a run for the Libertarian Party nomination — so damn perplexing. And so disappointing.

Former republican congressman Joe Walsh running as a republican presidential candidate with no chance of winning is deeply hurt by former republican congressman Justin Amash running as a libertrarian presidential candidate with no chance of winning.
