Amash exits House Freedom Caucus in wake of Trump impeachment stance.

[elleng]

'Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) has opted to quit the House Freedom Caucus in the wake of his comments in support of moving forward with impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

Amash took to Twitter in May to say that after reading the Mueller report he believes the president engaged in "impeachable conduct," also accusing Attorney General William Barr of "deliberately misrepresenting" the findings of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.'>>>

1. He should get into the primary race.

Might do better than Weld.

[elleng]

3. Both present formidable faces against spineless repugs.

[Wellstone ruled]

2. One of the charter members of

the Freedom Caucus defecting,new scam,believe it when really happens.

[Tiggeroshii]

4. They hate him

They are probably throwing him out

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Something is happening in

Michigan. Might be the Natives are starting to wake up? Noticed some polling showing a Tsunami of political shifting to the left.

9. Good!

Details?

17. I now live in Central Michigan and

can see a big shift. I don't think the locals ever liked him as much as they hated Hillary.
He'd do better in Central Michigan if tried to take credit for all the wind mills going up. Lots and lots of them and no coal miners.

20. The messageing

of anti won the day. When doing phone banking,that came through loud and clear in the last week of the campaign. Same for your yard.

As for Wind Mills. The two production plants in Minnesota and South Dakota are running at Max 24/7. Midwest Energy based in Des Moines has a order for 450 towers that these plants are working off as well as other orders in the works.

These Mills will Populate the North West corner of Iowa on what is known as the Southern end of the Buffalo Ridge. Funny thing,one of the Reddest parts of the State.

6. If Amash is serious about his opposition to his party's stance

He should switch parties.

[JI7]

7. no, he is libertarian. he is still right wing leaning on issues

just accept and welcome his position on trump and impeachment.

but that doesn't mean he has changed his views.

he doesn't need to change parties to vote for impeachment.

[elleng]

8. Yes,

accept and welcome his position on trump and impeachment.

No need to overstep, but ACCEPT and WELCOME.

[onetexan]

10. He has an R behind his title. When did he switch to libertarian?

[JI7]

11. i meant he is ideologically libertarian

either way, he hasn't changed his position on issues and that shouldn't matter in this case concerning Trump and impeachment.

[onetexan]

12. He is still a repug to me. He can switch to Independent or something else

Dsnt have to be Dem.

[JI7]

13. he doesn't need to switch at all. it's not like we are supporting him for political office

we are welcoming his stand on impeachment.

[OnDoutside]

19. +1

[onetexan]

21. of course not, it's his prerogative. What i'm saying is IF he really wants to make a strong stance

against his current party given their full compliance to the Idiot in Chief and the inherent corruption & coverup the GOP has engaged in, he should renounce his party affiliation altogether. He can be whatever - Libertarian, Independent, etc. We don't need him to be a Dem, but of course his denouncing the Idiot is a refreshing change from his spineless party members.

14. Some "libertarian." He thinks women should be forced to give birth against their will.

These right wing libertarians obviously only believe in liberty for white, Christian, heterosexual men.

But I welcome his stance on Trump. That took guts.

[JI7]

15. most libertarians are opposed to women's rights. my point is that we should welcome

his stand on impeachment of Trump.

but none of that means he has changed his views on issues and needs to join our party.

[SunSeeker]

16. I got your point, and I do welcome his stand.

But when you mentioned he's a libertarian, I just had to say that about libertarians, especially with the current assault on women's right to control their bodies.

[JI7]

18. i agree, i never considered libertarians to be much better and usually i think they are worse than

most republicans.

i said he is libertarian because that's how he describes himself.
