AMEN.

And one the same note:

National Republicans may be maneuvering to unseat Kentucky's conservative darling, Massie

I have donated to him in the past also, I wish I could understand what he's doing but I just can't.

He emphasized refugees and immigration in his Op-Ed. That is the basis for a lot of the outrage against Trump, and probably a big part of his opposition to Trump.

The problem is that this issue splits libertarians, and the Tea Party types lean even more towards immigration restriction. For a person who has pro-immigration as a high priority or even their highest priority, it is a frustration. For Amash, it means he had to see at least half of his supporters disagree with him on that particular issue, and they would tend to be supporters that identified as constitutional or libertarian Republicans. So on this issue, he would see very few, if any, of those constitutional or libertarian Republicans side with him. Therefore no reason to be a Republican anymore.

I hope he has some method to the madness.

I would rather be beaten and be a man than to be elected and be a little puppy dog. I have always supported measures and principles and not men. I have acted fearless[ly] and independent and I never will regret my course. I would rather be politically buried than to be hypocritically immortalized.”

Why are there so many trump fans here now?
Did all the smart people give up and move to the woods after 2012?

I’m not a huge Trump fan. What I would say is that he has done more to protect the unborn than any other President. This alone is worth serious consideration.

Wouldn't be the first time...national GOP went after Ron over and over again.

Gotta play it smarter than Amash did.

Trump is fighting the same liberal establishment that Ron Paul is fighting against. Most people who don't have TDS blinders on can see that clearly.

In spite of all the opposition and flak he got from the GOP, somehow Ron kept his seat in Galveston/Lake Jackson until he just didn't want to do it anymore. Maybe Amash just doesn't want to do it anymore. In a way I can't blame him. Just wish it hadn't been done like pulling a grenade pin and holding the pineapple to his own chest. Ron left office with grace. Amash is leaving with a big mess to clean up.

NOW would probably be a good time to think about who is gonna take his place.

No, apparently they haven’t posted in years and came back to mock the majority who have remained.

Hopefully we can replace him with someone who appreciates how Great our President is

But you don't live in Michigan.

Depends on the State. It has worked for others in the past. Murkowski won as an independent in Alaska, even after losing the primary.

I'm referring to presidential run.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO STOP KISSING THE RING & SAY: NO.

 

[nobody's_hero]

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO STOP KISSING THE RING & SAY: NO.

And sometimes you have to forget about the ring altogether and do what you can from your foothold without screaming "bonzai!" and detonating your suicide vest.

maybe it's just me but that seems like a rather unreasonable approach to advancing liberty. It's not like it's gotta be one or the other. You can be a bit more tactful about it. Public opinion is kind of a fragile thing and until this bunch actually understands that, we're just spinning our wheels.

Rand is kissing the ring?

Your guy's arrogance and and being so "principled" is not gaining us freedoms. The needle is heading in the right direction in SOME by no means all areas. With your strategy the needle is heading in the complete opposite direction. Rand and Thomas have played wisely.
