Amash for President...?
Amash for President...?
No one in West Mich currently is covering this...Washington Post has it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics ... story.html

Re: Amash for President...?
I would love to see some polling data for the 3rd congressional district race.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Re: Amash for President...?
The timing is not for a third-party run. First he needs to prove he can get elected as an independent rep.
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
Re: Amash for President...?
What is the POINT of having local political reporters if, by 11 am, they still don't have a story up about the local congressman probably running for the highest office in the land? It'd be like The Press being asleep when Jerry Ford was sworn in and, in fact, The Press covered it very well back then.

Re: Amash for President...?
This is nothing more than a tease by Mr. Amash.
It's not as if he actually announced he's running for the office.
His recent comments are hardly different from similar comments he's made on the record over the past year. Running for President would be a total waste of time. He'd be lucky to earn 5% of the popular vote.

Re: Amash for President...?
Justin Amash wouldn't get a lot of votes and it is a waste of time as well if he ran for President. He has to prove that he can win as independent for congress which I can see Justin can win as I see conservatives voting for him I don't see a split just my opinion. I also don't see a President ever coming from West Michigan as Ford will be the only one even know he was never voted in to become president.

Yeah, most likely flushing for high-dollar quail. I agree, polling data for the district would offer a lot of insight if there's any there there.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 7:28 pmThis is nothing more than a tease by Mr. Amash.

Re: Amash for President...?
I don't think the analogy is valid at all. Ford had a 100% chance of becoming President the day he was sworn in. Amash has a 0% chance. There is no comparison.TeleCine wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 10:56 amWhat is the POINT of having local political reporters if, by 11 am, they still don't have a story up about the local congressman probably running for the highest office in the land?

This is not a story. It is a shiny object. I would be more concerned about the motives of any organization that *did* cover this.

Re: Amash for President...?
The Washington Post covered a local congressman suggesting he's going to run for president and you don't think that's newsworthy?

No, I do not.
If he forms an exploratory committee or announces he's seeking the Libertarian Party nomination, THAT would be newsworthy.

Well, guess it's now newsworthy. Well, unless your expectations are that it would be covered by the Michigan press promptly...MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2020 7:46 pmNo, I do not.

Re: Amash for President...?
I still believe Justin has no chance of becoming President he will only get less than 1% of the vote just my opinion. I'd vote Mark Cuban if he decide to run for president as an independent as he is still thinking of running.

Re: Amash for President...?
As MW mentioned a few weeks ago, I'd love to see some polling data on the 3rd Dist. race and in particular the Republican side. Anyone care to fill me in on how Peter Meijer is being received?
Rate This, (as our resident and beloved poll guru) you got anything?
[EDIT: Kind of an interesting recent interview from POLITICO with Amash: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/ ... ump-225147]
