Oh Kev…have you READ the Constitution lately? How about the definition of REPUBLICAN PARTY? Are you really SURE you want purity tests for your members? What a fking dolt you are.

What a softball question. Why not ask him: Are you losing control of your members? Are you in a mess? Will there be more members like Amash? Are you being pushed?
Media, please do better! Push him as hard as you push Dem leaders!

“will you have him killed?” “will Putin poison Amash?” “what does Vlad tell you?” “where do you go to convert your Rubles? Is the exchange rate poor?”

“Justin Amash can determine his own future, but I think in a philosophical basis, he’s probably in a different place than the majority of all of us,” he said

LOL This is funny because Amash is probably more in tune with the beliefs the Republican Party has long espoused than just about anyone else. Remember when they claimed they were the law and order party? The keep you safe party? The party against “waste, fraud, and abuse”? The party for fiscal responsibility? The party of family values? Remember that? Because every single reason Amash opposes PP is because he actually embraces the very philosophy the Republican Party has CLAIMED to believe in for the last 40 years. These Trumpers who have gleefully abdicated all of those so-called principles are the ones who abandoned their beliefs.

"he’s probably in a different place than the majority of all of us,”

Showing signs of an incipient conscience is anathema to the GOP.

White Christian hegemony or bust, amirite?

Here’s Justin Amash’s voting record for anyone who is interested. I don’t think he sides with Pelosi much, but see for yourself:

McCarthy is the dimmest of dim bulbs. Gohmert and Gaetz are the dumbest of dumb bells.

Kevin McCarthy is an embarrassment to the Congress, my state of California that he clams to represent, and to our country. But then he is just another Toady to Trump who is even more of an embarrassment, so what else can we expect?

Oh shit, thank you for reminding me. Need to go pick up some Canadia loonies this week, before we head to Edmonton.

If you’re on the wrong side of McCarthy, you are on the right side of history. Stand firm, and steady as she goes, Congressman Amash, as you instruct your spineless colleagues.

It’s not necessarily a binary choice. I see him as being principled (otherwise he wouldn’t be where he is right now), and as a founder of the freedumb caucus, I really don’t see a fit for him as a Democrat. What I’ve read is that if he continues in politics, it would likely be as a libertarian.
