    Right, you can't run for two federal offices at the same time.  So the last Libertarian in Congress is preparing to retire.

    If your preferred candidate is a grizzled Senator it's "experience and accomplishments!"

    If your preferred candidate is a young-ish upstart it's "an outsider who will shake up the status quo!"

    I would argue Obama sponsored and co-sponsored more legislation in his short senate career than Amash has during his time as a Libertarian.

    I would agree with that. Yeah I would rather be voting for someone that I agree with over someone who has passed a lot of legislation. I’m in Texas so Trump is winning here no matter what I do with my vote.  Maybe I will contribute to Amash just so I don’t feel bad for continuing the more of the same trajectory

    He will likely win Texas but it is no longer a lock like states such as Alabama or Mississippi anymore

    The presidency is a leadership position. Success as a policy wonk in congress rarely indicates whether or not someone is qualified for it.

    You're mixing 'passed' with sponsoring and co-sponsoring.  If you're not even attempting legislation, and not voting for legislation, what precisely are you doing there?  Voice of the contrarian?

    No thanks. My plan is to start a thread if/when he gets the nomination. That way I can update the first post with positions, relevant media, etc. I'll post stuff unique to him there and stuff related to the general race here (or whichever thread we're on when this one gets locked).

    So the first half of your post directly contradicted the second half of the post.  You believe in voting for what you believe in, but then want to contribute to Amash who likely stands in direct contrast to all of your stated social safety net positions.  Interesting...

    Has he formally announced or is he still in exploratory mode? Seems weird, either way, not to have positions. Makes it easier when the winds change direction I guess.
