    People keep bringing up all these big money bogeyman and I would like to state on the record: Bring it on! Soros, Koch, Adelson, Gates, DeVos, whomever. If you uncover any of these people dumping piles of cash on the LP, please post ASAP and I will be *stoked*.

    it just does not make sense for the right to potentially split their vote like this. they are going to team up.

    this doesn't pass the smell test.

    i think amash is a plant by the trump administration.

    amash voted to impeach and he left the gop. trump is going to extend an olive branch and squash the beef, and right wing media is going to say "see, trump holds no ill will against him, how presidential." they will join forces to beat "the radical left". it will also be the "you don't change presidents during wartime" strategy, and amash will bring his tea party bona fides to help reel in the never trumpers within the gop. just watch.
    This is not going to happen but I will give you full credit if it does

    the republicans are too smart when it comes to national elections. they will get their machine going and it is quite possible that this will happen. 

    if trump was concerned or angry about this, why has he not rage tweeted about it today? why is he not fearing being flanked by the right?

    i would not say take this to the bank, but don't rule it out.

    Gary Johnson and Bill Weld got 4.5 million votes in 2016. 2 Republican Governors. There's always a Libertarian candidate. This happens every Presidential election.

    amash left the gop and voted to impeach. trump should be losing his shit right now, but he isn't. it is too suspicious that he is being quiet about this. this does not add up either.

    Oh please.  Get off the high horse.  It's not like libertarianism is some political force for change in this country.  It's nothing more than a protest vote.

    With no real life experience of how it would actually work as a functioning society to point to. Just ask a certain someone who hasn’t been around for awhile.

    Social media has never influenced anyone to vote for a particular candidate.

    Yeah, I'm amazed at how easy it is for people to start spreading conspiracies after refuting the other side's conspiracy theories the last 4 years. It's disappointing.

    Oh well, time to get get back to my NYC pizza parlor...
    It's a hopeless situation...

    How can you not read the last few pages of this thread and just put your head in your hands?

    In thinking about Amash running I was prepared for a lot of reactions, but did not see this one coming

    It just goes to show how each side can see what they want to see while the other side thinks it's crazy...because it is.

    Each side thinks their argument is based in reality and fact. Yuck. It is easy to get caught up in if you suspend disbelief.

    I'm busting balls about it, but should clarify that I do realize it's a minority that just happens to be very vocal. Same with social media.

    Nearly 40% of the corporate money Amash has raised is from 4 sources: 

    Cato Institute $35,000
    The Cato Institute was founded as the Charles Koch Foundation in 1974 by Charles Koch, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the conglomerate Koch Industries. 

    Amway/Alticor Inc $163,205
    Alticor is a privately owned American corporation which is run by the DeVos family

    Windquest Group$92,275
    CEO and Founder Richard DeVos

    Club for Growth$275,605
    Founder: Stephen Moore - Donald Trump's Economic Advisor


    Nearly 14% ($196,000) came from Michigan Industrial Tools, aka Amash Imports
    Sector- Wholesale Trade. Trade Name- Michigan Industrial Tools, Amash Brothers Distributing. So
    MIT/Tekton doesn’t make anything, just “Imports” & “distributes” shit from China

    Amash is owned by the Republican party and China
