House Republican not ruling out Libertarian run in 2020

Politico

GOP Rep. Justin Amash on Sunday did not rule out a run for the White House in 2020 as a libertarian, but said it was "not on his radar."

"I would never rule anything out," the Michigander said on CNN's "State of the Union."

"That's not on my radar right now, but I think that it is important that we have someone in there who is presenting a vision for America that is different from what these two parties are presenting," he said. Amash is the chairman of the House Liberty Caucus, which represents libertarian-minded lawmakers.

Amash, who was first elected as part of the tea party wave in 2010, notably did not endorse Donald Trump for president in 2016. Recently, he was one of 13 House Republicans who opposed the president's national emergency declaration.

without equity and justice.

i'd salute him for not being mesmerized by trump, but he seems to belong to the equally weird ayn rand cult.
