This guy is a GOP rep who came into the House as a Tea Partier.
Perhaps his polling is telling him that the people of Michigan are drifting hard away from Trump. But I think this is the rare county-over-party guy.

He has opposed and disappointed his paty ever since.
You really know nothing about politics in this region, but let me explain. A Republican will always win in GR. he did not come in on a Tea Party wave. Instead he lied about what he would do in office to DeVos's who supported his campaign financially and more importantly with their blessing.
He is an iconoclast and a Never Trumper, and frankly, he has supported the left on many critical issues. He was a thorn to his party long, long before trump, and no one in GR is at al surprised by this.

.......both Trump and the GOP have separately concluded that he needs to be replaced in the primary, and Amash’s funding and support has dried up. He knows his goose is cooked which is why he is speaking out now (trying to secure future employment and revenge).
Amah is not a liberal, nor is he actually a conservative. He is an opportunist. He could easily switch to Dem and say or do anything they wanted to have a prestigious position, but the Dems also know that he simply can’t be trusted.
There are some people who disagree with Trump sincerely in the GOP such as Romney. Amish is not one of those guys.

They’re probably all wrong though. Your gut said otherwise.

I'll just leave this at "I know more about this than you do".
"and frankly, he has supported the left on many critical issues"
Like?
Trump's Border Emergency and the M.T.R. that would exempt domestic violence victims from a proposed lengthened background check time.
He sided with Democrats there.
I recall

Correct, he thinks for himself. Honestly nuts how partisan and tribal politics has become. No matter what side of the aisle every member of congress should not be afraid to challenge group think. This is why they are put there by the electorate.

The MSM and other side for his next gig

Trump in this trade. He and his brother import cheap tools of made in China . He is one of hundreds of politicians bought by China. He should be impeached immediately.
This was no surprise. He's like calling Mnuchin a Democrat.

Perhaps there is still hope that my party sours on the usurper although the odds are pretty long.
