Congressman Justin Amash does not like some Trump picks

[MWmetalhead]

He is not pleased with the nomination of Jeff Sessions and is not a fan of John Bolton (who is only a rumored candidate for a Trump cabinet post), either.

The party is still fractured...

Nope. The Libertarian wing being upset (Amash and Paul) is hardly indicative of much.

[screen glare]

You're correct. What is always truly indicitive is swastikas along with Trump's name popping up everywhere ... parks, schools, spray painted on vehicles, etc.

I like much of what Amash stands for - plus he supported Paul/Cruz.

I do too. However he and Paul, along with Libertarians in general, are quite wrong headed with some of their foreign policy.

Peace through strength works.

I like Amash too, and would not mind him running for Senate in two years.

[TC Talks]

I thought he tried that already and was ass handed.

Nope. That was Hoekstra.

He's not Hillary Clinton, and that is enough for most of the country.

Well actually that depends on how you want to define most...

"Most" people voted Democrat for House, Senate and President... that should give you pause.

Nope.

House and Senate are localized elections. It doesn't matter if lots of low information voters in urban areas of New York vote for Chuck Schumer at a rate of 70% and 52% of Indiana voters vote for Todd Young. They are separate elections and their vote totals are not added together.

Also, 34-35/50 governors will be Republican, depending on the NC outcome.

While that's true the overall point I'm making is that in sheer numbers there are more Democrats than Republicans. I'm not talking about 30 Repiblican states with little population. You are the smaller party overall. That doesn't bode well in say 5 or 10 years as older voters that voted Republican die off. The Democrats have to get back to the working class economic focus they once had. That means throwing the "progressive movement" (which I'm not a fan of) in the trash and moving rightward towards the center.

Folks who are young now aren't going to magically become Republican later. People tend to stick to their political ideas for life, that suggests eventually the Reoublicans need to tack to the left and find the center. Then they need to compromise and work with the Democrats and vice versa. But one thing at a time, let's get both parties to the center first.
