Axelrod and Costa on Amash leaving the idea of a presidential run open:

.@justinamash has left the party. Does that mean a POTUS race would be as an Indy? As I said yesterday, I think Trump would welcome it more than a primary challenge. It would lower the threshold needed to carry a state, which is meaningful for Trump in swing states. https://t.co/k1zov0GXor

Justin Amash is right. The toxic 2-party system has become an existential threat to the US...& the planet. Nearly 60% of US want to declare independence from 2-party tyranny. Time for #RankedChoiceVoting to bring more voices & choices, & freedom to vote our values, not our fears!

Justin Amash’s decision to become an independent means there are now zero Republicans in Congress who support impeaching the president.

You: Here’s my 800 word op-ed about the true meaning of the 4th of July based entirely on my political world view.

Me: When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another.

You didn’t like this tweet because you really like bbqing but never got around to reading that first line of a treatise against tyranny.
