Yglesias thinking aloud on twitter on possible effects, there are replies:

I tweeted earlier my view that Amash in the race would take more votes from Biden than from Trump, but it’s worth saying this is in part a question of what tactical choices a candidate makes in terms of who to target, what messages to use, what media to seek out etc

If he wants to he *could* run a race focused on states with a clear GOP lean (Georgia, Texas) and spend all his time attacking Trump from the right as a godless New York adulterer or whatever and trying to get booked on local conservative talk radio stations.

the ultimate point on how divisive Trump can be:

2 of the 9 founding members of the House Freedom caucus have now served as Trump’s chief of staff (Mulvaney and Meadows).

1 of the 9 now looks to be running against him for president (Amash).
