Amash falls into that category of "Forgotten but not gone!"

Curiously, ABC news failed to mention the following in its article about Amash leaving the Republican Party.

His surprise announcement comes barely 24-hours after it was revealed how far behind he was in his own district, according to a poll obtained exclusively by Breitbart News.

Amash is polling at just 17 percent in the GOP primary, trailing State Rep. Jim Lower by double digits. Lower, who announced his candidacy as Amash revealed his support for impeaching Trump, is at 27 percent–a 10-point lead over Amash. Meanwhile another Amash challenger, State Rep. Lynn Afendoulis, is tied with the congressman for 17 percent–meaning one challenger to the incumbent representative is beating him by double digits and a second is already tied with him.

In declaring himself an independent, Amash is effectively dropping out of the race. He's got no chance of winning as an independent, but then he also had no chance of winning as a Republican. And his Limited Government political view is not sufficiently Leftist to give him a chance as a Democrat.
