Republican Rep. Justin Amash
who has written increasingly contemptuous critiques
of Trump's behavior
as outlined in the Mueller report
and has even discussed
the possibility of impeachment
has now resigned
from the House Freedom Caucus
that he himself helped found
and which was inspired
by the Tea Party Movement.
Now Amash is reportedly mulling over
a third-party presidential bid
as a libertarian.
To which this poet says
if you do run
please run as a Republican
because what this country needs
in a candidate who knows
that party division is a good thing
if party unity
means supporting the unconscionable.
