A new primary poll for Michigan’s 3rd Congressional district shows Rep. Justin Amash (R) down by a wide margin to his pro-Trump primary opponent.A Practical Political Consulting poll gives State Rep. Jim Lower, a republican from the state’s 70th district a 16 point lead over Amash, clocking in at 49% over Amash’s 33%.

Amash recently spouted off in several Twitter threads, claiming that the results of former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report on Russian “collusion,” which turned up empty, was grounds for impeachment of President Donald J. Trump.

His move sparked harsh backlash from pro-Trump constituents and questions about his dubious business ties to China.

He resigned from the House Freedom Caucus this week after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) admonished him for supporting state abuse of surveillance powers.

Big League Politics reported:

Michigan libertarian Congressman Justin Amash resigned from the House Freedom Caucus on Monday night. Amash had been earlier censured by the caucus for his left-wing policy stances in favor of impeaching President Trump.

He joined with Democrats in drawing reaching conclusions from an empty Mueller Report, claiming that Bill Barr was obfuscating Presidential crimes to personally protect Trump.

The Michigan congressman told Politico that he “no longer wished to be a distraction to the group.” He hadn’t shown up to caucus meetings in over a year and seems lately to have been associating more frequently with progressive Democrats.

He became a darling of establishment favorites like Mitt Romney for his Russia-conspiracy motivated attacks on the President.

Traditionally libertarians of Amash’s ilk have supported a foreign policy of peace, seeking to avoid the jingoistic and sensational rhetoric that fuels the grandiose Russia conspiracy of the left. But Amash seems to have completely disregarded that, taking the premise of a grand Russian interference plot at face value, directly from elite progressives in mainstream media and Washington.

Trump is reportedly considering supporting Lower in the primary race, which takes place on March 10.

"The Michigan Republican was elected in 2010 when a wave of tea party Republican lawmakers came to office. He voted against a number of key bills conservatives rallied behind. These bills included: the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, Kate’s Law, the Thin Blue Line Act, the Criminal Alien Gang Member Removal Act, and the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act." Kerry Pickett.
This clown isn't a conservative, and he's not a Republican. He's another worthless "Never Trump" RINO.
Right Justin Amash? Right?

Anti-Trump Rep. Justin Amash is Being Destroyed By MAGA Primary Challenger in the Polls

Michigan State Rep. Jim Lower announced in May that he will be mounting a primary challenge against Rep. Justin Amash over his comments about impeaching President Donald Trump — and the previously little known politician is already polling ahead of the longtime congressman.

Amash made national headlines after he called for the impeachment of President Trump, becoming the first GOP congressman or senator to do so. Soon after his statements, Lower announced that he will be sitting out the race for his third term in the state senate and will instead be running for the 3rd Congressional District seat that Amash has held since 2011.

According to a new poll from Practical Political Consulting, Rep. Amash is now polling 16 points behind his pro-Trump primary challenger, 49-33.Politico has reported that President Trump is also considering endorsing Lower.

“Trump has raised the primary challenge idea with Vice President Mike Pence and North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, a close Trump ally who co-founded the conservative House Freedom Caucus with Amash. Trump has also addressed the subject with Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, a former Michigan GOP leader who remains influential in the state,” Politico reports.
Lower, who is staunchly pro-Trump, said that he had been planning to run for the seat eventually, but decided now is the right time after Amash’s tweets about impeaching the president.
“Congressman Justin Amash tweets yesterday calling for President Trump’s impeachment show how out of touch he is with the truth and how out of touch he is with people he represents,” Lower said, according to a report from the Detroit Free Press. “He must be replaced and I am going to do it.”
Amash has not ruled out running against President Trump in 2020 as the Libertarian Party candidate.
