Primary primers: why Justin Amash could be a game-changer without a chance

Late last month, former Republican Representative Justin Amash announced that he was exploring a presidential bid for the Libertarian Party. Jeffrey Michels and Olivier Lewis write that if Amash is able to gain the Libertarian Party’s presidential nomination, then he could find himself the kingmaker if he is able to win over Republican voters who dislike Donald Trump. Whether he does well or not, Justin Amash’s White House bid could inspire further Libertarian candidacies in a time of growing government deficits and intervention.
