Anyone who has been paying attention to politics since the Mueller report is familiar with the name of Justin Amash. He was the GOP congressman from Michigan who was forced to leave the party after he announced his intention to vote for Trump's impeachment (and, as you'll recall, that was before the Ukraine incident).
Anyway, he is seriously considering a 3rd party run (as a Libertarian, of course) and should announce a decision soon. Hard to figure at this point who he will hurt. He is unlikely to get many votes at all from real Trumpsters due to his "treachery." Although he gained a lot of respect from many Democrats because of his principled and independent stance on the impeachment issue, his very libertarian ideals would be a non-starter for most Democratic voters and almost no real Democratic voters will vote 3rd party while Trump is on the ballot.
