The Senate Trouble-Maker in Waiting - NationalJournal.com:
"Not long ago, the idea of someone like Amash clearing the primary field in a Senate race would have been unthinkable.
An outspoken libertarian with views that often run counter to recent GOP orthodoxy (he led a failed coup against Speaker John Boehner earlier this year), Amash has minimal support among the Republican political class.
He’s also only 32 years old, serving his second term in Congress, and has little name recognition—even across Michigan.
But in modern GOP politics, as shown by the examples of Sens. Paul, Marco Rubio of Florida, and Ted Cruz of Texas—all of whom were opposed by the establishment in their primary races—conservative outsiders have an inside track to the upper chamber."
