You ready?

I was born ready.

Welcome to the Advisory Opinions Podcast where we pour one out for the presidential campaign of Justin Amash.

Sarah?

Yeah.

Before we really preview the rest of this podcast, here's the burning question.

Did your tough questioning of Justin Amash and our podcast drive him out of the presidential race?

Well, so why do you think he left?

Why is it that you think that Justin Amash left?

And let's do a little, let's do a little roundup of presidential contest news.

So why do you think he left, Sarah?
