Is anyone else trying to decipher the smoke signals being sent by Justin Amash’s Twitter feed?

First he posts this after Cruz’s withdrawal, leading some to think he’s hinting at a third party run.

Then yesterday:

Is he simply suggesting that he’s not going to vote for Trump?  Or does his “soon” suggest something bigger?

The third party option wouldn’t exist in order to win the presidency, in any case.  They know they’re going to lose.  The purpose would be to provide a place for Trump-hating conservatives to temporarily park their loyalties.  Thus, they don’t really need to be on the ballot in every state.
