If sanity was a requirement Trump would never made it past the day he announced his bid to run. We are long long past sane.

Yang is awesome. I don't think he'll ever be president but we've got to find a way to get him in place way up in an administration.

Sad to see Yang go. I thought he was a strong candidate. He was the only one I saw who could pull hard from the Trump vote.
Glad he made a run and hope he continues to try in the future. I'm disappointed in the process though. We like to tell ourselves "Anyone can be president" and then we see a likeable political outsider who isn't a billionaire gain little traction, it is disheartening.
Politics is really a classism game whether we choose to acknowledge it or not.

I don't know that I'd go that cynical here. You could see the inexperience manifest throughout his campaign, and yes, being a bigger name would have attracted more support initially. But you build up to that, it doesn't happen immediately.

I do generally like the way he thinks. Not sure what cabinet position would be best suited for him.
The cabinet position that is in charge of handing me $1000 a month.
Another lotto ticket that didn't come in.

Trump not having experience was a plus for him getting elected. I was hoping America was still on board with that. I had confidence Yang would surround himself with quality people to make up for his lack of political experience.

That was part of Trump's appeal, but it was also tempered with a healthy dose of broad relatability, and a "one of us" feel. I think Yang and his campaign didn't have that veneer to a great enough extent. It's a thing he'll need to improve in future campaigns.

Wow... I just lost nearly all respect for this guy....
Should he have dubbed his plan "Social Security for All"?

Still in the running for VP, but the chalks are all female.

I listened to him this morning on Chris Jericho’s podcast and everytime I hear him he keeps growing on me.

I think this is a perfect example of what this country needs right now, you and Max are pretty solidly pro Trump and I’m obviously pretty solidly anti-trump yet we can all rally around someone like Yang. There’s not many candidates but this could be said about. The left made a major mistake.

I've followed Yang on Twitter for a while now and most of his tweets are insightful or just everyday dad type tweet, but he has had a couple recently that rubbed me the wrong. He isnt a pro trump guy at all, but understands how he came to be president. Establishment politics weren't working for 50% of America.
He's had more "Blame Trump" type tweets over the last couple weeks that sound a lot like establishment Democrat type tweets.
I think the guy has a future in politics and I'm excited for him still, I just dont want him to go from political outsider to partisan politician.

As any good centrist is going to likely do, some views will like rub some on one side wrong while other rub the other side wrong. No way around that, but I also think that’s super healthy as it brings different view points together and talking.

That the left made a mistake?
If so, I think the power in the Democratic Party didn’t put their support behind him the way they could have as Biden was in their view the best choice/hope to beat Trump (which I also don’t agree with). And from the voters side I think they went with the name brand. I really feel like this selection had an opportunity to advance the party forward for years to come ( be it Yang or Mayor Pete, etc etc). That clearly didn’t happen.

I agree with what you're saying about Yang and the DNC's awful primary setup, but Biden was left for dead before South Carolina. He had no money then that blowout changed everything.

Yang basically said the DNC felt Biden was the most mainstream candidate to get behind to beat Trump. The wanted a familiar face etc.
