[Teh One Who Knocks]

I highly doubt that anyone polling at or around 1% out of the democrat contenders will win the nomination.

ABC News is reporting that a bunch of Hickenlooper's staff is quitting. Not surprising, I really doubt that anyone outside of Colorado really even knows who he is.

We know who he is. I do recall you bitching about him on occasion. And I saw that one or two of his campaign people are joining Beto's campaign?

No, I don't mean people here at the forum I mean the general populace as a whole. And yep, that's what ABC news is reporting.

Low odds, but I am not counting Yang out yet because his message is completely different.

What is your fascination with this asshole?

What is your fascination with this asshole?

He's not an asshole at all, counter to the vast majority of the field. His approach is the opposite, isn't going to play the gender/racial politics game most of the rest are. His message and priorities are completely different than the rest and his base is a broad cross section of the political spectrum. If anyone can break out from the bottom, it's Yang. He's one of the few capitalists and interesting to watch.

I'm at his website and I'm looking through some of his platforms. Of course, the first one I notice is gun control. He says "subject to licensing and education" to continue to enjoy our constitutionally protected natural right to keep and bear arms? No.

I could go down the list and list out every problem I have with his positions, but I'd be turning this into a "why RBP is wrong and Yang is indeed an asshole" thread. I'd rather not.

I've been to his website before too, because of RBP. I do concede that he does have some decent ideas for some issues. But then he goes and ruins that with some way out there whackadoodle ideas that completely undermines his credibility (IMHO).

There are a few things that seem like good ideas on their face, but they also seem like for those things to work, liberties must be surrendered. Other things aren't within the scope of Presidential power. But that's common with all Presidential candidates, now isn't it? Promise things they have no ability nor legal or constitutional authority to accomplish.

It's your party, Tulsi. You had to know that there would be shenanigans considering what went down in 2016.

The interviews are far better explanations then the position statements. Shapiro, Rogan.. but there are a bunch.

I don't agree with him on a lot of things also. All I am saying is he is off the path and on a better path than the rest of the field. He is also addressing something huge (AI/Automation and massive job eliminations) that no other candidate is touching.
