    He set himself up as a single issue candidate supporting UBI. That's an issue that even the Dems couldn't get behind, much less the whole country.

    Won't it come down to Nevada? Anyways, love this post so much and I agree with it 100%. Both parties need to rebuild but that was especially said after Hilary's embarrassing loss and democrats didn't get behind a candidate well enough to make it an easy victory like it should have been. Anyways, don't know much about Tim Scott but I like what I see so far. Definitely need someone like that who can combine parties instead of divide. Bring some class back to American politics on both sides. Those days may be long gone but I still have faith Americans will rise to the challenge over these next couple of years no matter what happens.

    With what is available, not really sure why she conceded. She turned out to be way in over her head.

    Abrams is fat and ugly..... but incredibly charismatic and very very smart. She also would likely do well with the church set and thinks quick on her feet.

    She is also extremely good at the grass roots level and forming relationships at the lower levels.

    She is a very rate candidate, but in politics timing is everything..... I'll just say that she is the type of candidate that could meet with conservative black churches leaders and charm them, and then meet with radical left wing atheists and progressives and hold her own.

    I hope he keeps at it, because many Republicans love UBI too (Freedom Fund Rarrrrr). It's a massive change, but I think it is a worthy sacrifice to push the idea.

    morality shtick enabled. one day you will come to realize that chip is gone and will need a different move.

    to be fair you and general the most civil.

    i do feel bad on some levels that repug party hung their hat on wrong guy.

    it took just enough of rebel coalition to come together and oust.
    if repugs can redeem and bring in a real guy it would be easy to have good chance.

    trump wasnt the guy and his own act took him out.

    caesar was ambitious and therefore i slew him

    Yang should have ran for congress, senate, or something if he wants to be President some day instead of spending his time on CNN.

    I do like him and maybe he can find some place in Biden's cabinet if Biden wins but I'm really not for anyone that has 0 experience in public service.

    Agree with this! Was keeping tabs on their website a lot of the night, and they've handled this fairly professionally. Glad I was looking at them.

    Yeah, it was a typo error or something. Not a big deal but I'm sure the Qanon contingency of the right will run with it.

    Twitter keeps flagging it as "fake news", but I don't trust media outlets, including social media, to be unbiased here.

    If true, it's pretty much statistically impossible. I would welcome a real explanation.
