New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand dropped out of the Democratic presidential race yesterday evening after failing to qualify for the third round of primary debates, slated for September 12. Tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang, meanwhile, will be one of ten Democrats on stage in Houston next month.

To qualify for the debate, candidates had to hit 2 percent in at least four public-opinion polls and secure 130,000 unique donors. Among the others not to reach the threshold for September were Colorado senator Michael Bennet, Hawaii representative Tulsi Gabbard, and Montana governor Steve Bullock.

While Yang managed to snag a spot in the lineup, his fellow non-politician Marianne Williamson failed to do so. As of Wednesday, the author and self-help guru still needed to reach 2 percent in three more polls in order to qualify. She already met the donor requirement.

Yang’s star has slowly been rising throughout the primary, going from little support to speak of in April to hovering around 3 percent in most polls this month. Though he had a rocky first debate, he was widely considered to have done well in the second round, standing out from the seasoned politicians on stage with his focus on policy solutions, specifically his universal-basic-income proposal.

Edited, can't post entire article.

His bid is still a long shot, of course, but it’s notable that he has been able to gain enough traction to consistently poll ahead of politicians like New Jersey senator Cory Booker and former congressman Beto O’Rourke — along with making the third debate ahead of sitting Democratic politicians. Perhaps his steady success is a sign that his no-nonsense approach is appealing to Americans sick of politicians’ double-speak, as well as to Democratic voters looking for a somewhat moderate option in a sea of progressive candidates.

As of now, and absent any surprise polling in the next two weeks, Yang will be joined on stage in September by Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Cory Booker, Julián Castro, Amy Klobuchar, and Beto O’Rourke.

He is an actual self made billionaire that did not inherent is company from his father.

He polls well for many of the same reasons people liked Trump, he does not talk like a politician and he has “walked the walk”.

He's interesting, and a bit mad. Always a great floor show.

yeah

too many already leading the polls

 

[Harpy Eagle]

President Yang?????? not a chance....

Very true, far too many racist and xenophobes in the country for that to happen,.

 

[whitehall]

If Hillary could get the debate question in advance and cheat in the debates there is no doubt that the polling data can be manipulated so as not to embarrass the DNC and the clown car.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

He offered more free stuff.

His offer of free stuff is a bit different. He sees a future where there are not enough jobs for everyone, and I am not sure he is wrong, in fact I do think it will become a problem during the lifetime of my children. Once self driving vehicles are the norm there will be a domino effect that will be hard to stop.

My son is 17 and he has a very dark view of his future, sort of worst case scenario. We talk about this a lot and are trying to lead him into a career that is harder to automate.

Hey Goofy, you really got a thing against successful families passing down their business in part or whole to heirs? So like what's your thing with the Royal Family of England then? And when Yang dies, should he just chuck his entire empire and wealth to public donations and liquidate it rather than pass it onto heirs?

 

[NightFox]

He is an actual self made billionaire that did not inherent is company from his father.

Not quite, he's a low single digit MILLIONaire that founded a non-profit (VFA).

... but you did get the part about not inheriting his company from his father correct.

I have nothing against successful families passing down their business, I just have more respect for those who earn it themselves instead of just getting lucky with who their parents were.

[basquebromance]

Biden’s campaign is going to collapse, Bernie won’t be able to expand his base of support, and that people will get scared off of Pocahontas as soon as they think seriously about her going head-to-head with President Donald Trump.

that's Beto's path to victory my friends!

 

[basquebromance]

The idea that if we just get Trump out of the way, that things are going to revert to some normal pattern, as biden seems to think, ignores so much of the wreckage that exists in D.C

“We [the Democrats] should never have lost to Donald Trump to begin with. We just manifestly should not have lost to him to begin with. But we did lose. And that is proof that we can lose again.” - beto

I heard these doomsday predictions in the 70's- "computers will put everybody out of work"! And jobs were much harder to get then. Of course, there were not 22 million illegals to deal with- get rid of them, and your son will be safe.
