Some Yang Supporters Now Plan to Vote For...Trump?

With entrepreneur Andrew Yang out of the race, the big question is which candidate his supporters will now back.

What some may be surprised to hear is that not all of them will choose another Democratic candidate. According to The Hill’s Saager Enjeti, some Yang Gang members now plan to vote for President Trump.

He shared a couple of their messages on Twitter.

Hearing from some members of the Yang Gang who now say they will vote Trump 2020 because they want to support a working class candidate but don't like Bernie's culturally woke element. Interesting phenomenon

As unworkable (and yes, I know that his supporters will insist otherwise) as Yang's basic income proposals were, Yang was the only Democrat that made any effort to show how life would be better under his policies.

You'll also note that that was part of Donald Trump's appeal: the promise of jobs returning from overseas, in particular. His slogan was "Make America Great Again."

You look at the Democratic field... and so much of it is abstract, negative, and worst of all, DIVISIVE. Their longstanding gambit of identity politics and victimhood hustling has created a hodgepodge of policy positions that not only benefit only narrow demographics, but are often divorced from basic truths. Some even demonstrably HURT the very people they claim to help.

Andrew Yang is far more intelligent - and experienced in ways that actually count - than any of his former rivals for the Democrat Party nomination. Amy Klobachar is second on that list in my opinion, but she appears to suffer from a mean streak in personal relationships that may become more apparent, as her associates will attest.  As to Yang however, the idea of a "universal basic income" is no panacea, but it does have the virtue of being far less expensive than the vast maze of government-administered social programs that currently exists.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
