That's because it was televised on ABC. After the debate, the other cable stations had their analysis. MY guess is all the other networks were down during the debate.

Etc.

I didn’t like his giveaway campaign stunt. But he just hauled in almost ½ million voters to his data base with that move that is costing his campaign $1.2 mil. For contrast: Tom Steyer has recently spent 4x that on Facebook ads to gain 125,000 names, ¼ the haul for 4x the cost.

When Yang wears his MATH hat (Make America Think Harder), he puts his money where his mouth is.

Smart strategist.

We’ll see how well he fleshes out more details. I suspect this guy’s in for the long haul. After what they did to Bernie in 2016, the DNC high mucky-mucks are going to have a harder time squelching Yang if he keeps gaining.
I dunno about Yang, I initially supported him and donated to his campaign, then he came out with some really dump policies: "decriminalize heroin but not cocaine because cocaine is different?" I'm sorry but that doesn't show that this guy is a very deep thinker, he claims that's what Portugal did but it isn't they decriminalized all drugs. He wants to “ask colleges to forgive in part or in whole the debts of those who do not graduate,” The problem is that schools don't hold student loan debt so they have zero ability to discharge it.

I don't want a President who doesn't do some fact checking before talking, we have one now, so I moved my support to Amy Klobuchar but it looks like she won't be in the running much longer so I will support whoever the nominee is.

For you far right folks, here’s another confirmation link from Breitbart:

I knew Kamala would have a tough time in California, the people of California know her too well.

Yang needs some work. He’s new at this. But he has my serious interest so far. His intentions and intuitions seem excellent. A cadre of experienced advisors will be meaningful to a guy like this ... as contrasted to Trump’s boast of how he would surround himself with “the best people” ... which he certainly hasn’t, and in the cases where he has had competent and sometimes even excellent experience brought on board, he ignores and then sh*ts on them ...

Apparently a number of the lower tiered candidates are not showing well in their home states. Never a good sign.

You guys have fun debating over who the best candidate will be now because whoever it is will lose. I’m not a fan of Trump personally but as long as the economy is strong and unemployment is down he’s unbeatable. Outside of the west coast people don’t care about paying off loans, free health care, illegals getting the red carpet treatment. Did you notice there was not one question about the economy in the debates? Speaks for itself. Next time Trump has a rally check out the audience. Face it you guys got Trump for another 5 years.

I thought Yang is an idiot from day one. No fooling me, but I want higher bribery, how about $100k for a couple. I might go for him.

If the economy is strong....


Why did the Feds lower the interest rate?


And why are Trump calling for even more rate decrease?

Because Europe is officially in a recession. Negative interest rate. It’s going to affect USA.

Makes it easier to buy a house or car as interest rates there drop s well. Not so good for saving interest though.

Perhaps because Trump is excellent at business and can see what will help prevent a recession in the future. Face it Trump is always 3 steps ahead of everyone else.
