Of course and it is great news. Now, Yang can expect a couple of million of new followers,

On the other hand, frankly, was that really a surprise? It doesn't feel like one to me. I expected Elon to either support Yang or nobody at all. I mean, who else would he support?

I wonder who the next big shot to endorse Yang will be?

Whoopi Goldberg seems like she’s one step away from formally endorsing him. She sings his praises quite a bit on The View.

Now, that was kind of surprise, although Whoopi can be spot on from time to time and then bullish about it. She took the UBI idea and is now advocating it whenever they have a political guest. Which is good.

Wow, what a great interview on CNN, Yang talking about his $1000 a month Freedom Dividend is not all about the money. He seems to be expanding is message.

Yes, we who already read a book and have been listening to podcasts are familiar with what dividend really means for the recipients, but many people weren't and still many aren't. This is another proof that Yang listens to his supporters and adjusts accordingly, because exactly this issue - how to send the message about what dividend really means and do that in this very short tv format - was discussed a day or two before this show. It was on twitter I think or on one of those meeting with supporters.

All this nonsense happening daily just reinforces my conviction that you guys and girls need someone like Yang as president.

Your politicians on both sides just can't help themselves but perpetuate the hate. What they are doing now is use whatever tragic incidents happen to double down on the same hateful and accusatory rhetoric. Take these examples for instance: Trump-Beto-El-Paso, Warren-Philly-M.Brown-Police.

Does this approach solve any problems? Not by a long shot. It just solidifies their base and makes sure nobody there goes one inch from the prescribed party line. Very soon you are going to have two strictly opposing camps at each other throats. Literally. This is downright scary stuff you should seek to neutralize the best you can.

Another interview with CNN, looks like they're setting up a vs between Yang and Sanders, a capitalist vs a socialist. Debate 3 should be interesting.

CNN, Climate Town Hall

Anyway, our guy killed it, nailed it, took it out of the park. Answered every single question, none of which was a softball, with ease and unparalleled eloquence. Didn't miss the opportunity to be funny where appropriate - question about electric cars.

Now imagine after 30 minutes of Yang, trying to watch Kamala Harris. What's wrong with me Around 5:00 just stopped and wanted to go back to Yang for decontamination from all the circular talking. Yelling at youtube: lady, answer the damn question instead of repeating I'm gonna lead several times. I wouldn't let you lead a herd out to pasture. It wasn't even difficult to understand, it was twice easier than some of the questions Yang got from assorted physics PHDs and environmentalist leaders. Geez.

I'll try to watch some other candidates, but boy, I can see how difficult it might get. I'm not gonna lead
