Realty is that

2015 this time "Donald Trump will never been President" and was polling last in primaries.

This time in 2007 Obama was trailing Hillary by 20 points.

John Kerry was polling 4% nationally.


Bill Clinton was an unknown governor.



Right now, while Andrew Yang is polling 5th nationally, as an unknown he has beaten congressmen and governors in polls and fundraising. He is one of the few trending upwards and unlike the others has a very strong and dedicated grassroots support.

Historically speaking, early frontrunners rarely become the nominee and Yang is at the right place. His biggest asset right now are his supporters. If he can keep his fundraising to stay in the race he can win this.

So both Trump and Obama were under dogs in the beginning. Both ended up winning fairly easily in the end. Can someone comment what Bush and Clinton experienced in the early part of the race?

Bill Clinton was the unknown underdog. He was a young governor of a Republican state.

I don't know much about Bush's primary but I'd imagine he was a favorite. He's from Texas and a solid name recognition

So people who are saying Yang has no chance are being disingenuous and going by their feelings and not data.

Washington Post / Interesting interview, there were foreign policy questions too, not just the usual Yang stuff we already know.
The journalist had some tough questions. Yang did great.

He did great in the interview although the interviewer seemed inexperienced, As if he was in a rush and couldn't segway between questions. Yang held his own and i wish he did more of these long-form interviews, Most politicians can't answer questions directly without notes or a teleprompter.

Or they say "I'll need to see the data", which one front-runner says quite often. I don't think Yang is a great comparison to Trump's outsider status, since Trump was/is a celebrity with a well-known name. He would clean up in a national election, but Democratic voters have a pretty poor history of choosing their presidential nominees.

Yang Gang,*

There are still a lot of people out there who haven’t heard our vision for the future of this country, and we are running out of time to reach them.*

We want to SHOCK the establishment, the media, and everyone watching by launching a big ad buy on TV and online. *This is how we reach these voters and show everyone what this movement is all about.*

To shoot, produce, edit, and then air ads in early primary states online and on TV, we need to raise $1.5 million by the end of October. *Will you help us reach this goal and pitch in $5 or more?


Received this email from the Yang Gang!!!!
