Hopefully nothing much. His ideas honestly fly in the face of what this country was built on. He can try that experiment in another country if he wants.

It is a time when a large number of people around you start to think, speak and behave as if their rationality has gone out of the window.

As if Trump and his campaign and election weren't crazy enough...
Trump is the face of the new America ... no doubt.

I’m glad he decided to drop out. Not enough traction.

I think he'll end up as a secretary level cabinet official in another administration. He seems open-minded enough that he may serve with a Republican.

He's not going to be President but he's a sharp person with a lot of useful ideas, and it would be a damn shame if he went nowhere.

I think Bernie likes him though....wouldn’t be shocked if Bernie picks him as his running mate assuming Bernie is the nominee. I just don’t think America is ready for a female president. It seems like Warren and Amy still have a ways to go.

Yang still doesn’t have the recognition yet. I think in another 4yrs he will run again and be more of a force. I just also think America isn’t ready for an Asian American president. It is not his time yet. In 4 yrs he will be a force to reckon with.

Yang mentioned, before the Iowa primaries, that he would "kinda, sorta" want his primary voters to go to Sanders. He knew his campaign was basically done.

Yang raised a lot of hell on the internet. He reminds of Ron Paul in that kind of way. That didn't translate into many votes.
