You know how Donalds are about their polls.

Sure! Why not. Last time was pretty much an outlier as far as these things go. Just find the recent Yang discussions around here a bit cute.

Go Yang! Go!

Doesn’t 1% get him in the first debate?

Want to talk about how Donald Trump’s approval ratings at this time are indicative of a slam dunk reelection based on historical approval ratings of two term presidents of the past?

I’m pretty sure Anteater and I are the only ones that expressed support for him and Anteater alone is the only one to suggest he has a snowball’s chance in hell.

I’ve been on about universal basic income for a long time so yeah I want him to have a platform.

Too bad good ideas and honest people stand less a chance in politics than a..... well, you know.

If Trump doesn't get re-elected (coasting on an economy that sees no recession in sight - and no new wars), it'll be the GREATEST! presidential defeat IN HISTORY! The numbers will be HISTORICAL!. The loss will be UNPRECEDENTED!

Will be a bummer though. We'll just have to wait an extra 4 years for the slew of "My Time in the Trump White House" tell all books.

Can you even begin to imagine the loads of $$$$$ that's going to get waved in front of the noses of folks like KC and SHS by the big boy publishers?

Chula, don't be a goof. Before the first couple of debates Trump barely polled and was widely mocked for even announcing his candidacy. He was well known in pop culture but nobody thought he had even the slightest shot at displacing people like Jeb Bush or Ted Cruz. So what makes you think Yang couldn't pull off a similar feat?
