    Oh come on now!!!

    We all know Bill Clinton had nothing to do with Epstein, his spokesperson said so shortly after his arrest.

    Compared to a majority of the Democratic contenders, he's probably as moderate as one can be. Though, the fact that he keeps making so many gaffs while talking is what scares me. He'd say the wrong thing, and we're either in bed with China or we're giving up more secrets to them (both of which happened during the Clinton and Obama eras).

    As to name recognition. Yep, it's a thing...

    So a man showing emotion to a supporter over the loss of one of her children is a weakness. Okay. I hope I never reach that point of being so callous to someones tragedy that I view it as a point of weakness. The funny part, your pro-life and making fun of a man crying at a mothers loss of a child.

    Except the woman was a plant, her child was killed in 2011 and the woman lives 14oo miles from where the rally was. Sure I am jaded but it is politics and hell if you will give away debate questions to the preferred candidate what else will the DNC pull?

    I just like him over Trump because he knows the difference between Toledo and Dayton, they are 150 miles apart.

    Okibob has yang filed for bankruptcy ?

    Also I like his work

    "Venture for America, which he founded in 2011 with the mission “to create economic opportunity in American cities by mobilizing the next generation of entrepreneurs and equipping them with the skills and resources they need to create jobs"

    Yang is not the preferred candidate of the DNC, that would be creepy Joe. Given the fact that he has only had 12 minutes talking time in both Democratic debates and is still gaining momentum you might want to rethink that. He is no normal Democrat candidate and the DNC knows it and doesn't like it. After all, you Republicans should love the DNC, they work harder at electing Republicans than they do Democrats.

    As far as that lady being a plant, that's "fake news" from the "lamestream media". See what I did there, I quit using any critical thinking skills and took the lemming route.

    No not ever, he is a successful entrepreneur. He is like one of us common folk that wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Still married to his first wife and hasn't sexualized any of his children either. But who knows, maybe he will become a whoremongering philanderer reality tv star that has a higher staff turnover rate than McDonald's and the lemmings will love him. For bonus points maybe he can mock our asian allies and brag about his man crush on a dictator from the North.

    Great, just what we need, a naturalized Taiwanese import democrat lawyer with socialistic tendencies promising to pay anyone over 18 a grand a month. Yeah he's way better than Trump because orange man bad....

    All I have seen is the proposal saying a check of $1000 per month for anyone over 18. I couldn't stomach any more research past that one.

    I don't need a 12000 tax cut at the cost of my constitutional freedoms, expanded baby murdering, increased taxes out the a$$, American jobs, expanded EPA regulations, etc...ya know everything in the democrat platform...no sir that sounds like a bad deal.

    The way I read it is you get the 1000 a month and no other federal benefits, is that correct bob?

    Nah, he doesn't want that, he is still chasing the carrot on a stick they are dangling out in front of him.

    And orange man bad.. Chit, bad would be a improvement.

    The UBI was dreamed up by Thomas Payne, one of our founding fathers. I like it for the pure fact that it stimulates local economies and tax base.

    As far as what really impresses me about Yang, his 79 other proposals. The fact that he is not scapegoating immigrants and truly calling out what is taking American jobs, AI and Automation. He is reasonable on 2nd amendment rights. I mean let's face it, something is going to happen.

    To answer your question @Germ, if your benefits exceed the UBI, you still get your benefits but no UBI. If the UBI exceeds your benefits, you get the UBI.
