lowkey i think yang didn't do a bad job. Despite the fact that I'm pretty sure he got the least amount of time (I think he only got 3 questions?) he refrained from joining the interrupt/trying to talk over people bandwagon. I mean, the fact that he got almost no speaking time obviously limits things but I'd place him miles ahead of Hickenlooper, for example.


He SHOULD have been jumping in. You are competing to become the Democratic nominee, and if you get the nomination, you'll have to go toe-to-toe with Donald Trump. Yang looked like he didn't want to be there. He was HORRIBLE, and the only reason I didn't rank him dead last was because Williamson is certifiably insane.


There's no need to jump in. Let the other candidates embarrass themselves.


You do realize who won the 2016 Republican primary, and then the presidency, right? This reserved bullshit won't work in an era where voters need to be entertained by the spectacle of a jangling set of keys hanging over their head, in the form of someone confident and boisterous.


Trump never went on the offensive against anyone who didn't come at him first. He didn't need to, because loads of candidates were chomping at the bit to go after the frontrunner. And when they did, Trump hit back with 10 times the force. Trump is also miles better at this kind of vicious attacking than Andrew Yang can be expected to be. Like, if he's not going to be amazing at it.....don't play that game.
