1. Same crap every election! We care about the poor. But they never do anything democrats are liars and scammers. At least President Trump kept his word. That means alot and says he's a man of his word. Trump 2020!!

2. Yang talks about enabling and the rest follow along. Making more people willing to do the same thing. Encouraging single parenthood.

   Instead he should do what is best for the kids. Keep families together and pay workers well so they don't need duel income. Not give away free money.
   Tie the amount of money taken out of a company by owners to the employee payroll totals if you want wages higher and unemployment low.
   The Democrat socialist version with high taxes giving the workers efforts to the lazy is a joke. Stop the false dichotomy of socialism v.s. capitalism. We can do better than both.
   Republicans and Democrats are both failing the people.

3. ALL LIES! ALL DECEPTION! DO NOT VOTE!

4. my take on this is that they don't want a good candidate that's young, spontaneous, energetic, etc. such as Andrew Yang…

5. So what was bernies answer to this ? More government for the corrupt government .??

6. Please tell me WHERE IS ALLLLL THIS MONEY we are going to hand out coming from….. Is there money trees I know nothing about..Please tell me so I can go buy one…

7. B.s. I am an average 61 year old woman who has only been able to start a 401K LAST YEAR has seen unbelievable growth on what I’ve put in..The economy IS BETTER for me..

8. Andrew Yang is an American entrepreneur, philanthropist, author, politician, and lawyer. He attended Brown and Columbia university. Among other things, he majored in political science, economy and law. He had a SAT score of 1220 and attended a programm for gifted kids. His father is a physicist and his mother currently an artist (previously graduated with a master in statistics). They are immigrants that worked hard to offer their children a future. Andrew Yang used this opportunity and founded Venture for America (VFA), a nonprofit organisation focused on creating jobs in cities struggling to recover from the Great Recession.

   And here is a video of him holding a TED talk seven years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t383l_7-o4o&t=645s. Btw his skin was already flawless back then.

9. Take their guns and take their wealth and you're the new king.

10. As a public speaker and former Mayoral candidate of a large Texas city, I can tell you these people have no idea of connecting with their audiences. Trump is the master of it. My suggestion to these people is to talk to everyone as if you're talking to your drinking buddy or church member. Tell them what you really think and don't hold any punches. People love Trump cause he's brash and honest, New York style. Go Trump 2020.

11. Steyer speaks the truth!!!

12. Truth Telling: Is America really ready for a woman president? One far left and the other too weak to go up against DJT. Are they ready for an Older Jewish Socialist president, Are they ready for a Gay president, Are they ready for a questionable slow talking president from a previous administration, Are they ready for a tech giant Asian American president, Are they ready for Mr Steyer?

13. Screw you Biden, being a single dad is every bit as hard if not harder than being a single mom. I’m so sick of everything related to “men” being demonized and thought to be inferior or somehow privileged compared to females. Meanwhile every “feminist” girl does everything they can to embrace masculine traits.

14. Yang hit on the truth but didn’t realize it: majority of kids are born to single mothers. We have to return to traditional family values if we want poverty to decrease in the average family. Having two income earners per household makes all the difference in the world.
    Also, when the Dow Jones is doing good everybody’s 401(k)s are doing good too so yes the economy being good does help every day average Americans.

15. Amy, I appreciate the empathy. But how does that translate helping people?

16. I voted already… #YangGang

17. All the candidates saying of WHAT to do to improve poverty in America But most important is HOW? True about President Trump doesn’t know anything about poor people because he grew up in a rich family riding Mercedes & pay less tax Not like most of us hard working class driving beaten up Honda Civic , cup noodles & sadly pay more tax for politicians to fighting each other between democratic & republican instead of working together helping improve our country. Amen America!

18. Has Warren and Yang had sex?

19. I cant even listen to any politician after andrew yang, it was hard to listen to any of this to be honest, its like high school students compared to phd master yoda super sayin god mode.

20. The way people get out of poverty is make good life decisions, dont knock up a girl before you have good pay, get your certificate of a complete tech course, work for contractors to get xp on the field, apply once youve gained knowledge and know what your talking about, get a job in tech or start a business. Its not rocket science people are just lazy af and expect 100k a year

21. I love yang the most, but i have to say Amy did amazing im not even gonna lie

22. YANG2020

23. People need to understand that there’s more to a successful economy and country than just the unemployment rate. Yang seems to be the only candidate that understands that there if far more that goes into it.

24. Marianne Williamson looks weird today

25. Ahhhhhhhh boody giest…emagine her negotiating U.S. interests with Iran with her husband by her side. They'd execute her.
