Andrew Yang, (not the wiz kid genius tech entrepreneur billionaire as he wants us to believe, not even close) currently polling between 6th place and a comical footnote in history in Iowa, thinks he has finally hit on the thing that will unite Democrats behind his candidacy in Iowa on Monday and propel him to the White House in November. As reported in Politico :Pardon Trump? Yang says he might
But Yang on Sunday said that would make moving forward difficult. He would listen to the guidance of his attorney general, but added, “You have to see what the facts are on the ground.”
“If you look at history around the world, it's a very, very nasty pattern that developing countries have fallen into, where a new president ends up throwing the president before them in jail,” Yang said on ABC’s “This Week.”
Most strikingly, Yang appears to be taking the stance that throwing Trump in prison for his multitude of crimes is the equivalent of what Trump or Putin or any two bit dictator would like to do to their political opponents for no other reason other than that they are their opponents.
I don’t know about you, but this is the one thing that all of us can agree on, whether you’re the most “establishment” centrist moderate Biden fan or a die hard bern it all down Bernie supporter: we all want to see Trump’s sorry ass out of the White House, indicted, and hopefully behind bars where he belonged at least 30 years ago.
So, can we stop taking this guy seriously now, get on with the election and win this thing in November?
