So last night was the forth democratic presidential debate, 12 people on that overcrowded stage. And what we learned from that debate is that there is a couple of winners up there and there's quite a few people that really need to drop out as soon as possible. To me, before I get into this, the most interesting thing I've found during these debates is that it hasn't increased my support for any particular candidate, but it really has made me dislike even more members of the democratic party than I disliked before. And that was my biggest takeaway last night. So let's start with the losers. Biggest loser of the evening. Tulsi Gavart absolutely looked foolish up there on that stage for every single question that she was asked, even when they went into her wheelhouse, she couldn't do it. So I think Tulsi is pretty much finished after this debate. That was a horrid performance and a lot of people are walking away from that with a sour taste in their mouth. A couple other folks that really rubbed me the wrong way. Amy Klobuchar, what a horrible person. I mean just in general as a human being, Amy Klobuchar is just awful. But substantively, regardless of my personal feelings for anybody, Amy Klobuchar was up there arguing with Elizabeth Warren about why we can't or shouldn't make progress here in the United States. That that's odd. That's not ever something you want to hear from somebody running for president. You don't want to hear scale it back folks. We're not going to do good things. And yet that's all Amy Klobuchar had. She had a very combative attitude towards Elizabeth Ward and I think it's because Klobuchar right now is fighting for her life and she thought she could win it back last night. She couldn't. Other two biggest losers for me of the evening. Number one, Andrew Yang. Wow. I'm getting tired of hearing Andrew Yang talk about UBI. UBI, UBI folks, UBI, UBI, I don't know if you know this, but UBI, Oh my God. Come up with another plan and I know the yang gang's gonna go he's got over a hundred plans on his website cause you literally say that exact phrase every time somebody says that, almost like it's a pre made response. I don't trust him, I don't like him. His plan is awful. His value added tax would increase costs for consumers through the frickin roof and yet he's sitting there saying, we shouldn't have a progressive income tax. We should just have a value added tax. That's a tax on American consumers folks. Andrew Yang is not serious. Andrew Yang doesn't have an actual plan to solve the problem of automation, which according to economists isn't even a problem. Not now nor in the near future. So why waste our time? Andrew Yang is not a horrible person. He's not a horrible candidate. He's got some ideas that he has not fully flushed out and they're not ready for prime time. That's the thing with Andrew Yang. Also, I would feel better maybe if he were a member of an administration, get a little bit of experience in there. Try to put these policies in place that way, which is actually a lot easier. And then we'll see if they can work. But I don't think Andrew Yang is ready in any capacity to be president of the United States. Now, the person who pissed me off the most from that debate, mayor Pete, Pete Buttigieg running to the center faster than anyone I have ever seen. In fact, he is running so fast towards the center that he's already on the right, this man, much like Klobuchar and even Gabard sitting there telling us during that debate that we can't do these things
