Anybody paying any attention to Andrew Yang?

I'd never heard of him until I stumbled onto the Freakonomics podcast regarding the guy. [copy this into your browser, as I can't get the link to work: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/andrew-yang/.]

There's not even a Justin-Smith-shooting-a-freethrow's chance of Yang getting elected, but he seems to have his finger on some issues that the US is facing, and the general public doesn't seem all that aware of what the issues are or why these issues are here. President, likely not, but it'd be pretty cool to listen to this guy in a conversation with Mayor Pete.

Well, they both have enough donors to make the debate, so hopefully we'll see that happen.

I'm really hoping for primary debates that involve substantive discussion of policy. How refreshing that would be.
 
Drudge has been holding him up to ridicule. Had him up high and on the left above the headline earlier; he's now down in the center, below the headline.
 
All I know is that he has come out as anti circumcision . Which led to Stephen Colbert’s slogan for him: Andrew Yang for a Better Wang.
Sorry. I would like to hear more from him, as I know some people are passionate about him.

On his website, he has the most developed set of issues I've ever seen at this early stage of a Presidential campaign of any party. Agree or disagree (they'd never let me take a Democrat ballot in the primary), the guy has some homework and knows what he believes. Credit to him for that. I was amazed at how broadly he's confronted many issues.
