Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang was extremely candid about how impeachment is going for Democrats so far and the effect he believes it will ultimately have on the election.
"It seems like all we can do is throw ineffective rocks at Donald Trump, and then it ends up leading unfortunately toward his reelection," Yang said on Rolling Stone‘s podcast "Useful Idiots."

"I’m pro-impeachment, but this is going to be a loser," he said.
"You need literally dozens of Republican senators to switch sides when the trial starts, which we’ve gotten zero indication is going to happen," Yang added.
His comments came as the impeachment inquiry moved to the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday where lawmakers heard from four constitutional law professors about whether the president should face a trial in the Senate.
Yang said the longer the impeachment charade goes on the more it will help Trump, risking that he "comes out of this and is vindicated, totally exonerated."
Accusations that he’s a “Russian asset” in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
This guy Yang is out here from San Francisco is actually a very bright businessman but obviously if youre trying to get the Democratic nomination you have to be a complete wingnut and he has learned that same thing with Tulsi Gabbard
He’s not going anywhere in the race. There are a few reasons for that.
But he’s not crazy and he’s not stupid. It says a lot about the Democrats that Yang is far behind all the crazy and stupid candidates.
Not Chinese? Interesting... ;)
Can’t he just drop out?
The payoff to us would be he would shut up.
Out of redi whip Andrew?
“You need literally dozens of Republican senators to switch sides when the trial starts, which weve gotten zero indication is going to happen,” Yang added.
... despite the best efforts of Mitt Romney, I’m sure.
Agreed. Single digit candidates are just a distraction from actual news.
RE: can’t he just drop out? The payoff to us would be he would shut up.
Why should he? The more they dig themselves in, the more fun it will be.
I want to see the Video of Yang shooting a Can of Whipped Cream into the mouth of Nadless.
Ah, yes, Yang. Wants to give every US citizen 1,000USD a month, paid for by tax dollars.
That act would destroy the US economy in short time.

I think his plan is to replace all other welfare checks with this single one. Simplifies things.
The only problem -— even Warren Buffet and Bill Gates will get their $1000. No exceptions.
“we are wasting precious time where we should be creating a positive vision that Americans are excited about solving the problems that got Donald Trump elected, and beat him in 2020”
Okay, who was POTUS for eight years before Donald Trump was Elected? Which Political Party did that same person belong to?
Prime for a Photoshop.
That picture could only be better if it happened on top of a Tank with Yang wearing a big Helmet.
