With entrepreneur Andrew Yang out of the race, the big question is which candidate his supporters will now back.
What some may be surprised to hear is that not all of them will choose another Democratic candidate. According to The Hill’s Saager Enjeti, some Yang Gang members now plan to vote for President Trump.
He shared a couple of their messages on Twitter.

Hearing from some members of the Yang Gang who now say they will vote Trump 2020 because they want to support a working class candidate but don't like Bernie's culturally woke element. Interesting phenomenon

A 28-year-old father of two was inspired by Yang because of his message of unity. The man said he was turned off by Democrats’ demonization of anyone in the middle or leaning right.
“I share both liberal and conservative views, and I am not a huge fan of Donald trump,” he said, adding that he can’t imagine supporting any of the other Democratic candidates. “Trump keeps things real I may not like what he says all the time, but who we see is who he is.”
While the same could be said for Sen. Bernie Sanders, the man explained that having a Democratic socialist president “would devastate our economy.”
Another respondent agreed that Yang’s unifying message is what drew them to his campaign. The former Bernie voter said they will support Trump in the 2020 election “because of the way ‘the left’ and very liberal supporters dogged my man since day one cuz he doesn’t go with the grain when it comes to wokeness which we all know [is] bullsh*t.”
The person has turned against the current crop of Democratic candidates because they offer no real solutions.

Yang is from out here in the bay area and at least the guy came from the real world
He’s had a real job and earn real money had employees and some kind of realistic view of the world
This cannot be said of any of the other Democratic candidates and in particular Bernie Frick in Sanders
Every little bit helps.
RE: He’s had a real job and earn real money had employees and some kind of realistic view of the world
OK, I can respect that. But why does he still think that the world has only until a little past 2030 before environmental armageddon is upon us?
And why does he think that giving EVERYONE, including guys like Warren Buffet, $1,000 a month will solve our poverty problems?
Is that a realistic worldview?
Bernie isn’t as popular as the media will let on
When Bernie was running 2016 he was running against Skunk Cabbage and many people voted for Bernie in the Primaries because they didn’t want Skunk Cabbage
Now since Bernie is running against 6 viable candidate, his support dwindled from 2016
Liz Warren copied most of Bernies platform so she could siphon votes away from him, it is the only reason she is running.
I could see some of Yang’s support going to Trump and I could see some of Skunk Cabbages voters in the 2016 general switching over to Trump because they were told Trump wouldn’t get anything done, he was joke, couldn’t win, etc etc
2020 is going to be interesting
He had a reason for the 1K, I don’t agree with it, but he had a reason for it. And that was his world view and I do believe automation will create job losses BUT create new jobs in new fields, so I think it will be a wash like any other technological advances.
Environmental crap sells real well in Dem party, so not agreeing to it would have been even less support for him.
