Don’t sleep on Andrew Yang. His core economic message is going to resonate because it is both true and he’s the only one saying it.
Keep an eye on the traction he gets.
Regardless of where his candidacy goes, he is ushering in a conversation that will only gain support.

“The problem is automation not immigration.”
For decades, the two major parties have taken turns blaming the other for rust belt jobs going away and not coming back.
BMW’s factory in Spartanburg, SC, produces 400,000 SUVs with only 8,000 workers. Automation kills jobs.

Neither party caused or can cure the loss of jobs to automation.
Both are trapped in a doom loop of blaming the other and overpromising a fix.

I’ll lay this down now...
If you were to ask me which likely losing candidate will have the greatest impact on the national dialogue, politics and thus future policy, as of now, I’d put my money on Yang.
Watch his numbers... especially once the debates start.

NOTE: I was careful and deliberate to center this on Yang’s *central economic message*.
It is not about him as a candidate or his electability.
It is about his *main idea*.
His polling is just a proxy for how many people gravitate to that idea even from an unknown.
