Hey #YangGang
I had some time to assimilate my thoughts on Thursday nights debate, and I wanted to share some of the ones I found to be more important with you. (You're always great listeners 😊).

Many analysts have noticed Andrew's authenticity with respect to his answers.
I think this analysis only scratches the surface of the situation.
Theres a deeper reason for his authenticity than his stage presence IMO.

Most candidates consist of an apparatus. Their brand is assembled by a small army of consultants, lobbyists and donors.
Once all come to a consensus, talking points can be formed for purposes of regurgitation.

The flaw with this strategy of course is the lack knowledge that it entails.
Most candidates, even the most policy focused, begin to struggle when talking points fail to adequately address the question and improvisation becomes necessary.

This happens to even the most policy oriented of candidates.
Take for example the M4A question posed to Bernie.
When asked about his ultimatum should his bill fail to pass, his response was disappointing. Rather than acknowledge the reality, he insisted on its passing.

If you pay close attention, you'll notice these missteps dont happen to Andrew because of his knowledge base.
The policies for which he advocates have already been calibrated to include current data.
Theres no need for talking points when one possesses a mastery of a topic.

Andrew represents a new type of political figure.
He possesses the required policy knowledge internally. He doesn't need an entourage of DC careerists to elevate his status, and he doesnt need to be propped up by big corporations.
We need the antithesis to the "swamp."
Hes it.
