I'm not sure he can win over Trump voters even if this policy would benefit them. Trump's got mind control over Cletus
Andrew Yang (Former 2020 Presidential Candidate): What's his future? #YangGang :lupe:

With everything that we have seen with Trump, what makes you say this? Even if you remove Trump from the equation, what makes you assume this is going to be the case?

Isn't the presidency really just decision maker/ negotiator?
They have armies of advisors to tell them what's possible policy wise and the like.
What makes you think a CEO can be a good negotiator? They are tyrants in their businesses....whatever they say, goes. They would find it extremely frustrating to share power with two other co-equal governments.
Trump is a special kind of stupid so it would be unfair to judge CEOs using him, but the skill set to be a president is a lot different than the skill set of a CEO.

You have to negotiate joint ventures, partnerships, pricing with second and third parties salaries with your various staff, etc. What are you talking about?!
And really what career politicians need to learn fast is their playbook is obsolete. There PC speak and talking around issues is done. No one is interested in hearing that anymore. They need a new way to communicate with the public because they way they do it now is a turn off to most people.
My issue with the assumption that CEOs are inherently good people to be running the government is that their outlook may well not line up with working in the public sector.
And what I mean by that is that a CEO that's worked in the private sector their whole life is likely to be much more concerned with profit than ethics or the public good. I think people forget that the government doesn't exist to make a profit, it exists to serve the public good. That's opposite to how running a business in the private sector works.

Not a fukking chance. These same individuals willing vote against their own interest(healthcare).
Well you have your CEO president in place who doesn't believe in PC. Congrats. Lets see how that works out for you.

Why because I point out something true about Trump I'm now a supporter?I'm just pointing out his election win proves you don't have to talk like that to win political office. It was not a common thought pre-Trump. That's just facts.
It's the same way BO proved a Black man can be president. No one thought that before he did it.
He better get some elected experience and make shyt shake if he hopes to be a serious contender.
This is why center, ever so slightly left, might as well be rightwing, Democrats are a problem for the democrat platform.
Perfectly fine with the Republican platform minus the racism.
Perfectly fine with incremental changes that end up getting pushed far right anyway.
Trump’s a hardcore racist sexist homophobic narcissistic moron who received the lion share of his early wealth from his even more racist father. $200 million iirc. He’s not what I’m talking about. And he doesn’t represent all business types the same way Jeff Sessions doesn’t represent all lawyers. I could see David Rubenstein or Sheryl Sandberg being good choices and definitely better than Trump but you can pluck any number of successful self made people from Silicon Valley or Wall Street. I’m just not buying some lifelong paper pusher on Capitol Hill is better for the position when the other person had the intelligence and drive to create a billion dollar business.
You just said a whole lot of nothing.This is why center, ever so slightly left, might as well be rightwing, Democrats are a problem for the democrat platform.

I live in a liberal city and make good money. Most of what Republicans propose doesn't personally affect me.
Sorry for not being broke. Nope.
First it's the Republican platform doesn't bother you.You just said a whole lot of nothing.

Sorry for not being broke. Nope.
But now it just doesn't personally affect you.
I live in California, it doesn't personally affect me either, but it's still obviously a problem.

Isn't this the majority white person's stance on racism? The majority male stance on sexism? The majority rich person's stance on poor people? Advance and think about society as a whole.
