she tweeted during maher about andrew yang killing it.

13 hrs later she got a thank you from @yang4math, a member of the #yanggang which got 7 likes.

Let me know when he hits 1% in the polls.

He's working hard, but I'm not seeing him gaining any ground.

There are lots of good people running, with lots of good ideas. Unfortunately, we need only one nominee for President.

I've looked a little at Yang's positions and like him. But, I have to focus on someone who can win the nomination and then win in the General Election, and he's not that person.

One good thing about this crowded field, though, is that we're going to hear a lot of ideas. That is always a good thing.

the economy is their jam, and they grill everyone hard.
he did a good job, and got a lot of back pats.
a lot of things he is hitting are things they talk about all the time, so it was really super informative.
very little horse race, mostly ideas.

one of my msnbc faves.
