Pete Is It?

If Pete wins both Iowa and New Hampshire, I'd be very surprised if he is not also the nominee. Those two victories will give him a 95% chance of being the nominee.



President: Pete Buttigieg
Vice President: Tulsi Gabbard
Secretary of Labor: Andrew Yang

2020



If the Fox News legal analyst has ditched Trump that is a sign the US Senate will also dump Trump. People like Ted Cruz will dump him in a hurry. Marco Rubio. I think the 10 Senators will be found.

Which is curious, because we might be looking at one Indiana man, Pete, running against another Indiana man, Pence. I know the state of Indiana like the back of my hand.

When I rooted for Howard Dean in 2004, I was in Indiana. When I moved to New York a year later and met Dean people in the city, they were like, what was an Indian guy doing in a place like Indiana rooting for a guy like Howard Dean!? Well, now you know.

Warren's Lead: Expected

ELIZABETH WARREN LEADS JOE BIDEN BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN LATEST 2020 POLL Warren tops the Democratic candidate field with 28 percent of the vote while Sanders comes in second with 21 percent. Biden, who has maintained his status as Democratic front-runner since entering the race in the spring, has fallen to just 18 percent....... Warren is holding steady as primary voters' second choice, meaning she is in good position to rise as other candidates drop out of the race...... Warren, 70, is the only top-three candidate who beats Trump on perceptions of how health impacts their ability to govern. Two-thirds of voters said they believe Warren's physical condition is good enough

Right now it is looking like:

President: Elizabeth Warren
Vice President: Bernie Sanders
Attorney General: Kamala Harris
Secretary Of Urban Affairs: Pete
Secretary Of Labor: Andrew Yang
UN Ambassador: Tulsi Gabbard
Texas Governor: Beto
Chancellor, Obama Library: Joe Biden

Andrew Yang Clocking At 4% And Fifth Position



If you go back into this blog's archives, I have consistently talked of Andrew Yang as the Secretary Of Labor. But now I have started to talk of him as a possible president. For a guy who has never been Mayor, Senator, Governor, Billionaire, for him to clock at 4% is mind-blowing. The dude has gone viral. I don't think anything like this has happened in a US presidential campaign.

The guy has the greatest momentum. He is polling at 4% nationally, he is in the fifth position. But measured by Google Search he is in the second position on his way to first.

It is amazing to me how the UBI idea falls into the blind spot of even the "socialists." Because the UBI idea truly is post-capitalism, post-socialism.

Andrew Yang represents a generational change. He also represents the 21st century. He represents the knowledge economy.

Could Andrew Yang Become President?


The guy has the greatest momentum. And he is the only one with a solution. This is an interesting development.

If you don't "get" Universal Basic Income, you don't get the fourth industrial revolution. You have no clue what's happening in Silicon Valley.

I am not surprised Elon Musk has endorsed Andrew Yang. (Note: Elon Musk is an immigrant.)

Andrew Yang is not a white guy. He is not even black. He is not even Chinese. For America to elect someone like Andrew Yang would be a huge statement to the world. That this truly is a country of immigrants. Not just European immigrants, but immigrants, period.

I can imagine a Yang-Kamala, or a Yang-Pete, or a Yang-Tulsi ticket, with Bernie and Warren leading the fight in what might be a Democratic majority Senate after 2020. All that they want they can get done through the Senate.

If Andrew Yang is serious, he is going to have to own the Green New Deal, he is going to have to own health care and education too. He is in a great position to emphasize technological innovation will play the lead role in solving the climate crisis. The easy solution is to stop subsidizing dirty fuel. Clean is competitive.

The paradox of the situation is, if America goes the Donald Trump route, it gets routed fast. By 2030, it might have lost its aura and status. But if America goes down the Andrew Yang path, it continues to hold up. Andrew Yang keeps America great.

But from 3-5% to 51% is a long journey. It is too early to tell. But a lot of Trump supporters are switching to Yang. Trump has been the Pied Piper. Yang has been the data scientist. He has crunched the numbers and is telling it like it is.

UBI is not free money any more than Social Security is free money, or an auto insurance check is free money. It is just the economy evolving to the next level.

Andrew Yang is raising plenty of money. If he were to plow back 30% (at least) of all money raised into micro-targeting on the major digital platforms like Facebook, and Google, and Twitter, and Instagram, he will manage to overcome the old media handicap that he seems to be facing. Frankly, old media has been exhibiting racial bias against him. He is not getting the coverage his numbers show he deserves. Yang 2020 needs to become a video factory. Micro target with 30-second videos that will go viral. Or 90.





Andrew Yang is the Elon Musk of politics. It is amazing that he has a monopoly on the Universal Basic Income idea. That UBI is the only solution to the tremendous economic tranformation. Hint: it is not the wall.

If he can win the first four states, he has both the nomination and the presidency. Right now a glass of water could beat Trump, with or without a recession.


US Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang Calls for Blockchain Voting in 2020 Elections “It’s ridiculous that in 2020 we are still standing in line for hours to vote in antiquated voting booths. It is 100% technically possible to have fraud-proof voting on our mobile phones today using the blockchain.” ..... Yang, who is a staunch pro-crypto proponent, believes that this coupled with turning election day into a holiday is enough incentive to encourage eligible voters to cast their vote...... “This would revolutionize true democracy and increase participation to include all Americans – those without smartphones could use the legacy system and lines would be very short.” ....... Earlier this year, West Virginia announced that military voters outside of their home country can use a private blockchain-centered mobile app to cast their vote in the upcoming elections. Yang is only asking that the same measure be extended to everyone come 2020 presidential elections.



Yang: Policies



Andrew Yang faces no money or media disadvantages. If the voters want him bad enough, they will simply #GoogleAndrewYang.

Warren In The Lead

Right now if I had to bet who the Democratic nominee is going to be, I'd say that would be Elizabeth Warren. She is surging. She owns the wealth tax idea. Kamala and Pete are also doing remarkably well. There can be only one president at a time. But there's also Vice President, there's Secretary Of Urban Affairs. Andrew Yang similarly owns the Universal Basic Income idea. I'd love to see a two women ticket.

As for Trump, right now looks like every Dem can push him out, even Cory Booker, who is not even qualifying for the first debates (I think).

The beauty of so many people running is, if there is a healthy debate on ideas, they will all go on to shape the party platform.

President: Elizabeth Warren
Vice President: Kamala Harris
UN Ambassador: Tulsi Gabbard
Secretary of Urban Affairs: Pete Buttigieg
Secretary of Labor: Andrew Yang

Trump Set to Live-Tweet Democratic Debates Interacting in real time on Twitter would make Mr. Trump’s presence more tangible by directly inserting himself into the political conversation unfolding on stage. His posts could provide instant responses as well as insights into which attacks he feels most acutely.

DEMOCRATS CAN BOTH IMPEACH TRUMP AND WIN 2020 More Americans than not want to impeach Trump. That figure has only increased since the Mueller report was released and Special Counselor Mueller's subsequent statement. That suggests that the more evidence that comes out against Trump—which would happen during an investigation—the more popular impeachment becomes. ..... a higher proportion of Americans today support impeachment than when Congress began impeachment inquiries into Richard Nixon. That number steadily rose over the course of Nixon's public impeachment inquiry, until Nixon resigned to avoid an impeachment vote. ...... people of color overwhelmingly want to begin impeachment inquiries into Trump. ..... 59 percent of people of color agree with impeaching Trump while just 31 percent of white people do. ...... Democratic lawmakers increasingly rely on people of color to show up at the polls to remain in office, but following an unfortunately familiar pattern, then ignore the views of the very people responsible for voting them into office......... Avoiding a head-on confrontation didn't work for "Little Marco," and it's a bad strategy for Democrats. ..... In the same way that Medicare for All is a bold, principled position that Republicans actually like, supporting the constitution steadfastly is a principled position, though I'm not sure "bold." Just look at this Saturday's event in deep-Red Battle Creek, Michigan—a town represented by the only Republican in Congress on the record for impeachment...... Avoidance and delays aren't neutral; they send a very clear message. And that message is that the president is above the law and that the Democratic party is unprepared or unwilling to challenge that fact.

A Sanders-Warren Ticket



Two Out Of Three: Kamala, Andrew, Pete
2020: The Year Of The Social Democrat
Andrew Yang: Universal Basic Income, Elizabeth Warren: Wealth Tax
Biden's Lead Is Name Recognition




I am looking at these numbers and I am thinking, this is looking like a Sanders-Warren ticket. That would be a good ticket. Only a political earthquake of that magnitude could give America something like Medicare For All. And these two would also be winning candidates. They would not take punches lying down from the big bully.

I think it is important for the impressive Democratic roster to run a clean campaign. Do not engage in personal attacks. Run on the strength of your ideas. All the good ideas have to be hammered into the Democratic platform. Win or lose, Andrew Yang's idea of a Universal Basic Income has to make it through. Win or lose, Kamala Harris' idea of fining companies for paying women less for the same work has to make it through.

President: Bernie Sanders
Vice President: Elizabeth Warren
Secretary Of State: Kamala Harris
Secretary Of Labor: Andrew Yang
Secretary Of Urban Affairs: Pete Buttigieg
UN Ambassador: Tulsi Gabbard
Texas Governor: Beto O'Rourke
Chancellor Of The Obama Library: Joe Biden





DNC makes it more difficult to qualify for 3rd debate Unlike the first and second rounds of debates, when candidates must cross either a donor or polling threshold to qualify, candidates will need to surpass both bars to make the stage for the third and fourth debates. For the September event, candidates will have to hit 2 percent in four qualifying polls, versus 1 percent in three polls for the first debates, and they will need 130,000 individual donors, up from 65,000.

Kamala Pete 2020


Right now I am thinking in terms of a Kamala Pete ticket.

Warren, Bernie and Gillibrand should continue in the Senate. Tulsi Gabbard would be a great UN Ambassador. Beto should run for Texas Governor. Andrew Yang would be a great Secretary Of Labor who implements the Universal Basic Income.

AOC should campaign in the Fall of 2020, crisscross the country.

New Political And Economic Paradigms For The Age Of Abundance

Right now I am thinking Kamala Harris for President, Beto for Vice President, Tulsi Gabbard for UN Ambassador, and Andrew Yang for Secretary of Labor with the mandate to implement the Universal Basic Income. And AOC as the campaigner to reach the 18-28 crowd in the Fall of 2020, with Pete accompanying.

The young Florida Republican who is championing a Green Real Deal is an ally. He is emphasizing the tech entrepreneurship aspects of the Green Deal, which will be at least 70% of the Green Deal, if you think about it. Perhaps the Green New Deal and the Green Real Deal need to be fused to create a Green Deal.

But people who are really, truly falling behind are academics. Politicians go shopping. It is academics who are to theorize new ideas. Politicians shop among those ideas.

The bad news is not that robots and AI will be capable of numerous jobs. That ought to be good news. But that abundance absent new political and economic paradigms will give rise to mass slavery like in The Hunger Games.

The inequality in America has to be talked in the same vein as climate change. Both are existential threats.

Andrew Yang is blowing Silicon Valley-style fresh air into the political discourse. But he is too apologetic. The Universal Basic Income money does not have to be a fiscal move. It needs to be a monetary move, a quantitative easing for the people. Pass a new law that says the Fed is now also responsible for administering the UBI.

If all educational material can be online and free, why is the cost of education not dropping dramatically?

True, you can not bring all eight billion people to America. But who needs to? What is America but an idea? Once there is fast broadband every spot on earth, land or ocean, that opens up a new paradigm. Biometric ID is more powerful than a US social security number. Digital money is more convenient than $100 bills.

The UBI should truly be universal. Give every human being on earth a biometric ID, and give everyone a UBI of $100 a month to start with, paid for by their data wells. All data any company gathers on any individual is owned by the individual. Commercialization of that data pays for the UBI, to start at $100 a month and then to go upwards.

It is obvious you need a world government. America does not want immigrants. But America will also stand in the way of a true world government. You can not have it both ways.

I am for taxing the rich. I am for a wealth tax.

But the bigger problem is how money gets parked in tax havens. Trillions of dollars are idling in the tax havens of the world. And the tax havens exist for the simple reason that a world government does not exist.

Digital money is very different from physical money. It is as different as steam is from water. Digital money asks for a rethink on the fundamentals of finance. Couple digital money with the Blockchain and now finance asks for physics like thorough thinking.

But then the spiritual is supreme. Enormous rises in productivity will simply lead to enormous rises in chaos if the spiritual is not at the center. The 40,000 Christian denominations need to talk to one another and put out the scriptural fires and become one conglomeration in terms of organization and reach out to the other faiths. If you dig deep enough you will realize that all major faiths are pointing towards the same ladder to paradise.

The Democrats running for president are a formidable bunch.
