Andrew Yang never had a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the Democratic presidential nomination. His bid for Mayor of New York City was also a long shot.
But you kinda couldn’t help but root for the guy, you know? He seemed nice enough, if totally wrong about good economic policy. He even spoke out in defense of Israel (before subsequently being shamed into walking it back somewhat).
But it’s gonna be pretty tough for us to get past this one:
“How many Senators does it take to control things in Washington in a polarized country? Only One.” Evan McMullin is an historic candidate who could redefine party politics. https://t.co/FdvpDwkWyK

I’ve met with Evan and he’s the genuine article. He never imagined a career in politics – he first tried to recruit others to run before stepping up to do so himself. But he’s deeply concerned about the future of the country and is doing all he can to make a positive difference. Now he’s running against Mike Lee for the same reason.
…
But Evan’s race will not be easy. Lee has more than $2.1 million in cash reserves and has been endorsed by Trump. Evan outraised Mike Lee in the first quarter $1 million to $523k so Evan has momentum but he needs our help. I’ve donated to Evan and I hope that you will too. You can also volunteer and tell your friends in Utah at https://evanmcmullin.com. Let’s go all in for Evan.
Can there be a new approach to our politics that leads the right kind of people to Washington? We are going to find out in Utah in about 6 months. Let’s show the nation that there’s still hope for good people like Evan to rise up, run for the right reasons, put country over party, and win.
Oh, baby … what is you doin’? This is some yikes-worthy talk if we’ve ever seen it.
how nice for you. https://t.co/Wm4WrC4qaH

Evan McMullin is only the genuine article if you’re reading American Grifter Magazine.

Ok this is the last straw, dismissing Yang as useless. https://t.co/ccEzmvXujl

He doesn’t even get the Senate math right, forgetting that Angus King and Bernie Sanders are also technically independents.

That’s the least of Yang’s problems. Alas, Andrew. We wanted to respect you. We really did.
This should be the end of anyone’s fascination with Andrew Yang. https://t.co/LEj8g1i6KK

It should go without saying that no one should have any fascination with Evan McMullin.
UT SEN candidate Evan McMullin says he won’t caucus with Dems or Repubs if he wins – https://t.co/SsKwynCa8H
— Reid Wilson (@PoliticsReid) April 26, 2022
This is not possible for a Senator to do unless they wish to have zero committee assignments or work. It's part and parcel of the insulting way McMullin is conducting his campaign. He would caucus with the Democrats and vote reliably w/them on all issues; there's no 2nd term. https://t.co/gUitRhUPrg
