I'm sorry for all the Yang Gang. I've lost more first tier candidates than I've kept over the years, I know it's tough.

My heart is with them all. When you've invested time and money into supporting a candidate, it's never easy to see them withdraw.

I wonder how Beto would have fared if he decided to stay in the race.

I think that the discussion about UBI was fair, but Yang lacked the experience necessary to become a viable candidate. His answer about pardoning Trump removed any remaining chance to be considered as a potential nominee.

That's why I respect you so much. You're a decent human. You, too, feel empathy.

Beto... what could have been. I wonder, too. So much potential abandoned too early. It hurt my heart. I worked for him for senate and donated to his presidential campaign. It was a true gut blow to me.

He's not the only one I wish hadn't withdrawn too early, but he's one I won't ever forget.

Sorry to see Yang go, but unfortunately the writing has been on the wall for a week since he fired his staff
