Andrew Yang may have the best explanation for how the Trump presidency happened, writes BRIANDDICKERSON of freep usatodayopinion
Brian DickersonI know, I know: Andrew Yang is not going to be the Democratic nominee for president in 2020.Yang somehow made the cut to participate in last week's third Democratic debate, clearing the fundraising and polling thresholds the party established in an effort to winnow its presidential field. But he did little to persuade viewers who remained alert throughout that three-hour marathon that he will be a factor in the primaries to come.

Yang has used his own money to underwrite monthly stipends for a small number of recipients in an effort to test his theories that such payments provide an economic stimulus for the larger community. I admire that initiative, but many dismissed his Thursday night pledge to expand the test as a stunt, or even a violation of election law.
