    Is that really a trope ?

    Never heard it. Ive heard sneaky Asian, Asian doctor, but not zany lol

    anyways I refuse to believe that this is a big deal.

    I mean come on,the idea that these candidates are supposed to be "serious" all the time is exactly why trump won

    Also its not like yang put the can by his dick and groaned as he sprayed, tho that would have been even funnier, if inappropriate.

    It would probably work better in a Republican primary.

    Edit: Yes, there were complaints about his portrayal on SNL during the debate skit (for instance).

    Genuinely asking a question about facts and making a statement correcting you is whining? the tweet wasn't from the Yang campaign.

    Without proof, your interpretation here doesn't fit the definition.

    whining
    /ˈ(h)wīniNG/
    noun

    1. the making of a long, high-pitched cry or sound.


    adjective

    1. making or characterized by a long, high-pitched cry or sound.
    from your post:

    His mic was cut. - fact.
    The moderators are ignoring him. - fact.
    He got left off a graphic - fact.
    He gets no air time on the MSM - he gets air time although not as much as many other candidates given the polls.

    Yang shows us how immature he is.

    He seems like a kid trapped in an adults body.

    The 1,000 dollars a month campaign gimmick is more problematic in the long run but yeah... a dude randomly spraying whip cream in other dudes mouth is just weird. I guess there is context missing about how it got to that point.

    I otherwise really find him a very likable guy and fresh face to politics in 2019. Not sure how he would have managed to get the attention he has without those gimmicks though so I get why he had to think outside the box.

    Also Trump supporters are quite rich coming to mock yang for spraying whip cream. You do realize you support Donald freaking Trump right? The most embarrassing national disaster know to man.

    No, the best they have on him is that he is not gaining any real traction in the polls and will never be president.

    Steady upward growth in donors, polling, and cash.

    You are smart enough to know this race is wide open and Super Tuesday is an eternity away.

    Man...the race is not "wide open." Yang won't win a single state.

    Oh, the race is very much wide open. Nobody has a firm grasp. Support is soft and fluid across the board, not a single early vote has been cast, lots of debates remain. It is the definition of wide open.

    FYI, not just steady growth in money, exponential.

    First ad buys were 2 weeks ago. Results won't come in til another week or so.

    Given where Yang started from, saying "you're not going to be President" isn't much of a knock.

    We all know he's a longshot. It's always been that way. He's one of the only candidates who has made it a goal from the start to change the conversation. "The goal is either a Yang Presidency or a President who sounds just like me", to that end, you have to take him seriously and give him credit because he is affecting change.

    I set my hopes at getting into the final 5. Perhaps making it to the convention. That would be a great achievement I would be very proud of. The Presidency might be at present a 3% chance or so, but given it was 0% not long ago I see that as something to build on and am in no way discouraged by it.

    John Yang needs to take a step back and consider his life choices when he is shooting whipped cream down the throats of filthy truckers at a truck stop.

    It's not wide open. There's 4-6 people who could end up getting the nomination and he isn't one of them. Even the "6" is a stretch.

    If your hope is that he outlasts the other longshots, then sure, he can probably accomplish that. The idea that he's in a good position because people are mocking the whipped cream is just silly though.

    He has 0% chance to win the nomination.

    +1 for the definition insertion but this thread is the very definition of the 2nd.

    So how do you know for a fact the the mic was cut?

    Anyway let's just agree to disagree.
