@KrisGoldsmith85 @susanv1227 @Acosta @AndrewYang @Fwd_Party @Acosta of @CNN gave a masterclass in interviewing when he questioned @AndrewYang on his Forward Party. It has zero policy positions. It is currently behind Murcowski & McMullin. Sure don't see any democrats. No policy on abortion, guns, education, etc. @DavidJollyFL knows better

@KrisGoldsmith85 @Acosta @AndrewYang @Fwd_Party @DavidJollyFL @MSNBC Choose a side David @DavidJollyFL .It’s either MAGA or it’s democracy. No room for a squishy third party.

@Leslieoo7 @crazylunchguy @KrisGoldsmith85 @Lesliesusan2727 @Acosta @AndrewYang @Fwd_Party Christine Todd Whitman extolled on air about how both high profile R’s & D’s were joining this new party, but couldn’t name a single one when pressed on it. Said she wasn’t good with names & to look at the website. I looked, no names on the website.
