Yang's mic was off for huge segments of the debate. This explains a lot. I saw Yang try to chime in at the beginning, but it makes sense if he just reposed as he realized there isn't much he could do.https://twitter.com/KarenNelsonMN/status/1144473156125523973 …

The same could be said about the temperament to win an election in general. Also, let’s not forget that people can pick election winners >50% of the time, even foreign elections, in microseconds by glancing at photos of the candidates.

Interestingly, to me at least, the same 2 factors are used by people to pick election winners in photos as are used in Gartners’ Magic Quadrant rating of tech firms: -Vision (do I like where you’re going) and -Ability to Execute (likelihood of success/effectiveness)

Aristotle: wit is "well-bred insolence." Great for a pleasant conversation or to win a debate, not so great in a responsible leader. Also, almost the only people who study logical fallacies are politicians' speech writers: they know fallacies work and have for 1000s of years.

Pols study the mind for the same reason a sadist may study the body: to find weaknesses to exploit.
