Is this something with any potential? And, can it be anything more than a personal vehicle for Yang, like the Reform Party was for Perot?

The establishment will do everything within its power to kill it.

With enough support, anything is possible.

The "establishment" won't kill it. They'll ignore it, with more serious challenges to work on. Unless it can get some recognizable political forces involved it isn't going anywhere off the launching pad. Who, beyond Yang, a political outsider, is working with this? New client for Kellyanne, maybe? She doesn't particularly care who/what she works for.

National bank, internal improvements, protective tariffs . . . pretty sound thinking.
