‘Why Donald is afraid to tweet about him’: The Internet goes wild with news that even #YangBeatsTrump in latest polls

On Tuesday, a new poll of New Hampshire released by Emerson College shone a spotlight on an unlikely Democratic candidate: Andrew Yang, an investor and former adviser to President Barack Obama, led President Donald Trump by 8 points.
The development took off on social media, where Yang’s proposal of universal basic income has gained him a cult following. Commenters tweeted #YangBeatsTrump, both celebrating their candidate and mocking Trump:
#YangBeatsTrump which is why Donald is afraid to tweet about him.
“The only thing I worry about is that some total unknown that nobody’s ever heard of comes along” Donald Trump at a rally.

How ironic that the media you hate so much is doing what it can to keep people from knowing about the candidate that will beat you to become the 46th POTUS.#YangBeatsTrump
