Kanye West for President?

He supposedly has an album out soon - although it's Kanye, his consistency has taken a real nosedive in the past decade...

Isn't he manic-depressive? There's time for a few complete cycles of that before the election. He'll grasp reality on his way back down.

Yes, West is bi-polar and does not take medication for it. I suspect this running for president bit is due to a manic episode.

My wife watches a lot of that awful Kardashian show, and in the later episodes Kanye occasionally turns up and he does not look well. His last appearance was when Kim was planning to see a black designer debut at a Paris fashion show, and he was rambling about Kim attending being an honour for the designer.

He could harm Trump without even running.

Is it possible that merely making people consider how absurd it would be to vote for a vain egomaniac with absolutely no qualities which recommend him for high public office might make them think twice about doing so again?

Didn't I hear somewhere that he is a big fan of fishsticks?

I never underestimate the lack of intelligence of Americans.

That's why I said "Democrat-leaning black voters".



Certainly would, but he won't be on ballot papers.

Someone said earlier in the thread that he was looking for publicity, and that's all this is.

Worked.

It didn't work for long. I heard and saw it mentioned one day and then, crickets.

Kanye West no longer supports Trump—“I am taking the red hat off, with this interview,” he told
@RandallLane
—and intends to run for election under the banner of “the Birthday Party.”

He’s picked Michelle Tidball, a preacher from Wyoming, as running mate.

Kanye West won’t mind taking Black votes from Biden, even if it‘ll aid Trump,
@RandallLane
reports. “To say that the Black vote is Democratic is a form of racism.”

West thinks he had coronavirus 5 months ago. He’s mistrustful of vaccines, calling them “the mark of the beast.”

Article embedded in tweet. His campaign slogan is "YES!"
 
Kanye doesn't support Trump - but he hates Biden.

at the very least he can increase the confusion that will be the election.
 
Why not west? Why not. Your system of government can function through the term of a complete buffoon as president and the Nation survives......How could west be any worse than the Donald!

I agree. The GOP would be far less likely to fall into lockstep with Kanye West and so he would just be a figurehead (though any SCOTUS nominations may be interesting to say the least).

Which sounds exactly like all those people who were assuring us back in 2016 that Trump really couldn't do that much damage in four years...

She calls herself a "Biblical life coach".

Kanye's spiritual guru?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbr...posed-presidential-running-mate/#79438f361ee1

In a wide-ranging interview with Forbes — in which Kanye West confirmed he is serious about running for president—the famed billionaire rapper said he plans to tap as his running mate Michelle Tidball, who describes herself as a “biblical life coach,” and who once said on one of her bible teleconferences that she doesn’t “watch news.”

In Cody, the 57-year-old Tidball runs her own online bible study program under the nonprofit name “Abundant Ministries.”

On her biography page, Tidball touts “various degrees in mental health and criminal justice” and says she previously “worked as a mental health therapist for ten years” before transitioning into life coaching.

Tidball previously served as an executive director of Bright Futures Mentoring Program, a nonprofit that helped mentor students in Cody.

Now I'm thinking if he takes any votes at all, it could be from Trump.

With an evangelical preacher woman, could he appeal to Evangelicals? They were an important constituency for Trump.

More likely though I think very few people will vote for him. The whole thing reeks of crazy.

Here's another article about her that has a picture:
