Kanye West for President?

[BobTheCoward]

I think it is too.

Based on what evidence?

 

[Puppycow]

Based on what evidence?

Well, he was seen wearing a MAGA hat and he has said some nice things about Trump in the recent past.

I'd say 100% of people who would vote for Yeezus would be Trump voters.

I can't see many Democrat-leaning black voters voting for a guy who thinks slavery was a choice.

The intelligence of US citizens is frequently overrated. May I present “President Donald Trump”.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

Wouldn't it be hilarious if West defeated Trump ?

I never underestimate the lack of intelligence of Americans.

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

Wouldn't it be hilarious if West defeated Trump ?

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.

So let's just hope that Bill Burr is right

 

[BobTheCoward]

Well, he was seen wearing a MAGA hat and he has said some nice things about Trump in the recent past.

That is a bizarre leap in logic for example, teams say nice things about players on other teams. Does that imply they are throwing games?

Analogy fails. I expect you are bright enough to work out why.

 

[CORed]

Isn't it accepted that Biden must have a female running mate, regardless of what men are available?

Biden has promised that he would choose a female running mate. It would be disastrous for him to go back on that now. Whether he should have made that promise is debatable.

That is for the person making the claim to defend their argument.

You are wrong.

 

[Andy_Ross]

For the record, I couldn’t stand Kanye before it was popular.

 

[TheSupermeerkat]

I think it is too.

Me too, the split the democrat vote, an attempt to lure away black voters.

 

[rockinkt]

So Kanye - what about the east?

 

[Puppycow]

Me too, the split the democrat vote, an attempt to lure away black voters.

Although there is another equally plausible based on the combination of an enormous ego combined with Dunning-Kruger.

 

[shemp]

I believe I've said similar words before, but anyone who supports this bid is a ******* idiot!

 

[Delvo]

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.

This link has a list of state deadlines and requirements to file to get on the state's ballot as a presidential candidate. The deadline has already passed in several states, and is coming up soon in all others.

Of course, one can run a write-in campaign. But most states have restrictions on that as well.

Anyone who would waste their vote on Kanye West is an idiot.

Filing deadlines for independents have already passed by in Indiana, New Mexico, North Carolina and Texas. Deadlines in several key swing states are coming up within the next ten days. For example, he would have to submit 132,781 valid signatures in Florida by 7/15, 12,000 in Michigan by 7/16, and 9,608 in Nevada by 7/10. Unless he's already got an organization collecting valid signatures* he's not making any of these deadlines.

* He doesn't.

Totally coincidental and apropos of nothing, of course:

Billionaire Kanye West’s Company Gets Multimillion-Dollar PPP Loan From Trump Admin

Billionaire rapper and shoe designer Kanye West’s company has received a multimillion-dollar loan as part of the federal government’s coronavirus stimulus package, according to records released Thursday by the U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Administration.

The money was handed out in the latest round of the Paycheck Protection Program, part of the Trump administration’s $2 trillion CARES Act designed to provide economic relief to small businesses during the coronavirus pandemic.

West’s loan poses major questions of conflict of interest, given West’s outspoken support for President Donald Trump, his multiple visits to the White House, and the outrageously lavish lifestyle he leads with wife Kim Kardashian West.

I wonder if Kanye just misunderstood how a VP is chosen?
