West is running to take the black vote away from Biden and secure the presidency for Trump.

 

Sure. Because black voters have no clue. Right?

Every day it looks more  like the White House is turning into a circus.One clown who said I didn't know how big the job was and then went on to do nothing but entertain the mass and prove he being a celebrity really counts for nothing in the real world. I cannot see the good people of the USA even considering putting another "Joker" into the circus to further drag the country into oblivion.The United Nations have been entertained by the master clown on many occasions only for him to believe they are laughing with him rather than at him as they have told him on a number of occasions. America time for a reality check!

let the clowns get their publicity but leave them on the reality shows and stage.

American IS becoming a reality show!

[The Barmbeker]

America!

The greatest country and democracy on Earth!

And a burning clown car, filled with poo!

[puck2]

The new style in the US since 2016, if an idiot has a pretty wife/lady (with low intelligence) he thinks he is destined for president.

 

Later you can see him in  Mount Rushmore - as the 6.th most important POTUS. The #5, you can see him here  (from German SPON)

I'm not American, so my opinion means nothing really.

Here it is anyway;

He has 2 things in his favour;

1. He isn't a career politician, they have a vested interest in the status quo - and change is needed.
2. He isn't one of "them", the ruling elite who run things to benefit their class at the expense of all others.

So,

Go Kanye.

Not just that. No one has a clear idea of where he stands on the issues. So he can be whatever you want him to be. A Rorschach candidate.

Good to start the day with a laugh, but hey, if an entrepreneur such as Trump did it, why not a rapper? but i can't my head around envisioning the Kardashians in the white house, that would be a tv reality show to end all shows...

Just a spoiler for Biden, no way does anyone start their presidential campaign at this stage.  The figuring will be to stop Biden getting the black vote in any great numbers.  Pathetic but not unexpected from the lunatics.

Yeah, no. Sorry, can't really see West as a conspirator, much less a trustworthy conspirator. Also, he's like Trump in the sense that if it isn't about him, it's unlikely he'll get involved. Then there seems to be some hidden assumption black voters would go for this clown just because he's black......regardless of anything. Hopefully, voters are better than this, or at least I'd like to think so.

[PatOngo]

In a country that made Kanye's absolutely talentless moron bimbo wife into a rich celebrity, anything is possible!

[ChaiyaTH]

Feel sorry for Americans with brains, they must feel akward over this stupidity by now lol. Even TH is more stable hehe.

I bet Putin and Xi never miss an episode; and call one another to laugh about it.

 

Probably think it's getting a bit too far fetched now though 555!

Kanye is darned smart guy. I highly suspect he is angling for a payoff of some kind from the Democrats to not disrupt the black vote in 2020. I wonder what Kanye wants for returning the black vote to the Democrats? I'd say money or more likely the right to appoint the vice presidential candidate for Biden.

Why do posters think he'll get a significant part of the "black vote"? Are there any polls or anything else to go on?

The guy is a complete <deleted>, so yes, he has potential. ????

Trump wouldn’t be happy with Kanye for making his announcement on the 4th July and stealing much of the media limelight from Trump’s 4/7 appearances. He will appeal more to Trump’s supporters with his rightist view and supporting Candace Owens and calling BLM whiny losers. I think he is missing Trump’s love and attention and trying to re-connect and just want to hear from him to re-consider. He just need attention.

Indeed. And look how well Obama played that card. I remember him using standard lines like making government "the way it should be". Who doesn't want government "the way it should be"? But obviously, that means many different things to many different people.

[bendejo]

LBJ once posited of the presidency "you'd have to be crazy to want this job."

Looks like it's becoming a requirement. 

Him and DT will engage in twitter wars, each attempting to out-moron the other.  That works in Biden's favor.

 

Well, he has a wealthy wife to support him, and he'll have used up all his own $$$ when the political operatives bleed him dry.

They have already voted for ex cowboy actor and a reality TV star, so why not a rapper.

If it was a diffrent rapper I could agree, but Kanye couldnt find a beer in a brewerey

[candide]

Well, a rapper may be successful in 'swing States'! ????

[torturedsole]

This is the Second Coming if Kanye wins the presidency and he won't let you forget.  White robes, sunglasses, incense sticks and religious scripture is about the best you'll get from The West.  

[Jingthing]

Again -- he won't be on ballots.

He's got a new album coming out.

Cha-ching.

'Nuff said.

I don't call it rap music, demeans the word music. Craap poetry would describe it better. 

Would he take more wacky voters from Trump or Black voters from Biden. They would have to be a few girders short of a bridge in either case.

 

I don't think technically he can stand really, nomination has already closed in quite a few states so I read.

I hope he can stand.  I'm sure it'll be the funniest spectacle I ever see in my life.

Unless West just wants to run a spoiler campaign against Biden, looks as though it is impossible for him to win as he is to late to be on the ballot for a number of important States for Electoral College votes.

[TopDeadSenter]

I believe West is just responding to the Democrats and Biden's disgusting claim/boast that if black people don't vote for Biden they are not real blacks. West is showing that is total nonsense. Black people that want a successful economy and a free existence must vote for Trump. Of course, those with nefarious intentions may benefit from a democrat win, but voting for them is in no way compulsory, regardless of what Biden claims.

Well, from what ever diognoses Trump have, Kanaya is for sure Bipolar! Not that bipolar is more crazy than others, and often they are smarter than others in surtain areas, and many great people who influenced the society and was part of big changes have been bipolar. But bipolar is also often unpredicteble, take higher risks, and also have timeouts to heal up. Stress is not a good thing for bipolarity, and I can go on as long as the list, but I stop here. 

 

Cant wait for the elections now, and truly for the world best and for all of us Biden win with a huge margin. Hope he do not die!

I just wanted to quote you to remind you that you have AOC as your profile picture...She recently obliterated who challenger. Or did you not acknowledge that?

 

Does that woman bother you that much? Seriously, what's up with the far-right's obsession with her? Seems like a young independent and aspiring woman. She did have some ambiguous voting with the covid dealings but overall, the has been quite vocal in calling out the wealthy and rich. You know regarding, the double standards among the poor and corporate upper class.

 

Support more socialist like policies including worker co-ops along with worker controlled production. Support Medicare For All. End Wars. End corporate freebies and provide for the lower classes.

 

BLM - FTP - Workers
