Creepy Joe or Trump 4 more years?  | | | | | I'm certain that Trump will win.

In an alternative universe Mitt Romney is coming to the end of his second term as President and the world is in a much better place https://twitter.com/MittRomney/statu...23618422235138 | This user would like to thank TonyClifton for this useful post: | |

For people who don't want a moron or a senile, watch Kanye's video!
It would be a great parody video but I think it's real | This user would like to thank k_and_e for this useful post: | |

But he doesn't seem to really be aware what he's saying. Strange video.

I think he's totally aware of what he's saying, that would be underestimating him. I can't see him winning, it doesn't cover wide enough public. But. He will definitely gain traction for later. He is pacing himself, and it will work, imho. Couple years. One way or another, he's got a foot in the door and will gain political influence. He nailed the timing.

The person who wins needs a certain number of Electoral College votes (270). It's mathematically impossible for him to get enough even if he won every state where he's on the ballot.
He could play an interesting spoiler though, depending on which voters opt for him as opposed to Trump or Biden.

He is also a forward thinker knowing the racial conflicts aren't about to disappear fast, they might get worse, and faith is a uniting factor. He's clever. Not at all somebody unaware of what he is saying in that video.
I give him a month before he (his people) get super frantic on Twitter. With all this positive faith vibe - Twitter will not be able to control his political campaign.

Polls show only 2% of Americans intend to vote for Kanye West as President in 2020.
I doubt he will ever be more than a fringe comedy figure.

We aren't talking politics, in the US it translates to business. His message might sell, big time. It is uniting, spiritual and represents community. People want that.

At least this ad from Kanye isn't screaming about how awful other candidates are and using scare tactics. It's just a positive message about working together and faith. Aside from coming across as a little odd, I appreciate the positive messaging. | This user would like to thank 3Wishes for this useful post: | |

In that Event the electoral college could choose s compromise candidate?

I see it's a recurrent complaint in your posts, you say it like it's a bad thing...

It's mathematically impossible for him to get enough even if he won every state where he's on the ballot. | | | | | He could win, technically. Note that Kanye (yes ye can! (Except, no, ye can't, not with him) is asking people to "write in Kanye West". So he's hoping for several dozen million people to write him in as their preferred candidate in all those states where he was too disorganised to get on the ballot. And if they do that, he'll have the numbers in the Electoral College.
But... President Kanye.  Way less than Buckley's chance of ever happening, now or in the next 1,000 years. He is even more clueless than Trump. The downtime between albums will be over soon, he'll have things to do to keep him occupied. I suggest a cover of Black Dog. He's really good at rock covers.

I understand a candidate must have some entertainment value for some, but if someone like Kanye is ever going to win....it looks more and more like a dystopia.
