Many voters in the US are dissatisfied with the presidential candidates this year----Both Donald Trump --- an overweening egomaniac, according to Kamala Harris --- and Joe Biden ---- a senile racist according to Kamala Harris-----have SERIOUS flaws.

Many voters have hoped someone else would run as a 3rd party candidate. I know, personally, I was hoping Mark Cuban would run as a 3rd party candidate.

Well....its happening. Kanye West the protean erratic genius madman black musician is running for president.

I tend to vote for third party candidates....I know I won't vote for Trumpses and I know I won't vote for Bidenses.

So how about Kanye? Hmmmm.......President Kanye. Its got a nice Obama-like sound to it.


Kanye West is running for President!!!!

Make Sarah Palin his running mate and it would be perfect clown world ticket for Plant. Sorry, nope.

My point in starting a Kanye West thread is not to support his run for president, but to acknowledge it is happening and to discuss it.

My own point of view is that Biden and Trump are both flawed candidates so it would be great to have a viable 3rd party candidate.

But things being as they are, instead of Mark Cuban or Ralph Nader or someone like that, in 2020 we have Kanye West running for President.....and he's just as flawed as Biden or Trump.

Nonetheless, Kanye might draw votes from a significant number of disaffected young voters and music fans...both black and white.......who don't care for either Biden or Trump.

Some early polling shows Kanye drawing about 2 percent in the polls......and thats more then Ralph Nader ever got, even after running for President 5 times and costing Al Gore the election

Kanye's 2 percent is not enough to win anything but judging from what happened when Ralph Nader got much less then 2 percent of the votes but still supposedly cost Al Gore the election, its enough to screw things up in some of the close battleground states.

Kanye West promises 1 million dollars for every baby

kanye-west-kicks-off-1st-presidential-campaign-event

Biden and the Ds are promising they will raise people's taxes when they take power and heaven only know what Trump will do if he wins re-election. Meanwhile, Kanye has said that every new baby should get 1 million dollars.

Wow. That takes promising to a whole new level.

When it comes to promising and pandering, Kanye is in the lead.


1 million dollars for every new baby! Time to get the loving started!!!!

... But assuming Kanye is actually going to run for president, I don't see how he can be kept out of the presidential debates. It would be systemic racism for the presidential debates to only include two elderly white men while excluding the only black man running for president.

[Plantagenet]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JuanP', '
')I agree that with the BLM and Woke things going on, it would not be possible to keep him out of the presidential debates.

Elon Musk says he has done his best to convince Kanye not to run as third party candidate for President in 2020, but instead to wait for 2024.

Musk-tells-Kanye-don't-run-for-President

Thats a pretty quick flip flop by Musk.

A couple of weeks ago he was saying he would vote for Kanye and now he is telling Kanye not to run in 2020 but instead wait for 2024.

Hard to say what Kanye will do.

We'll just have to wait and see if Kanye continues his 2020 run, or if he takes Elon Musk's advice and waits for 2024.


Kanye vs. Trump.....I'd pay money to see that debate.

Cheers!

Kanye's presidential campaign has been doing the legal work and filing petitions to get on the ballot in multiple states.

kanye-wests-presidential-nominating-petitions-challenged-in-new-jersey-

The Kanye West campaign just filed their petitions to get on the ballot in New Jersey and now a D lawyer is challenging the filing and trying to deny Kanye an opportunity to appear on the ballot.

Its one of the most egregious examples of systematic racism I've ever seen.....just because Kanye is a black man, the Ds are out to keep him off the ballot and deny him the right to run for President. I don't see the Ds out fighting the other third parties in court....but in contrast the Ds are going after Kanye just because he is black.

Clearly the Ds are afraid of seeing a rich independent young black man running for President and are trying to keep him off the ballot.

Kanye West just got on the ballot in Wisconsin.

And Rs are apparently helping Kanye in his efforts to get on the ballot in states across the country!

Thats one good thing about the Rs---they seem more open to third party presidential runs then the Ds do. The Ds aren't helping at all!

Nothing scares the Biden camp more than a serious run from a candidate that will erode their minority voting block.

Unless they actually are running to lose and we just don't know it?

[Newfie]

Isn’t this how Jessie Ventura got elected Governor?

And he wasn’t so bad at it either.

Who knows, maybe West would rise to the occasion if he won.

The two other clowns running have prove track records of failure.

What’s to loose?

Kanye's Christian faith and anti-abortion stance is the reason some of his supporters plan to vote for him.
