(34,857 posts)There are plenty of states whose filing deadlines are weeks/months away. He certainly will struggle to win the EV but it's clear, if he really is going to run, it's not to win. It's to take votes away from Biden to help Trump. Plenty of states where he can get on the ballot to do that - states like Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Hampshire come to mind.

They're both batshit gaslighting, whack jobs who hate on Reality & Dems.

(34,857 posts)But young people do.
If he peels off just enough young + black voters from Biden, it could throw those states.
But I don't see a 45 year old working class white dude from Sheboygan, Wisconsin voting Kanye.

(903 posts)I'm not much of a rap fan, so I'm probably not the right person to judge, but he just seems talentless.

(47,552 posts)From what Ive unintentionally absorbed over the past few years, he used to write great music, was even a genius at it. (I dont know. Maybe you had to be there. I wasnt.) Then his mom died, and it all went to hell, and now hes an idiot. I assume theres more to the story, but I dont care enough about it to look it up.

Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)I am not sure if it's serious or just him being Kanye. But if he gets ballot access, which he still can, in Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, it'll likely throw the election to Trump. I doubt there's a lot of Trump supporters who'd vote for Kanye over Trump. But there may be just enough 'hold your nose' Biden supporters to do it to hurt him in those states.

(46,094 posts)1. Even if he can't get on the ballot, he won't necessarily disclose that fact, and run as if he were.
2. The "Plan" is to siphon votes away from Joe Biden, likely African-American and Latino voters, young.
3. When the Kanye voters get to the polls, and find out that they can't vote for him, they leave dejected, and won't vote for Joe Biden as a contingent candidate. Now, mind you, they were likely were GOING TO vote for Biden, but the Kanye factor changed everything.

(297,196 posts)out bush & we liked that.. and then all of a sudden he lost the plot.
I do remember reading about his Mom in a magazine and thought how sad it was.
helpisontheway
(5,007 posts)like that since his mom died. Maybe she was the one that kept him sane and on his meds. Most AA are not gonna waste their vote on someone that is insane just like Trump.

(6,390 posts)...once said he was running for President. Shortly after Jesse Ventura became a Governor.
Of course, he never followed through with it....and I expect the same will happen hear. Just a publicity stunt.
With that said, Trump was a publicity stunt....but had some serious backer and organizers.
