Is it possible Kanye West entering could hurt Trump with his 10% of the black vote?

I don't think black Dems are going anyplace, but I could possibly see him peeling off some blacks that were going to vote for Trump.

Thoughts?

4. Where? He just missed the FL deadline ( along with most of the other major states). It was reported

that he was dropping out, but apparently has managed to get on the Oklahoma ballot. So, I suppose all those African American Kanye supporters in OK might give him a look, but given Kanye supposedly only polled at 2% in a single questionable poll, I don't see how he'll make any impact.

He apparently has not officially dropped out, though he likewise has never even filed paperwork with FEC to officially run. Just a gimmick move for a person badly in need of his bipolar meds IMO.
