COLUMBIA — Rapper Kanye West did not submit any of the 10,000 petition signatures needed to get on South Carolina’s 2020 presidential ballot by Monday’s noon deadline despite hosting a rally in the state the previous day.

The failure of West’s last-minute petition drive means he will almost certainly not be able to mount a quixotic third-party campaign in the Palmetto State after recently getting on the ballot in Oklahoma, where a $35,000 filing fee is the only requirement.

By the time the deadline passed at noon, neither West nor any representative from his makeshift campaign had arrived to deliver the petition to the S.C. Election Commission, according to commission spokesman Chris Whitmire. No late registration will be allowed.

1. Oh well....at least we know now that Kim was seconds away from aborting.

Stuff that Presidential campaigns are made of.

2. Good!!

3. Why am I not surprised?

4. aw

5. There's always 2024.

6. He has soooo many issues that need to be dealt with

somehow. He needs medication AND psychotherapy.

I can't believe he thought he'd get the signatures needed in SC, especially after disrespecting Harriet Tubman that way. SMH!

I feel bad for Kim K. She has 4 young kids with this guy.

7. I don't buy his repeated "crazy week" act that always coincides with something he's promoting

He just coincidentally happens to have these scripted episodes that were planned weeks in advance .... every time he needs to promote something ... they'e so spontaneous. And he just happens to announce new over priced made in China ѕhit he's selling on his website that just magically materialized on his website over night and is in stock ready to ship out.

He's a con man who makes money entertaining idiots, he puts on these crazy week episodes because he knows the media will give him free advertising when he's looking to sell something

8. I have a feeling he has been prescribed medication...

...but refuses to take it.

No one likes to hear they are "crazy" unless they take certain chemicals. Plus the decades long demonization with anyone with a mental illness...which is actually a physical one that affects the brain, hasn't helped much.

10. As someone who suffers from mental illness

the stigma is very real.

It shouldn't be. I take medicine and am fine, but I worry about people ever knowing because of what they'd think.

11. As does my wife.

It took jail to finally get her to realize she has a serious problem. The three mental hospitalizations prior, didn't work. Now she freaks out if she was a bit late taking her meds.

And yes, the stigma is very real. Company I work at has a Mental Health month...after a couple of years, the leadership was shocked to find out that many employee's with mental illness refused to partake of the services offered. They seriously renewed the efforts and stated there never should be a stigma(more or less saying they will fire your ass if you knock another employee or anyone in their family for a mental illness).. at least they are trying.

9. I'm so sick of idiots like him getting attention.

He’s a joke and only getting any attention at all because he has money to buy it.

I wish the press would stop even covering this.

12. Someone had to fill the vacuum LaRouche left

And Trump has lowered the status of the U S Presidency.
That creep Zuckerberg seemed to want to take a shot at it a few years back.

13. Let's not get too cocky! He could still get more write-in votes than Mickey Mouse!
