He's racist, misogynist AND an evangelical Christian! He's also a reality TV personality who is poorly-informed.

Conversely, I would be very curious to see polling of someone like Kanye West among Democrats, including which groups would be dumb enough to support him. He supposedly wants to run for POTUS in 2020 too.
