Maybe Jesse Ventura can be his Vice President. lol

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

Imma let you finish, but Obama had one of the best presidencies ever!

[Petar]

Nice. As long as Americans are too dumb to vote for guys like Rand, then the biggest douchebags possible may as well win. This guy is even more of a douche than Trump. The fabric of space and time appears to be dissolving.

I'd like to see Jesse Ventura and Judge Napolitano run together...

So it begins.

A 24-year-old black Republican has launched a ‘Ready for Kanye’ PAC

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/p...for-kanye-pac/

"If Mr. West is to seek the presidency in 2020, and if there is no incumbent Republican president, I would absolutely encourage him to run," said Craig, 24, who has already created a Facebook group for the cause. "I think he will bring an interesting dialogue to our party, and he'll find a lot of people who want that dialogue. He’s pointed out the crippling racial disparities in the law and the economy. He’s talked about the pipeline of private prisons. He's a genuine entrepreneur. Oh, not to mention that his first big single was 'Jesus Walks.'"

[Kanye West says he will 'run for president.' Because politics is entertainment.]

Craig also runs the Young Minority Republicans Fund, but said his filing was totally separate from his work for Maryland's GOP. He was a fan on a mission. His favorite Kanye album was My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy; his favorite Kanye song was "Never Let You Down." And his favorite cause was introducing the Republican Party to skeptics.

Entrepreneur, community organizer, socially aware, talks about Jesus, and a lifetime achievement award.

I think he's already surpassed Obama's credentials. Sky is the limit.

Doesn't he know he severely limited his fund raising ability by declaring this early? Who's advising his campaign? Jesse Benton?

Once Jesse gets out of prison might work, cuz then he'll have street cred.

I'd vote for him.

'Cause we're supposed to support candidates people would vote for, right? And people would definitely vote for Kanye.

My wife and I were watching him spend quite a few minutes basically trying to either apologize, or justify his actions, to Taylor Swift for their "first meeting" a number of years back (when he took over the stage). The mere fact that he went on for a while without saying anything other than "the kids know!" qualifies him as a top tier candidate.

I just don't get his brand of genius, apparently.

If he wins in 2020, then the Idiocracy is complete. But at least the "kids" will have voted. Democracy!

[wizardwatson]

I'd vote for him.

'Cause we're supposed to support candidates people would vote for, right? And people would definitely vote for Kanye.

Not only that but he tells it like it is even more than Trump. He said Bush doesn't care about black people on live TV. He also interrupted Taylor Swift's award ceremony and just this weekend Taylor Swift presented him with a lifetime achievement award. How's that for sticking it to the man.

He's authentic.

FYI Eugene Craig, the person quoted in the article as starting the PAC for Kanye is the same person who was trying to organize the competing September MB on facebook for the 22nd, vs the Sept 17th, Constitution Day MB for Rand.

Kanye is a Republican?

How is he on foreign policy?

[orenbus]

I don't think Kanye is a Republican.

Hmm weird.. the guy who started the PAC for Kanye seems to be Republican, he says:

"I think he will bring an interesting dialogue to our party, and he'll find a lot of people who want that dialogue.

...

Craig also runs the Young Minority Republicans Fund, but said his filing was totally separate from his work for Maryland's GOP. ... And his favorite cause was introducing the Republican Party to skeptics.

Kanye West/Frito Pendejo 2020!

[JusticeBob]

When I see the support Trump is getting, Kanye might just have a shot. Should that scare people? I think Kim Kardashian being first lady would probably scare more people...

[Philhelm]

I will not bend the knee to the first gay fish president.

Update:

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/...072414248.html

Kanye West was a man of few words in seemingly conceding a loss in his presidential run Tuesday night, tweeting simply “WELP KANYE 2024” shortly after midnight.

The hip-hop titan had only made it onto the ballot in a dozen states, missing filing deadlines or failing to accrue enough valid signatures in others. None of the early returns from the states in which he was eligible had him reaching even 0.5% of the vote.

[alivecream]

I'd vote for him.

'Cause we're supposed to support candidates people would vote for, right? And people would definitely vote for Kanye.

Then I'd vote for him too.
