Interesting move by Republicans if confirmed as non-fakenews:

One elector trying to get rapper Kanye West on the presidential ballot in Wisconsin is married to a former chairwoman of a Republican county committee and was photographed with President Trump at his inaugural.
In Arkansas, a Republican operative who signed West’s ballot petition was at one point interviewed to be Trump’s campaign manager for his 2016 bid.
And West’s ballot petition in Ohio was signed by a lawyer who has previously represented state Republican campaign committees.

West’s presidential effort has largely sputtered since he formally filed to run as an independent candidate representing the “Birthday Party” in July. He has held just one campaign rally last month in North Charleston, S.C., where heappeared onstage wearing a bulletproof vest and broke down in tears, prompting his wife, Kim Kardashian West, to post messages on Instagram asking for the public’s “compassion and empathy” as he struggles with bipolar disorder.

But in at least five states, Republican activists and operatives — including some who have publicly supported Trump anda lawyer who has worked for his 2020 campaign— have been involved with efforts to try to get rapper on the November ballot, according to an examination by The Washington Post of public filings and social media posts. Their involvementraises the specter that his candidacy is being propped upby aGOP-driven effort to siphon votes from presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
Trump told reporters this past week he had “nothing to do” with helping West get on the ballot but added that he likes West “very much.”

Kanye would be the most quotable person in that debate.

[ThePaleoLibertarian]

Kanye is probably the most conservative candidate in the race TBH.

[Pauls' Revere]

I think it would do him good. He's so misunderstood.

Why, if someone is good in one field can they not be accepted or given the slightest opportunity to express and be creative in other fields?

It was a strike against me that I didn't wear baggy jeans and jerseys and that I never hustled, never sold drugs.

Black people can be the most conservative, the most discriminating. Especially among ourselves. It wasn't white people who said all black men have to wear baggy jeans.

I would hear stories about Steve Jobs and feel like he was at 100 percent exactly what he wanted to do, but I'm sure even a Steve Jobs has compromised. Even a Rick Owens has compromised. You know, even a Kanye West has compromised. Sometimes you don't even know when you're being compromised till after the fact, and that's what you regret.

All these walls that keep us from loving each other as one family or one race - racism, religion, where we grew up, whatever, class, socioeconomic - what makes us be so selfish and prideful, what keeps us from wanting to help the next man, what makes us be so focused on a personal legacy as opposed to the entire legacy of a race.

Imagine if Trump places Kanye as an advisor?

Obviously Kanye being on the debate stage isn't going to happen, but goddamn it would be the greatest thing to ever happen on a debate stage if it did.

LOL
He will have to first convince Kanye to abandon his Presidential campaign in the greater good of MAGA Revolution... might not be so easy.
