Who wants a bipolar musician who thinks he’s Jesus to be President?

The Kardashian girl is about to divorce him and get custody of the four children.

Grounds? Insanity.

Everyone assumes this will hurt Biden. But that may not be the case.

Almost any third party candidate will benefit Trump. As we see in poll after poll, by historic margins Trump supporters are voting FOR Trump, whereas Biden supporters are NOT voting FOR Biden - but AGAINST Trump.

I doubt it will help Trump. Seems to me it will only pull off support of the minorities that would otherwise support Trump if West wasn’t on the ballot.

Just as many here will crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump the blacks will crawl over broken glass to vote for the Dim’s. West will pull far more votes from Trump than Biden...

I'm positive Trump would have won the popular vote back in 2016 if not for Gary Johnson, who ran on the Libertarian party.

My brother voted for Johnson back then. I think he'll be voting for Trump this year. Libertarian party seemed to be comprised of "dudes," and I can't imagine any of them voting Democrat.

This idiot doesn’t know what he wants. First he throws his hat in the ring for 2024, then decides no, he’ll do it THIS year. Then he backs out, then he files in certain states.

If this isn’t a 4-D chess move to rob votes from the Dems, then he’s a dumbazz.

Kanye is on the ballot in OK

NJ Rejected

Ballot Status is pending in

WI
OH
CO

IL
MO
WV
AR
VT

Those later 5 (and OK) do nothing for us, safe Trump states plus Vermont and IL, though I would like to see what he could do in IL, I expect state rats to keep him off.

Wisconsin is the important one on this list, where even taking 1% from Biden could be the difference. (Hopefully he wouldn’t take from Trump, you just never know). They showed a screen shot of petition page with most of the names crossed off, I don’t know what’s up, seems like a lot of the pages were like that.

Colorado I think is easy to get on the ballot, at least they always have a bunch of random independents on there (so it must be easy).

Interesting OH tidbit, of his submitted list of electors, 12 of 18 live at only 2 addresses.

Other competitive states where there is still time to make the ballot

AZ
GA
IA
MN
OR (not really but one can dream)

Most presidential candidates would be opposed to the KKK, but Kanye is just fighting the KK.

Don’t need him, but would be nice in WI, AZ, IL, CO, and MN.

He had better have submitted 10,000 sigs because the Wisconsin Sec/State will be deeming as many as possible as invalid in order to protect Biden.

He’s made it in CO, as expected. Mary Jane, that could be helpful.

Democrats are saying he submitted his WI petitions literally a couple minutes too late.

Interesting quote, he said he’s “walking” rather than running for President. Candidates used to “stand” for office rather than run but I never saw ‘walk’ used before.

You miss the point entirely

Every black write in vote for Kanye comes directly off the Biden total

Kanye is a Trump Ally, running to attract black voters that won’t vote for trump but will vote for him.

No democrat can win without all the black vote
