Kanye West is not happening. The Dem base is not as crazy as the GOP base. Two different worlds. Our fringe is the far left Bernie-Bros and they are not voting for Kanye. Kanye's base would be the people who only vote to protest the "system" and there aren't anywhere near enough of those voters in the party that usually nominate liberal technocrats (Hillary, Kerry, Gore) without too much fuss.

Allow me to be brutally honest here for a moment. Kanye is not going to win the Black vote in the Democratic Primary:

1) Black millennials, the segment of the African-American Community most likely to know who West is and care what he has to say, have absolutely terrible turnout.
2) Older Black voters, particularly older Black women, are the ones who actually vote in Democratic primaries
3) The fact that Kanye is married to a White Woman and lives with a rich White Family in LA is not going to be viewed positively by much of the Black Community, especially the older women who are most likely to actually vote.
Kim Kardashian is white??
