Would Kanye West have a greater effect on 2020 if he runs as Dem or independent?

[they don't love you like i love you]

That and the guy is currently institutionalized. After effectively endorsing Trump. Sounds like a real winner to me.

[Mr. Morden]

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, ie 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.

Plus, the chances are extremely high that there'll be at least one other black Dem. running (Cory Booker), and maybe more.  Not sure why Kanye West of all people would get more black votes than Booker.

More of a winner than Guy Picciotto tbqh

Kanye has no chance what so ever

The poll option says "nominee" so obviously that.

She's Armenian, so yes she's "Caucasian."

lololol, people don't consider Kim white

He should run as a green party candidate, would almost certainly get the nomination

You know the base of the Green party is left-leaning conspiracy types. They probably wouldn't like Kanye's massive wealth being a nod to Wall Street and all.

He'll do well in the Dem primary. Sadly he'll probably get the nomination.

Why would a guy who said he didn't vote and would've voted Trump if he did win the nomination?

You can't just say "muh black vote". I don't remember Al Sharpton coming close to winning the 2004 nomination.

A lot of people on this forum seem to think that being black automatically wins you the black vote, unless there are other black candidates running. Obama actually had to fight for it in 2008.

lololol, people don't consider Kim white

He is a Scandinavian, so it makes sense he wouldn't.
