At least six operatives who have been prominently involved in the Republican political world have been linked to Kanye West's captivating 11th-hour independent 2020 presidential bid.

As the rivalry between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden intensifies with less than three months to go until the election, the involvement of the operatives in West's campaign, some of whom have ties to Trump's camp, raises questions about the motives of those helping to put his name on the ballot.

Shortly after announcing his presidential aspirations earlier this summer, West disavowed his support for Trump during an interview with Forbes, saying, "I'm taking the red hat off, with this interview." He also said he would run as a Republican "if Trump wasn't there. I will run as an independent if Trump is there."

He also acknowledged that his presidential bid could bleed out Biden's Black voters saying, "To say that the Black vote is Democratic is a form of racism and white supremacy."

West is vying to get on the ballot in several states after faltering in his attempts to do so in others and scrambling to find electors -- party-tied officials who represent states in the Electoral College -- to represent him should he win.

The revelations about the operatives come as questions have been raised about West's motives for the campaign and his behavior during his opening rally. His wife, Kim Kardashian West, has called for empathy saying her husband has undergone personal and artistic pressure on top of his bipolar disorder, and that "his words sometimes do not align with his intentions."

So, everyone knows at this point that Trump and his idiot thugs in the GOP are trying to get Kanye on the ballot to siphon votes from Biden under the racist assumption that blacks would vote for Kanye because he's black, eh?

Only problem for them is, Kanye has much stronger support from white whack Job Trump supporters than he does black Americans.

Among African Americans, his approval rating is at 15%, and among white people, 24% rate Kanye favorably and 50% unfavorably. Republicans have a somewhat higher opinion of him. They are split on West, with 35% viewing him favorably and unfavorably.

Yet another failed attempt by the GOP to get their idiot president re-elected. I understand he's a failure with zero accomplishments or record to run on, but to drag Kanye West into this fiasco is downright embarrassing.
 
Has to be some Russian involved in this? Right? :lamo :peace

Already making excuses for in steep mental decline Biden losing. Boy this is rich.
