His candidacy shows how little the GOP knows about the Black vote.
He's liable to draw the whacko vote away ftom Trump.
Kanye is officially running for President. It's doubtful he will top 10% of the vote, but he makes a viable protest vote for a central Democratic demographic. In 2008, Obama won the black vote 95-4. In 2012 it was 93-6. Clinton did not do as well, winning only 89-8. With roughly 30-35 million votes case, these represent net votes of over 25 million votes in all three elections. What happens if Kanye West attracts 8-10 million of those votes?
It really cannot hurt Trump, unless he was going to poll more than 15% of the black vote without KW's presence.Your post sums up my thoughts too, minus the language. I think most who will vote for Kanye would have otherwise voted for Trump. That is more likely to hurt Trump.
That's not plausible. Kanye West getting 30% of the black vote is plausible.What happens if I grow wings overnight? Will I be able to fly?

“seven GOP sources told The Daily Beast they’re concerned the stunt could hurt the president one way or another.”
“[It] could siphon from Trump Blacks who don’t like Biden,” said John McLaughlin, a top Trump pollster. “Blacks who don’t like Biden in a two-way race would vote for the president. Now they might consider Kanye.”

Trump has proven competent. That's good enough for me.We're running a white guy. Unless I'm mistaken (and I'm not), you're white. So, you gonna vote for Biden then?
They aren't. Kanye is the instigator.The fact that the GOP is trying to get Kanye to run as a third party candidate to siphon black voters from Biden
This speaks volumes for how much you assume without checking the facts.speaks volumes to how worthless and out of touch they are with black Americans, and hell basically everyone outside of their wealthy donors.
I don't know about that, but he would have unkind things to say about BLM. He said them about Malcolm X in the day.But then again, what else do you expect from a group of idiots who claim MLK would be a Trump supporter if he were alive today?
Again, you assume what you do not know. Republicans don't need to pretend to like KW. They have things in common.CNN did a poll some years ago that showed Kanye was more popular with White Republicans than black voters. Mind you, that white Republicans HATED Kanye when he called Bush a racist back in 2005...and now he's suddenly one of the few black people they pretend to like.

They have the wellbeing of the black community in common.Is it the bipolar disorder, unmedicated of course by Kanye, or the aggressive ignorance that Republicans have in common with Kanye? Their worship of celebrity?
They have the wellbeing of the black community in common.
Republicans brought jobs, investment money, criminal justice reform. These are tools that help build a safe and prosperous community. Democrats brought BLM and crime.
That's not saying anything new. Trump is polling over 30% among blacks in the surveys which break it down that way. Since Democrat and independants total less than 20%, that means Trump gets favorable ratings with black DemocratsYes, and it is a shame that about 90% of blacks are apparently too stupid in your view to see this deep concern by the GOP for their well being.
I gave it the reaction it deserved.Like I said and you ignored: "You want to bet a month of posting privileges on [Kanye getting 30% of the black vote]?
Kanye is literally more qualified to be President than Joe Biden. While he made a name as a rapper, he is a successful businessman and a philanthropist. Your slur of him as mentally ill is telling. You think that he is not capable of thinking for himself, which is a racist attitude.I have a lot more faith in black voters than to assume they're idiots who'd vote for a literally mentally ill rapper, who would be an obvious disaster as President, totally unfit in every possible way for the job, just because he's black. They are not idiots, and you're assuming they are, with the political intelligence of the average MAGA.
The Democrats have not been the racist in this conversation. That was you.I kind of hope this kind of talk takes off, though. It's frankly offensive to believe it, but if the GOP wants to make this argument, do it. Every day I hope. Alternate that with the "Democrats are the REAL racists" ads! Should work great. Nothing like insulting the intelligence of a demographic to run them out of the GOP."

ON THE WAKANDA MANAGEMENT MODEL
“A lot of Africans do not like the movie [Black Panther] and representation of themselves in…Wakanda. But I’m gonna use the framework of Wakanda right now because it’s the best explanation of what our design group is going to feel like in the White House…That is a positive idea: you got Kanye West, one of the most powerful humans—I’m not saying the most because you got a lot of alien-level superpowers and it’s only collectively that we can set it free. Let’s get back to Wakanda . . . like in the movie in Wakanda when the king went to visit that lead scientist to have the shoes wrap around her shoes. Just the amount of innovation that can happen, the amount of innovation in medicine—like big pharma—we are going to work, innovate, together. This is not going to be some Nipsey Hussle being murdered, they’re doing a documentary, we have so many soldiers that die for our freedom, our freedom of information, that there is a cure for AIDS out there, there is going to be a mix of big pharma and holistic.”
