He'd be the equal of the donald in all those ways (well, i don't think he has ex-wives). He's talked about running.

I understand the heartbreaking contrast between Obama and trump's demeanor. How could America do this?

I'm not 100% sure it's all about race. Celebrity means A LOT in America. I live in the state that elected The Terminator as governor.

If Kanye runs and has a good program, I'll be tempted to vote for him in the Dem primary, because he's got the star status to allow us to WIN!
