So about 5 days ago, Kanye West is dropping out, now I'm reading he had some kind of rally on Sunday? I'm curious, was there any leadupto the rally today, or was it somehow sprung almost out of nowhere?

It was apparently a campaign launch rally. It was a sight to behold for sure. He stepped onto the stage wearing a bulletproof vest and with "2020" shaved into his head. He had to yell over the audience, and was frequently drowned out, because he didn't have microphone.

Thematically, he talked a lot about God and abortion and how famed abolitionist Harriet Tubman was secretly pro-slavery apparently and about the terms of his deal with Adidas and stuff like that. At one point he proposed that women should be paid $1 million each to have babies.

He's already missed deadlines to qualify for ballot access in several states.

I've been told he's a genius.

:)Some of what he said was addressed in an article I read before my post. The million dollar babies and Adidas stuff weren't mentioned though. I couldn't bring myself to watch any video.

He never dropped, that was fake news. But his campaign is very roughly put together.  Hopefully he can be more organized because he brought up a lot of good points during his rally.

I couldn't find anything when I initially looked. There was just a glut of results. I now see that news of him dropping out came from his campaign manager, Steve Kramer. I doubt he'd be purposefully spreading misinformation, so I'm assuming there was some kind of communication breakdown, or Kanye did do a full running, not running, running again 360.

Some of you guys are being played like a god damned video game. 1,152 people are registered as a presidential candidate. He's one of them and has less chance than most of them.

Stop giving him attention.

He does have a bipolar disorder... this all could be a manifestation of that.  To be honest, from the stuff he is saying... it certainly sounds like he is off his meds...

He stands no chances to get elected and is already too late tun in a couple states.

That said, in the states that he can run, he will certainly steal some votes, and considering his rather right-wing views, he's probably mostly stealing Trump votes in those states.

You say that like it was humanly possible to see a link with the phrases "Kanye West" and "campaign launch rally video" in the same sentence and not click. I HAD...NO...CHOICE!!

yeah, I’m pretty sure he is off his meds.  Sounds like his family is trying to get him to sit down with a doctor but he is refusing... kinda sad....

I had a cousin who had bipolar issues.  He would go off his pills and do crazy stuff.  Then he would try to self medicate with hard drugs.... he died of a drug overdose last month... this crap is real and serious...

I'm not sure if he is trying to steal black votes from Biden or evangelical vote from Trump.  Anyways he is an idiot and I've never like him.  His rap and now his gospel can screw off.  His dumbass will probably fail to get on the ballot in most states.   I saw he already failed to get on SC ballot due to missing deadline.
