OK here is a NY Post recap. It looks unlikely he will make it on enough states to be numerically able to win, other than by write in.
Given that I doubt he will make the debates.
Keeping Kanye out of the debates would be a big win for the Ds.
Recent polls show Kanye getting about 2% of the black vote....assuming he also gets about 2% of the white vote he's a respectable third party candidate who is actually outdrawing Ralph Nader and other recent third party candidates.
And the Ds are petrified of third party candidates......losing Florida to Bush in 2000 traumatized them because they assumed that all the voters who went for Ralph Nader actually "belong" to them and somehow were "stolen" by having a Nader running as a third party candidate.
Now the Ds think that all the black voters are a monolithic block that "belongs" to them......Biden actually said black people "ain't black" if they don't vote for him and then later he said all black people think alike. And Biden and the Ds just may turn out to be right on that.
Joe Biden proclaimed himself the expert on who is black and who isn't.....so I wonder if Joe Biden thinks Kanye is black?
