    If anything, the "350" just displayed they have TDS to such a point they are willing to sacrifice their "professional" reputations. Sounds sane...yeah...

    No. Asking me if I'm voting for Biden.

    I don't know about you, but to me, these are not the words of a sane man.

    “I never understood wind. I know windmills very much, I have studied it better than anybody. I know it is very expensive. They are made in China and Germany mostly, very few made here, almost none, but they are manufactured, tremendous — if you are into this — tremendous fumes and gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint, fumes are spewing into the air, right spewing, whether it is China or Germany, is going into the air.”

    Trump's priorities for a second term:

    "Well, one of the things that will be really great -- you know, the word experience is still good. I always say talent is more important than experience, I've always said that. But the word experience is a very important word. It's a very important meaning. I never did this before. I never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington, I think, 17 times, all of a sudden, I'm president of the United States. You know the story, I'm riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our first lady and I say, this is great. But I didn't know very many people in Washington. It wasn't my thing. I was from Manhattan, from New York. Now, I know everybody and I have great people in the administration. You make some mistakes like, you know, an idiot like Bolton. All he wanted to do was drop bombs on everybody. You don't have to drop bombs on everybody. You don't have to kill people."

    I can't simply dismiss this as Trump being Trump. Trump needs to be president, and he doesn't know how.

    https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/...ist-helping-him-get-on-the-ballot-in-colorado

    So...........there are Repub operatives working behind the scenes to get Kanye on the ballot in swing states to siphon votes away from Biden. You combine this with Trump's deranged claims about mail-in ballots in order to undermine confidence in the outcome of the election, Trump suing Nevada for issuing mail-in ballots to registered voters, Trump's inaction with respect to preventing foreign interference in the 2020 election, and the national campaign by Repubs to suppress the vote of certain demographics..........and you have something that makes Nixon's dirty tricks operation look mild by comparison.

    A GOP lawyer who represented the Trump campaign just last week is helping Kanye West get on the ballot in Wisconsin
    https://www.businessinsider.com/gop-lawyer-who-represented-trump-campaign-helping-kanye-west-2020-8

    "A well-connected Republican lawyer is helping Kanye West get on the ballot in Wisconsin, the New York Times reported.

    Lane Ruhland, who has done work for the Republican Natioal Committee and represented the Trump campaign in court just last week, was seen by a local reporter heading in to drop off ballot signatures for the rapper on Tuesday.

    A spokesman for Ruhland's law firm told the Times she was unavailable for comment."

    No problem with Repub operatives (I'd like to know who is telling them to do this) trying to get a guy with bipolar mental disease on the ballot? Come to think of it, how much worse could that turn out to be compared to what we have now.

    Every little thing they can do to cheat helps. Anybody who thinks that Trump can get elected on his "merits" is completely delusional.

    If your political party has a candidate and political platform that has so little appeal to the general public that you have to stoop to supporting a mentally ill candidate like Kanye in hopes of siphoning off a few votes, then you have already lost all sense of any moral compass and you are lost.

    We really need a viable third party in this country because the two we now have are complete crap.

    What makes you think they need him to be in their office? There is plenty of material in which to base the diagnosis. The diagnosis of 70 thousand mental health professionals all over the country should be evidence enough.

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/president-donald-trump

    Besides, he has proven the diagnosis that he's dangerous accurate through his handling of this pandemic. In which he has shown zero empathy or interest for human life, other than how it helps him or hurts him in his poll numbers.

    The loss of the GOP's moral compass became evident the moment they nominated a corrupt, lying conman who would go on to illegally pay hush money to a porn star before stealing money from his fake charitable foundation..........and continued to support him.

    An American running for office has absolutely nothing to do with this. The Trump campaign are taking advantage of a mentally ill individual. By setting up and managing a fake campaign in an attempt to dilute the anti-Trump votes.

    That is desperate! Being way ahead in the polls is not.

    Kanye West isn’t an American??

    and just because he was diagnosis with bipolar doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what he is doing and can’t think for himself. There is medicine for it. It’s a or a life long stigma as you’d like to suggest. He’s had it and done quite well for himself and has a message for america...and would like to get it out there.

    that’s hardly cheating. it’s frankly disgusting you dems think people with bipolar can’t live a successful life and be in office. Once more you think he isn’t american...

    So I see your "logic" is "Kanye is an American, therefore Republicans are not using him"

    I don't see much traction in that argument. As it doesn't explain why a Trump unconditional supporter is running a campaign managed by Trump Republicans.

    I think my hypothesis explains this better.

    West has ideas that appeal to Republcans...i get that dems don’t vote for anyone that the DNC doesn’t tell them to...but that’s not the case for free thinking people.

    i don’t support your theory that he has bipolar and therefore can’t run for office. i actually think it’s a disgusting theory

    If dems will vote for Biden I can't see why they wouldn't vote for Kanye. Kanye is bi-polar and Biden has dementia. Maybe they could run together and get really intense about forgetting where they are.

    Between Joe, Donald, kanye, i think the argument could be made that kanye is the most mentally healthy.

    Just sayin'
