I do think that having him on the ballot in FL and a few other swing states would have been helpful in keeping them in the Trump column, but oh, well. Easy come, easy go.

Unlike, say, Michael Bloomberg, Kanye can’t drop hundreds of millions on a fruitless campaign without feeling the financial pain. At least he had enough sense to stop the bleeding early.

they have so many followers

have them do a write in push from their social media platforms

just control it all from there

they cant do any worse managing it themselves, and it’d cost way less

So, if I announce I’m running for President, can I say I’ve dropped out of the race, too?

Nobody actually thought he was serious, did they? Kanye likes attention most of all.

Just shows you that campaigning is tough. The long, arduous journey to the White House is one not for the faint of heart. One of his handlers commented, “He gave it his all. He really did. But in the end the stress and strain of campaigning were just too much.”

West is reportedly working on a new album to be released in late October in which the rapper will reportedly reflect on his presidential bid. His promoters have said to look for “Ye, I’ma Do It” to be released some time in late October.

Sure! You can put both statements in the same paragraph.

Saves time and paper.
