Kanye West 2020

Everyone calm down:

1) If Trump has been unsuccessful, which I expect he will be, there will likely be a revulsion against celebrity candidates
2) Bernie or someone like him could easily portray Kanye as the puppet of the Establishment
3) How is he going to win IA and NH? I know the plan would be for him to win SC and run up the score with the Black Vote, but that would at best make him a spoiler, not the potential nominee. If Democratic primaries ran under Republican rules, there would be a much bigger threat he could do what Trump has done.

3. He'll likely win the NH primary. That state is somewhat tailored to him. IA would no doubt be a challenge.

How? I can't see how he has any special appeal to either the educated professionals in the Boston exurbs or the Working Class White Dems in the North Country.

Update: Kanye West: If I voted, I would have voted for Trump

Okay so nothing to fear. He'd be DOA in a Democratic Primary. He could run as a spoiler independent, but I doubt he'd get more than 2-3%, especially if the Black Establishment explicitly shuns him, which they probably would in that case.
