He could somehow win black voters and urban white voters? But if you'd asked the same thing about Donald Trump in late 2012, what would any of us had said?

It all depends on context

So you are literally just saying "but Trump" and "blacks/Millennials", without addressing any of the counterpoints to that.

Also how does he win Iowa or New Hampshire that way?

Winning Iowa or New Hampshire isn't necessarily needed.

Hillary won IA by 4 "delegate-equivalents", but the media narrative was all about a bunch of coin tosses that may or may not have determined the winner, how much the state hated Hillary, how weak she was, and about how it was really a tie - so it doesn't really count as a win. She then proceeded to get squashed in New Hampshire. But no worry - she had the minority vote. NV gave her a mild scare because of negative momentum post-NH, but after that she was able to run through the south, winning by landslides across the region. Bernie never recovered.

Bill Clinton lost both IA and NH in the 1992 primaries. But no worry, he had the south behind him, and won the nomination that way.

My point: IA and NH are overrated in the democratic primaries.



I know most of you think Kanye is going to win SC by getting 90%+ of the Black vote in SC, and then ride that wave to the nomination, but I just don't see that happening: Kanye likely won't even be the only Black candidate running, and I have a hard time seeing him getting the Black Church Establishment behind him even if he is. This is the real key to winning the Southern Black Vote, not being Black: look at Al Sharpton's 2004 performance.

And why would he win the Plains and Mountain States? And how would he win VA? Who in NOVA would vote for him?

If Kanye runs, it'll be as a spoiler independent.

The day after Kanye meets with Trump, stories come out suggesting that he's a LITERAL CUCK: http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/12/11/marquette-king-response-kim-kardashian-relationship-rumors-twitter/
