sne Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Kanye who is again running (and off his meds most likely) is holding his first rally right now in South Carolina. TMZ are streaming live for those who are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Kanye had a couple of absolute meltdowns on stage last night speaking rubbish as per usual. The guy needs help, not a huge stage and people who enable his Messiah complex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Watched a few snippets from Kanye’s ‘rally’. The man needs serious help. He’s having another breakdown. Off the meds, surrounded by the wrong people and he’s become radicalised. He’ll be dead inside 18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I can easily see him go into the last 2 weeks in a losing position then pull out of the race due to having to 'tske care of business' or some shite. Anything to save face. But that's a question to the more clued in. What happens if a candidate pulls out in the last second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into this question after the last time it was brought up on the forum, but don't think I posted the result. The short answer is 'it's complicated, and surprisingly is even more complicated after-the-election-but-before-the-president-is-sworn-in than it is before the election'. A simple-ish explanation is here: https://people.howstuffworks.com/what-happens-presidential-candidate-dies.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 He won't pull out, he's already laying the groundwork for his next step if he loses. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/07/19/donald-trump-says-may-not-accept-results-november-election/ Quote Donald Trump has said that he may not accept the results of the forthcoming presidential election, setting the stage for an epic showdown in November. In a wild and contentious interview with Fox News, aired on Sunday, the president said he was "not a good loser" and was fully prepared to challenge the results, if he loses to Democrat contender Joe Biden. He claimed that mail-in voting, which Democrats have pushed as a response to the coronavirus pandemic, “is going to rig the election.” Asked if this means that he will not accept the election results, Mr Trump said: “No. I have to see.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I just can't see him go into an election he'll likely lose. If that turns out to be the situation I'm sure he'll pretend he has more important stuff to do than being a president for a second term. But fwiw I still think he'll beat Biden. Don't US presidents statistically sit two terms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
