Would Ta-Nehisi Coates ever win a presidential election?

Very doubtful.

He has zero political experience outside of writing op-eds and appeals to a very insubstantial minority subset of specific black voters (not a plurality), self-loathing white and identity-grappling Asian college grads, and people who will vote for someone simply because tumblr told them that if they don't, they are a bad person.

If nothing else, his stance on reparations would kill any chance he would have of getting through primaries.
