Tucker Carlson-
"A poll by PBS last week found that Trump's approval rating with Hispanic voters is 41%. That's higher than it is with college educated White voters. If anything like that ever happened among African American voters then the game would be over. So that can't happen.....Kanye West must be destroyed."

Poor Kanye. He needs help.

His meeting with Trump yesterday was a disaster.

Only a disaster for CNN and ultimately a disaster for Democrats.
I mean who do Black voters trust more, Don Lemon or the 21-time grammy winner Kanye West?
West wasn't just showing love for Trump, he was critiquing Trump too, when he said Black folks prefer "Great America Great" instead of "Again", and when he told Trump that Stop And Frisk was a bad idea....
Despite his love for Trump, he doesn't sound like a Trump groupie, he sounds like an unbiased observer.

did you watch the video or read the transcript? it's not rational.


or do you believe the key to bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US is abolishing the 13th amendment?

I feel safe assuming that you are probably not very much in tune with what Black America feels and is thinking, but take my word for it that most African Americans in this country are disappointed and frustrated with Kanye.

And Donald Trump is simply exploiting him. "Look at my African American over there! The blacks LOVE me!"

Politicians exploit all races, because they are trying to win elections by winning the support of everybody.
Democrats are exploiting Blacks and Hispanics.
Republicans are exploiting Whites and maybe you could argue Blacks but if Kanye is your only example then I disagree.
And Trump doesn't need most Black Americans to vote for him, he just needs a little bit more and it'll be impossible for Democrats to win the midterms as they rely on the Black vote a lot more than Republicans do.

How overtly sick does Kanye need to be for his fan’s concerns to be legitimized? Would he need to take a similar path as Anna Nicole Smith who essentially died in spirit when her son overdosed, then followed suit?

The fact that people are stupid enough to believe the buck for Blacks starts and stops with his support for Donald Trump is a myopic slap in the face.

This wasn't just about Kanye getting votes for Trump, its clearly an exchange of ideas.
In that meeting, Kanye was critiquing Trump, not just praising him.

Kanye told Trump why he doesn't support Stop And Frisk, and he even told Trump that Black people don't like MAGA because they don't like the idea of America being great "Again" - because obviously in the past there was always things about America that Black people never liked.

When you read a transcript of what West said, he is a very clear-thinking personality, that you often won't see from Democrat fanboys.
Robert De Niro sounds mentally unfit, for example, and prone to violence.
Kanye was very articulate in denouncing Hillary (when he said the "I'm With Her" slogan wasn't inclusive), not threatening violence against her.

Kanye told Trump he doesn't like Stop and Frisk because Kanye was told by Chicago community leaders they don't like the policy. These leaders have been very vocal and Trump may listen to Kanye but not them??????.? And so many wonder about celebrities speaking out. Lol..ridiculously funny
