In the UK you generally need TWO things to rise to the upper levels in politics: INTELLIGENCE and POLITICAL ACUMEN. That applies both to those on the left (e.g. Tony Blair and Tony Benn) and those on the right (e.g. Margaret Thatcher and Rishi Sunak), as well as to those in the centre (e.g. Paddy Ashdown and Charles Kennedy). It applies as well to devolved administrations (e.g. Nicola Sturgeon) and those at city level (e.g. Ken Livingstone and Sadiq Khan). Love them or loathe them, our senior politicians have generally got plenty of brain power and they know how to use it.

In the USA, it seems, you need only ONE thing to rise to the upper levels in politics: MONEY. Kanye West certainly isn't short of that, so prepare yourselves for some Presidential briefings in rap!

>>> Kanye West is a talented man...in his field

I can only assume that Deskdiary didn't see his Glastonbury performance ;-)

I thought that Mr West was considered to be mentally unstable - is that a good or bad thing?

[Mamyalynne]

Hasn't stopped others in the past.

Why you all surprised .
He did indicate his intention in 2015

[Buenchico]

. . . or the present, Mamya ;-)

[Deskdiary]

I didn’t Buenchico - I’ll YouTube it later.

I take it it was poor?

Remember how we laughed when a dodgy hotel owner said he was running for Pres? Not laughing so much now.

[Buenchico]

It was dire, DD!
