The Democratic debates
are being held tomorrow
in Las Vegas
and the party
still lacks
a Donald Trump counterpart.
It's too bad
that Kanye West
will probably not be
crashing the Party
after crashing
the American Idol auditions.
President Obama
dropped him some excellent advice
for his political career
while speaking
with donors in San Francisco
on Saturday.
West likes a challenge
so portraying the presidency
as a thankless office
was a smart use
of reverse psychology.
He began with
“First of all
you’ve got to spend
a lot of time
dealing with some strange characters
who behave like they’re on
a reality TV show
and added that “Saying that you have
a Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy"
is "what’s known
as off-message in politics."
He made his final point.
“Do you really think
that this country
is going to elect a black guy
from the South Side of Chicago
with a funny name?"
"That's cray."
