8 Reasons Why Kanye West Would Be The Best Presidential Candidate Right Now
dailymail.com

A little while ago, in his VMA rant/award acceptance speech, Kanye announced that he will be running for president in 2020. However, with the hilarity that is the current presidential race, I thought, "Why can’t Kanye just run four years early." If you don’t believe that he would make a good president or, at least, a better one than any of these candidates, let me convince you.


1. Everyone would get free Yeezys.

OK, let's start off with the fact that Kanye has promised free pairs of Yeezy Boosts to everyone if he is elected president. I mean, that would probably solve any problems with the economy. Actually, it wouldn’t. Stop harassing me, it wouldn’t hurt to get a pair of $2,000 shoes for free.


2. All issues would be solved over Twitter.

Who wouldn’t love seeing Kanye and ISIS go at it via twitter. ISIS would probably back down because of embarrassment. #ISISWearsCoolPants


3. Kanye West would be the first president who could veto himself.

Readers right now are probably asking, “How can he veto himself?” Well, that's just what you can do when you are president, vice president, and secretary of state.


4. "Keeping up with the Kardashians" would become the best show on TV.

Imagine "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" in the White house with First Lady Kim Kardashian. We would get a real inside look at the presidential family. Imagine all of the problems, drama, crying, lavishness, and I guess all of the same old stuff, but in the White House.

5. We'd have a new National Anthem.

We would automatically have the best national anthem in the world. It would have a two-minute gospel intro. It would feature Jay Z and Travis Scott. It would be fully auto-tuned. It would use a few samples, including one from the original national anthem. It would be glorious.


6. All debates would be lit.

“Ayyy yo, imma let you finish...” Who wouldn’t love hearing that at every single debate? Kanye West would go up, say what he needed to say, give a little shrug, drop the mic, and be out. Or he can simply yell over them about them not having the answers. Either way, he would win every debate because no one would be able to respond before he left.


7. His State Of The Union Address would be inspirational.

While his debates would be short, or just repetitions of how he is a genius, his State Of The Union Addresses would be those year-long Kanye rants that we all know and love.


8. The White House would have a new name.

President West would probably rename the White House to the Black House because he's Kanye West.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
