2020 Presidential Race

In his press conference yesterday, Donald Trump said that he didn't have anything to do with helping Kanye West get on the ballots in a few select states. This is yet another lie. Members of Trump's own campaign, including a Trump campaign lawyer named Lane Ruhland, have been hand delivering nominating petitions on Kanye West's behalf with state regulators in Madison, Wisconsin. A Wisconsin state GOP spokesperson has confirmed that Lane Ruhland (who is a woman), has been retained by the Kanye West campaign.

If it sounds like a conflict of interest for an attorney to be simultaneously representing two political campaigns which are vying for election to the same office, that's because it is. A government watchdog group on Friday filed a complaint against Lane Ruhland with the Wisconsin Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) which alleged that she has been violating ethics and conflict of interest obligations by working for both the presidential campaigns of President Donald Trump and rapper Kanye West at the same time. It is easily proven that Ruhland was hand delivering petitions to help Kanye West get on the ballot in Wisconsin, because she is literally on a video doing that very thing. The video was recorded by a local news station in Wisconsin. It is also easily proven that Lane Ruhland still works for the Trump campaign. That is because Ruhland's name appeared on a legal brief filed in Wisconsin federal court on behalf of the Trump campaign on July 27th. That document still lists Ruhland and two other attorneys from her firm as legal representatives of the Trump campaign. Lane Ruhland is a former general counsel for the Republican state party of Wisconsin, and she should have known better than this. This is highly unethical.

Now, as far as the election is concerned. I don't care about this, other than to point out the obvious: It is a laughably absurd campaign stunt and far too transparent in its objective to be effective. This is such a desperate ploy to pull a few black voters away from Biden in swing states, that it is more pathetic than anything else. The fact that the Trump campaign thinks that they need to resort to a stunt like this in order to win, is very revealing about what they honestly think their chances are in November. Desperate people resort to desperate measures. The Trump campaign thinks they are going to lose... and they are right.

Can it really get any more hilarious (and pathetic) then attorneys for Donald Trump's campaign working so hard to get a famous black person on the ballot (and any idiot they could find would apparently suffice), in order to siphon black votes away from their opponent, because they know that their own candidate can't get any black votes of his own? Members of Donald Trump's campaign (attorney Lane Ruhland) apparently believe that they have a better chance of getting black voters to vote for someone like Kanye West, than they do of voting for the president - who claims that he has done more for blacks than Abraham Lincoln. Think about what a desperate stunt this is. It is an incredibly pitiful ploy.

So Trump is apparently trying to help a black man get on the presidential ballot. That sounds kinda racist. So when is it bad for the black race that a black man is wanting to run for president? Is it only bad because one side of the perceived "wrong side" of the political spectrum is promoting this? The only reason has to be to pull black votes from the Democratic side because that's the only reason the black vote would shift from the Democratic side not because:

1. Their nominee is saying some pretty openly racist things
2. Democratic leadership is proving in several states that they don't care about the black community and letting violence run rampit furthering destroying the black communities.

And yeah I would call it pretty racist to assume that the black vote is only going to sway because a black guy is running on the other side. But then again as Biden said the black community is not that diverse. I assume that means that they all will think the same way.

I feel bad for you that your have been cornered into supporting a bigot for president in 2020. Hereโ€™s hoping that your black friends are articulate, CLEAN, and bright. ๐Ÿ‘

I figure they are not so "incredibly diverse" culturally, to vote for Kanye in any great number, although Trump's campaign seems to be implying that the AA community are idiots

Is Trump speaking for Kanye? Or maybe just his attorneys are..

Just helping out a black man by helping him onto the ballot. I guess they feel he couldn't manage it on his own.

I'm no Donald Trump.. Maybe I should start helping out black folk, by putting them on a ballot and then run against them, claiming I've done more for them than anyone in history?

So you're saying running against a "person of color" is racist.

You're racist.

I'm saying that if Donald puts a black person on a ballot, that he believes will lose, Donald must really love beating black people.
