Kim Kardashian Won't Rule Out Running For President

Source: NYPost.com


Now here’s a campaign to get behind.

Fresh off her winning pitch to Donald Trump to spring a non-violent drug offender, Kim Kardashian is mulling her political prospects — and won’t rule out a White House bid.

“Never say never,” she coyly told CNN’s Van Jones in an interview set to air on “The Van Jones Show” Saturday at 7 p.m. after he asked if she would run for office.

“I honestly saw that if I could use my platform just to do something for one person, that it opens the conversation for so much more and for other people to want to do the same thing,” the reality star said.

if the monkey was my only other choice. I'm certain the monkey would be kinder, IQ probably a wash.

If so, and if it is as embarrassing as I might predict, that would make quite the opposing campaign ad.

She's "saner" than Kanye, but, ummm no. Unless, of course it was her versus Trump. Obviously, nearly anything is better than Trump.

There is already a narcissistic airhead in the White House. We most certainly do not need another.

Maybe the extraterrestrials will invade Earth and take over our planet before 2020. Anything would be better than 4 more years of drumpf or a Kardashian.

FUCK no! If she even runs and gets enough support to get to primaries I am leaving this stupid ass country. It is so bad now. I do not give a flying fuck where her stupid heart is. I know where her head is, floating somewhere because it is full of air.

She did a good thing, that does not mean she is presidential but she seems to think she is. Why is she on Van Jones' show again? She was on last week wasn't she? Isn't that more than enough?

She said she wanted to work with lawyers and in California if you do that for three years you're eligible to take the bar exam. She has three young children. Any political office ideas would be far in the future.

She came out in support of Hillary Clinton despite the chance that taking a side might hurt the family's TV show. I didn't hear anything about a right-wing freak-out about that. Seems as if she's free to be an activist and support liberal causes without repercussions. Good place to be.

Just the fact that Kim Kardashian is being interviewed by Van Jones shows us that there is far too much "so called" news coverage and far too little news. This is how Trump was created and elected, they used him to troll for ratings and they still do as they run around like cats chasing his twitter laser pointer. If Kim Kardashian starts trolling on Twitter she will be out net President.

get his name on the ballot for U.S. President and stick an R in front of his name and he'd win in a landslide.
