You're right. It's late and it's a longshot. But I think the deadline has only passed to file as an independent candidate in four states - so those four states he wouldn't appear on the ballot. Hypothetically, he could urge supporters to write him in on the ballot in those states.

I'm not convinced that he's serious about this yet, but I agree that I think he is serious about running eventually.
Personally, I'd love it if Kanye is a permanent fixture on the political stage for president until he wins.
