[ WP ] To counter Donald Trump , the Democratic party nominates Kanye West as their presidential nominee . This is their first debate .

`` This is preposterous, how can this man even be a candidate?'' Smirked Trump to his head advisory council, towering over the podium wide-eyed like an sparrow. 
 
 Mr. West stood in quiet confidence to the right. He might not have a lot to say about fiscal policy; he could not appropriate tax breaks in a way to create to most market inefficiencies; he was a self-proclaimed college dropout. But he knew how to captivate an audience. 
 
 The moderator arrived and applause ensued. `` Good evening American people, and welcome to the Presidential debate.'' 
 
 Beads of sweat poured down Kanye's forehead. He felt like running away. Trump had already began answering the first question about how he felt the biggest problem in America today was the threats to our financial security made by foreign cyber terrorists. 
 
 There was a long pause, it was Mr. West's turn to speak. His face was gleaming with what could have been blood, sweat, or tears. For the first time ever, Kanye was onstage in front of millions of eager people, without the slightest clue how to react. 
 
 And that's when it happened -- he raised his glass. `` Let's have a toast for the Douchebags, let's have a toast for the assholes, let's have a toast for scumbags -- everyone of them that I know, let's have a toast for the jerkoffs that'll never take work off. American People, I've got a plan, runaway fast as you can.'' 
 
 The crowd errupted.
