Kanye for first lady?
The betting website Paddy Power estimates that reality television star Kim Kardashian has a 1,000-to-1 shot — or a .001 percent chance — at being elected president in 2016.
That means that, if you bet $100 that Kardashian will win the White House on the website, you’ll win a whopping $100,000 if America elects Kim. Sounds like easy money, right?
So what would a Kardashian administration look like? Undoubtedly, she’d want to make her family — Kris, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie, Kendall, Rob and maybe even Bruce — members of her cabinet, and of course Kanye West would serve as first lady.
As Kim is a clear Democrat — she declared her allegiance to the party ahead of the midterm election — she would probably represent something akin to an Obama third term, even though the president famously regards her husband as a “jacka–.”

While it’s unlikely that Kim will actually run for the White House in 2016, the reality TV star has certainly flexed her political muscle as of late.
Kardashian penned an op-ed in Time last week calling on Obama to employ the term “genocide” when talking about the 1915 massacre of 1.5 million Armenians.
Unfortunately for Kim, other celebrities named by Paddy Power — including Charlie Sheen, Alec Baldwin and Eva Longoria — have slightly higher odds of achieving the presidency.
The international betting site places the highest odds on Hillary Clinton (2-to-1) in 2016, but the six most likely candidates who follow her — led by Jeb Bush (4-to-1) — are all Republicans.
One thing’s for certain: If Kim K. does ascend to the Oval Office, White House press briefings will be televised live on E!
