American Rock Star for US Senate?
American Thinker.com ^ | July 14, 2017 | Jamie A. Hope

He’s a cowboy, an American Badass, rock star, and could add the title U.S. Senator to his list of accomplishments if Kid Rock has his way. Yes, that’s right, Kid Rock has officially announced he is running for U. S. Senate in Michigan. He won’t apologize for the confederate flag on his car, his politics, or support for his President Donald J. Trump – and with that attitude, he may be just the person to take incumbent Senator Debbie Stabenow down.

He’s rugged, has a redneck flair about him, and is new to the political process, but so was President Trump – and that’s why Senator Stabenow shouldn’t take Kid Rock lightly. He has millions of fans, and because he has been loyal to his home state of Michigan, you can bet he already has a built in base of potential voters. So what do we know about Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie?

We know his loyalty is to Michigan and Michigan jobs. His beer brand, American Badass, is made in Detroit, Michigan. He bought Made In Detroit clothing line out of bankruptcy and as he stated in a fiery letter to the Detroit Free Press in response to a reported hatchet job in an article about his company, “The goal of MID is to re-instill a sense of Detroit pride, give back to the community, try to create jobs in our home state and maybe one day build our own facility somewhere close to the riverfront in Detroit.” He explains that he also has never taken a salary for it, has helped local merchants with this line, donated to local charities, and set up a scholarship fund for Wayne State University through this company.

Hey, why not?
StabMeNow will continue to vote for the destruction of America.

Go Kid!
Knocking off a Dim would be great. And he’s likely much more qualified to be in the Senate than a joke like Al Franken.

“I am definitely a Republican on fiscal issues and the military, but I lean to the middle on social issues. I am no fan of abortion, but it’s not up to a man to tell a woman what to do. As an ordained minister I don’t look forward to marrying gay people, but I’m not opposed to it.”

Just what the Republicans in the Senate need; another moderate.

I don’t think so. But then if the top-tier candidates don’t run they should be identified and end up as outside-looking-in parihas.

He’s got my vote. Then again, a dead dog would get my vote over Debbie StabMeNow.

Some in Michigan will say, “You rock, Senator!”...

While others might say, “Rock, you Senator!”

But he’s better than Stabenow, is self-funding, and he presumably appeals to young people more than some 55 year old fuddy duddy lawyer with silver hair. To govern, you have to accept that you will not completely agree with all the people on your team.

95 percent of the rats will vote for the destruction of America not only StabMeNow. Count on it.

Will definitely get many votes.

To consider him the best candidate available you have to say that there are no true conservatives in Michigan or that a real conservative couldn't win the state. Is that the case?

No it wouldn't be Senator Rock but Senator Robert James Ritchie, as this is his birth name.

I suspect so. Look who has been elected to the Senate from Michigan in recent years.

Slightly? Probably a lot more, especially credibility
