Nothing against Kid Rock, but what are qualifications to be a United States Senator...?

How about holding a local office first ?

Check the Constitution. 30 years old, 9 years a US citizen and an inhabitant of the state they represent. Nothing about a local office is there?? Your President was just elected never having ever held elective office before. Stop being an elitist. These professional politicians are the reason we have the problems we do.

Hmm. Seems to be a new hobby. NASCAR’s now-retired Carl Edwards is supposedly toying with a move into politics. It’s the name recognition thing. Voters are shallow enough to put people like Al Franken and Jesse Ventura in office. The celebrity gets an instant bump over more qualified candidates. Kind of how Obama cruised into it. And yet - Trump benefited from his celebrity as well. Thank God!

The same thing that “qualified” Al Franken, I guess.

Like Obama did before running for Senate? Face it, Kid Rock would be much better than the alternative which is almost certain to be another democrat.

Exactly, who wants to risk being screwed over by an amateur politician? We need a professional politician to do that!

Really, if we arent going to bother to conserve the same methods that we have used to screw the citizens of this country over for over 100 years then why even bother to call ourselves conservatives?
