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.

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

Well what the heck. Can't let the Democrats be the only one with an Al Franken in the Senate. We need one of our own.

Apparently there are many places real conservatives do not win, judging by who we have in the Senate.

Kid Rock needs a dose of Sunday School to get the social issue thing right! Maybe he’ll chose some advisors that are Christian in every sense of the word.

Stabenow used to live near us years ago. Our comment when she ran locally was “Dumb Debbie, dumb.” when she stuck her foot in her mouth.

And your senators are conservatives in progressive clothing, right?

You wouldn't like nothing better than turning the entire Senate over to the rat party!!!
