KID ROCK TO RALLY WITH MICHIGAN ARMY VETERAN JOHN JAMES FOR US SENATE
The Daily Caller ^ | 06/11/2018 | Henry Rodgers

Posted on 06/12/2018 2:27:24 PM PDT by MarMema

Kid Rock will rally with U.S. Army combat veteran John James, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

The announcement comes after Rock, a Michigan native, contemplated a Senate bid for several months before announcing he would not run in October. Rock later signaled early support for James when he invited him to sit court-side at a Detroit Pistons game in January.

“Kid Rock’s appearance on stage with John James would be a game changer if he formally endorses,” Matt Frendewey, a former spokesperson for the Michigan Republican Party, told TheDCNF. “If James gets a formal endorsement, it would be a massive boost for him and a devastating blow for his opponent Sandy Pensler, who recently came under attack for disparaging comments about the president.” (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Republican Senate Candidate Questions Trump’s Wealth, Says He Speaks Like A Fourth Grader [VIDEO])

James’s “Rally to Take Back Michigan” will take place Tuesday in the Detroit suburb of Novi. As well as Rock, Rob O’Neill, the retired Navy SEAL who shot Osama Bin Laden, will also speak at the event. O’Neill endorsed James in late 2017.

The primary will take place on Aug. 7, 2018. The winner will take on Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow in the Nov. 6 primary.

“If James gets a formal endorsement [from Kid Rock], it would be a massive boost for him and a devastating blow for his opponent Sandy Pensler, who recently came under attack for disparaging comments about the president.”

Yeah, badmouthing President Trump really helps your chances with GOP voters if you're a GOP candidate, Sandy. Run with that...

Sandy Pensler, who recently came under attack for disparaging comments about the president.”

I'm fully on board for James but in all fairness to Pensler, it was a one sentence comment that was taken completely out of context that led to the attacks on him.............

Fellow campaign folk are telling me Pensler is running ads downstate calling John James a radical liberal?

Hardly the case...if you're going to attack someone, at least say something that is not patently ridiculous.

Anyway glad to hear you are on board for John James. We met him a few weeks ago in Gaylord and were most impressed.

Yea, they are. They're accusing him of financially contributing to some leftist Hispanic gal who supports sanctuary cities........

I don't know if that's accurate or not. But it doesn't matter to me.

I have a close friend in Boyne City that I stay in contact with and he tells me that that area is being taken over by liberals as evidenced by the democrat yard signs he has witnessed over the past two years...........

On, please. I’m a precinct delegate in Oakland County, I’ve met John James. Great guy. He’s the only chance we have against Stabenow.

Don't know who this Kid Rock person is.

The endorsement, of sorts, that mattered to me was seeing John James exchanging salutes with President Trump.

John James has my vote.

Kid Rock is a musician who does all kinds of music and has a nasty mouth but is still beloved here in Michigan. He has given lots and lots to helping kids in Detroit, etc

Yes, we are. My husband and I had the pleasure to meet him at a small rally in Gaylord a few weeks ago and he got some tough questions. We absolutely loved his energy, enthusiasm, and obvious patriotism.

He truly has a passion for serving his country. As a West Point graduate, and veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, he has shown his "true colors".

Additionally he is the only candidate endorsed by the national right to life.

I am a Michigan native. Whoever he is, he is not beloved by me.

Here I go off on a tangent again.

I made the mistake of listening to Ravel's Bolero this weekend. That is a severe ear worm for me. I can't get rid of it. I should have known better.

Bolero

Warning: It's 9 minutes and you'll need to keep adjusting the volume down as it goes on.

That is the VERY first record that I ever bought-—back in 1957-——I loved it.
