Republican rocker Robert James Ritchie (aka Kid Rock) launches website in bid to challenge Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
----------------------
His name is Kiiiiiiiiiiiid — err, Senator Rock? Musician Kid Rock said Wednesday that he plans to run for U.S. Senate in 2018 in his home state of Michigan. The bid was first launched as a website, kidrockforsenate.com, which the singer just validated and shared on Twitter. He also tweeted, “I will have a major announcement in the near future.”
Rock, whose birth name is Robert Ritchie, has been suggested as a possible Republican candidate to challenge Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), who was first elected in 2000.
“I have had a ton of emails and texts asking me if this website is real… http://kidrockforsenate.com The answer is an absolute YES,” Rock tweeted on Wednesday. Rock’s political site also has the following rotating text block:
“Welcome to the Party”
“I’ll Rock the Party” “You Never Met a Politician Quite Like Me”
“Get in Senate and Try to Help Someone”
“In Rock We Trust”
“Pimp of the Nation”
“Born Free”
“Party to the People”
You can also buy a hat, t-shirt and bumper sticker there.
Rock, who initially supported Ben Carson in last year’s presidential race before switching his allegiance to Donald Trump, performed last August at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. In April, he also joined fellow musician Ted Nugent and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for a visit to the Trump White House, where they tweeted a shade-throwing photo of themselves in front of a portrait of former first lady Hillary Clinton.
Here is Rock’s announcement:

Face it, he is more appealing than Debbie Stablecow.
What's even more sad is an even older fat guy calling himself "Governor Dinwiddie" participating in the cyber universe and jealous of the "haves" simply because he can't sing, dance or even recite poetry......Sounds more like the green eyed monster has you by the testicles.......
Can he bring Stephanie the drummer with him onto the Senate floor? I’m all for it!
But then I have cleaned things out of the litter box that are more appealing than Stab-me-now.
And he is a nice guy personally.
I think Robert Young would be a better choice.
But if the choice is between Debbie and the Kid it is the Kid all the way.
I want more and more “normal” and decent people (and yes, Kid Rock is normal and decent compared to the filth in Washington) walking thru the door Trump kicked down.
