“there’s two serious candidates in the race that will do just that”
The career politicians will get trounced if Kid Rock is minimally competent.
They will be about as successful as Ted Cruz last year trying to defeat Trump with the good old purity checklist of past positions and old quotes.
Kid Rock will fill stadiums for his rallies. Nobody will even bother getting to know your two serious candidates.
Agreed...he will win. I said the same thing about Trump the day he announced. Everyone laughed at me.
I wish more popular patriots would step up:)
One is a former judge. The other has never run for office, but helped run Trump’s successful candidacy in Michigan. Not career politicians.
Again, if Kid Rock can make his case in the primary and distance himself from those unsettling social leftist positions and a lot of the other heavily negative stuff, and prevail, he’ll prove he’s worthy of support. Let’s face it, we don’t KNOW if he can run a race yet.
The fact that Kid Rock can fill a stadium only attests to his popularity as an entertainer. If that can’t translate to VOTES, it won’t matter.
Celebrity candidates can be a crapshoot. Here in Tennessee, way back in 1948, we had one of the biggest names in country music run as the Republican nominee for Governor. He packed in the crowds (i.e. “filled the stadiums”) for his rallies, and when it came to the election, he got 1/3rd of the vote against the Democrat.
They will be about as successful as Ted Cruz last year trying to defeat Trump with the good old purity checklist of past positions and old quotes.
Yep. It's a different ballgame now. Gone are the days when GOP candidates could show up with $400 haircuts and talk a good game on abortion and "traditional marriage" only to go to Washington and sell their voters down the river.
Rock is looking to win Michigan by appealing to Trump voters, not Jeb Bush voters. And those working class white guys with tattoos on their arms driving pickups don't give a damn about abortion or gay marriage (and they probably look at porn on their computers as well).
