[b][color:#3333FF]Link..![/color][/b] A surprising name has been thrown out as a potential Republican contender for Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenow’s Senate seat next year: Kid Rock. The rocker’s name came up as a possible candidate at a Michigan Republican Party convention last weekend. There have been no official decisions announced as of yet. Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, once said he tended to vote Republican but qualified himself as “more libertarian” to Rolling Stone in 2013. But he has supported several major Republican candidates. The Michigan native threw his support behind Mitt Romney in 2012 and supported Ben Carson in the 2016 presidential election. He later switched to Donald Trump as he became the party’s nominee. Rock — or Ritchie — even started to sell pro-Trump merchandise in his official online store including t-shirts with the phrase “God, Guns & Trump” in red, white and blue-colored text. Stabenow has been in office since 2000 and Inside Elections With Nathan L. Gonzales rates the race Solid Democrat, but Republicans feel more confident after Trump’s win there in 2016 — the first GOP presidential candidate to win there since 1988.

Stabenow, iirc, was Guvner there in the great lake state too.
She's a fhookin' DEM, LIB tard from the get-go.
Not sure 'Ol Kid Rock would have enough brain cells to do a good job, but if it helped MI stay in the Red corner more power to him.
My state is blue (well, almost Red and i hope becoming more so) so like Michigan we've got our get our schidt together as well.
ETA: fact check..... D Stabenow was not a MI Guvner.... that was J. Granholm.

I never much cared for him, especially after he played such a dousche in Joe Dirt, but he's really changed my mind the last few years.
While it's true that all liberals are crazy people, not all crazy people are liberals.

Jesse Ventura got a governorship, Al Franken, Senator. That was Minnesota, but still, Kid should be a slam dunk.

He recorded a song about abortion that never saw any airplay. That and him being a gun guy about sums it up for me.

So, the Rs are likely to run Kid Rock in MI; Carl Edwards in MO; and, Curt Schilling in Massoftwochits?
Wow.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

But they have no political experience...
And haven't organized a community either.

It seems like virtually every state is saddled with useless POS Senators.
Florida has been double cursed, having both Bill Nelson (D-C) {The "C" of course is for Communist}, and little Marco.

Your birth state ain't doing too hot either.  I say go for it Ritchie. Hell if anyone with two+ live brain cells can consciously pull a lever for Fricken-Franken, Ritchie should walk in.

were I a Michiganer i'd vote for him in a heartbeat. You bet, not only is Ritchie a great talent he is also a very smart individual and he has never forgotten where he came from. I think he'd do a good job.
