Kid Rock Running For US Senate

[Mr KLC]

Washington (CNN)Musician Kid Rock on Wednesday has become the latest "Rock" celebrity to express interest in jumping into politics.

"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," he tweeted Wednesday afternoon.

In a follow-up tweet, the 46-year-old Michigan native added: "I will have a major announcement in the near future."
As of Wednesday afternoon, there appears to be no Federal Election Committee records filed under "Kid Rock" or his legal name Robert James Ritchie or Robert Ritchie.

Judith Ingram, a spokeswoman for the FEC, confirmed to CNN that the FEC has not seen a filing under Kid Rock yet, but suggested checking back Thursday morning. She also said a filing like this "would first go to the Secretary of the Senate, which is the entry point for Senate filings." A call to the Secretary of Senate's office was not immediately returned.

The website Kid Rock referred to in his tweet features a photo of the musician -- sporting a hat, aviator sunglasses and a leather jacket -- next to a stuffed moose, sitting on a blue chair (decorated with stars). The website logo reads "Kid Rock '18 For US Senate." Page visitors can also purchase swag, including stickers, shirts, lawn signs and caps that read "Kid Rock for US Senate." The link to purchase apparel redirects visitors to the musician's Warner Bros. Records website.

Wonder how he will answer questions about his older brother who molested their younger sister.

Bob comes from a very wealthy family but for years portrayed himself as a street kid. After realizing rap/metal trend was done he became a down home redneck country boy. Next trend to jump on I guess is politics.

If republican he has shot


Democrats no

I'd never vote for a ghetto monkey, be it a real one or imposter.

President Ted Nugent and Vice-President Kid Rock. Beats some old farts that have been living the high life on a government salary their entire lives. (cough cough Clintons....cough cough Obamas......cough cough Kennedys....)

[jtoler]

I knew this would happen, once Donald was chosen any and everybody feels they can play the part.

[Cuse0323]

Who was that little dude he used to have in his videos?

[Kermit]

Who was that little dude he used to have in his videos?

That was Joe C. He died like 15 years ago. He had all kinds of health problems.

[El Nino]

Who was that little dude he used to have in his videos?

Joe C...pretty sure he had a disease and died.

[Kermit]

Joe C...pretty sure he had a disease and died.

I remember seeing something on TV that he was taking over 50 pills a day just to stay alive. Everyone thought that he was a little kid, but he was born the same year as I was, 1974.

Kid Rock looks mid 50 ish already. Surprised to see his only 46.

more proof jtoler is a liberal. Bookmarked, evidence is growing.

[jjgold]

Nobody realizes he might be greatest mastermind in American History

[BuckyOne]

Ever see a Kid Rock concert? Guy is a fantastic entertainer - knows how to work the crowd.

According to Donald Trump himself - did not realize is was so complicated.

[vividjohn45]

Will their be orgies at his senate office? He has my vote as long as he remembers "we the people" and lets me in

[grease lightnin]

SMH

[Mannyfan]

Weak opponent--he would have a chance. What an awesome rally he would have lololol like 60k packed in somewhere. Even Kid R not as much of "lowlife" as people he would be up against

[funnyb25]

Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy

Daggles?

[Enkhbat]

There will be many actors, singers, comedians and athletes in the Senate soon.

Joe C, that was it. Damn, so long ago. I remember it being only a matter of time before he was gonna die growing up. I'd like to say he had a nice life, but all the health issues had to suck. Kid Rock was always there for him, though.

Jesse Ventura did it, as Governor even, so why not Kid Rock? Fck it. The lady he would go against is a Dumbacrat anyway. Especially dumb. Stabenow is just another lifer trying to get paid. She's been sleeping for 15 years doing nothing for Michigan. Now she's awake, and trying to raise money. Someone must have shaken her out of her pill, and booze stupor.

I hope Tom Brady runs in 2024 after Trump's term is over.

I'd vote for him.

Could've been more concise. Something like, 'I don't like Kid Rock,' or something to that effect.

Who cares what his brother did. What does that have to do with Kid Rock?

FYI, I don't really care for Kid Rock.

[Buffalo Nickle]

Kid Rock is apparently a hard core Republican. That will be interesting.

[grease lightnin]

Imagine if Tom Hanks ran for prez

[TheMoneyShot]

Imagine if Tom Hanks ran for prez

Yes, he's very popular. But... I think for the most part... these celebrities who are extremely popular are indecisive in running... because let's say if they did lose... huge blow to their ego. Why would you risk it with your high reputation? Nobody likes losing.

[Buffalo Nickle]

Kid Rock is Republican but has nothing against gay marriage and is not pro life. No chance. He will be the worst R candidate of all time.

[darrell74]

Anybody here from Michigan, knows what his chances are?

Minnesota keeps re-electing a very bad comedian.
