Kid Rock (real name Robert James Ritchie) is seriously considering a run for a Michigan senate seat in 2018, following a Tuesday report that the musician was leading a recent poll. Per SHTFplan.com:
“much to the surprise of the establishment, the musician is surprisingly popular. A recent poll from Delphi Analytica showed that Robert “Kid Rock” Ritchie was preferred by voters, when compared to incumbent Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow.”
To gauge Ritchie’s chances in a hypothetical general election matchup, Delphi Analytica conducted a poll from July 14-18 of 668 Michigan residents.
Of respondents who stated a preference between Debbie Stabenow and Robert Ritchie, 54% stated they would vote for Ritchie while 46% said they would vote for Debbie Stabenow.
These results could indicate that Ritchie is a popular figure in Michigan, Debbie Stabenow is unpopular, or some combination of concurrent trends. The relatively large, 44%, number of undecided respondents may be due to the early stages of the campaign.
And if you don’t think there’s a chance in hell that Kid Rock would win that Senate seat, ask yourself if this sounds familiar:
The star is in a decent position to run. He has very high name recognition in the state of Michigan and has a loyal fan base that enjoys his brash approach to life.
He also has a net worth between $80 and $120 million, according to the Federalist, so he could easily fully fund his own campaign without outside party funds.
And to top it off, Rictchie tweeted this last night:

“When my name was thrown out there for US Senate I decided to launch kidrockforsenate.com. I was beyond overwhelmed with the response I received from community leaders, D.C. pundits, and blue-collar folks that are just simply tired of the extreme left and right bullshit. As part of the excitement surrounding this possible campaign, I decided to take a hard look to see if there was real support for me as a candidate and my message or if it was just because it was a fresh new news story. The one thing I’ve seen over and over is that although people are unhappy with the government, too few are even registered to vote or do anything about it. We have over a year left until an actual election, so my first order of business is to get people engaged and registered to vote while continuing to put out my ideas on ways to help working class people in Michigan and America all while still calling out these jackass lawyers who call themselves politicians.”
Ritchie goes on to say:
“Since the announcement, the media has speculated this was a ploy to sell shirts or promote something. I can tell you, I have no problem selling Kid Rock shirts and yes, I absolutely will use this media circus to sell/promote whatever I damn well please (many other politicians are doing the same thing, they just feed you a bunch of bullshit about it). But either way, money raised at this time through the sale of merchandise associated with this very possible campaign will go towards our ‘register to vote’ efforts.
One thing is for sure though…The democrats are ‘shattin’ in their pantaloons’ right now…and rightfully so!”

Perfect anti-candidate. If he runs, he will win.
Perfect multi-tasking strategy ~ tour the country as part of the concert venue, sign-up new voters at concerts, make public speeches and promote policies prior and after the show, sell sell sell…options are limitless.
I fucking told you there’s been a paradigm shift. Celebrities will hold the highest offices. The World Wide Web is just the biggest open source of intelligence the world has ever seen and pizza eating pedos can’t hide from the light of day anymore. Watch what Oprah does from here on out.
Cock and Balls part two.
Guy comes from a lower economic background to be worth $100 mil. and continues to run his business.I would say he knows more about the real world than 90% of the people in Washington. He will win in a landslide if he takes it seriously and studies the issues.
How much time did Obama have in the Senate before running for President?
I want them ‘Tards on TellyVision spittin’ blood when he wins.
Kid Rock would CRUSH in Michigan. Dude speaks the common language.
Well, I’m packin up my game and I’ma head out west
Where real women come equipped wit’ scripts and fake breasts
Find a nest in the hills, chill like flynt
Buy an old drop-top, find a spot to pimp
