My name is Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid
Kid Rock!!

I am going to run for US Senator representing MI in '18!!

or, not:

Considering that MI is quickly becoming as dumb, poor, and red as any regressive xtian Deep-South state, I would guess that Mr. Ritchey could win quite handily over the incumbent Ms. Stabenow in the '18 midterms...if he decides to declare his candidacy.

Since we Murkins also seem to be hell-bent upon becoming some kind of surreal hybrid Oligarch-Theocrat-Authoritarian Kakistocracy, with perhaps a 21st century Axis powers alliance with Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and maybe even China, the remainder of this decade should be quite interesting, albeit likely tumultuous.
 
no way it he wins.

Trump could at least play the role of "successful businessman" to dumb people. "Well he was a successful business man, and I have no fucking idea how things work, so his claim that business success = political success holds water with me. He could totally make Mexico pay for the wall."

You still hurt aren't you? Lol. I'm pretty sure people saw the witch he was running against..

LOL Mitch do you still stand by your earlier claim that Trump did more in his first 20 days then Obama did in 8 years?

Yeah. Bernie woulda won.

such a missed opportunity...

But I'm not hurt as much as I am disappointed and worried for the future.
 
Kid Rock's official senate campaign website (he actually set this up!) calls himself the "pimp of the nation"

some guy on twitter pointed out that if elected, he's be the first senator to have been featured in a sex tape with Creed singer Scott Stapp (another god-awful musician).

how insane is it that he was a lousy musician, is a shitty person, and would be a shitty senator -no question about that - but still has a non-zero chance of beating a flawed but more-or-less decent, experienced senator?
 
Before this I never knew the guy's actual name.

As long as Donald Trump has been in the public eye he dressed like and looked like and sometimes talked like someone who was a political candidate.

Kid Rock is even more of a stretch than Donald Trump was.

yeah good point... the optics matter a lot. at least the public was used to seeing Trump in a suit everyday. Or his fat-old-guy golf gear.

lots of voters see those status/class indicators and robotically think to themselves: "He looks like someone who should boss me around. I will vote him for leader."

Kid Rock's scraggly, white trash "I'm a multi-millionaire son of a multi-millionaire, but I'm a rapper/rocker/country boy (whatever sells right now) just like you, brother" look will only confuse people.

plus he was in a sex tape with Scott Stapp.
 
I still trying to find anything Obama did, at all.

He "took the Dow" from 6500 to 19000. I didn't know sitting Presidents got credit for the stock market until a few weeks ago. Turns out Obama is as badass as you can get.

When Obama does it, it's just inflation. When Trump does it, it's because 'the business' has confidence in Trump. :nod:

Maybe they get credit but they shouldn't, Obama to 19000 or Trump to 20000 plus. And even if they did it's not much of a comparison, one had 8 years the other has had 6 months. And going from 6 to 19 and going from 19 to 20 isn't a fair comparison either.. Either way neither guy had anything to with it.

No President before Trump has ever taken credit for the stock market because it implies, logically, that you'd also then take the blame for a decline. God knows Trump would blame others if that were the case and the claim that Trump has done really anything yet is false. He can sign orders that accomplish nothing and talk all he wants about healthcare reform and tax cuts, but Obama guided the country and economy out of a generational recession that teetered on being a full Depression and now Donny -- like he's done his entire life -- is sitting on 3rd acting like he hit a Triple.

Kid Rock's campaign slogan should be, "I Can Smell A Pig From A Mile Away!"

Also, he should have old man style hats like Trump that say, "I am the Bullgod."
 
Anyone willing to bet there is a former DSF poster with a Kid Rock for US Senate sign in his lawn already?

I agree with the idea that this is a dumb metric, but if we want to compare apples to apples, from inauguration to July 7th of his 1st term, the DJIA went up 2.7% under Obama and 2.1% under Trump.

Why July 7th? Because I meant to type 17th and didn't and I'm not doing it again.
