Kid Rock (Not) Running for Michigan Senate Seat

[Mike Thick]

Don't be surprised if he does well.....Michigan voted for Trump, what's so different here?

This depends on how you define "well," but Stabenow is a fairly entrenched incumbent, and Kid Rock arguably doesn't have the same universally known, larger-than-life, and somewhat leadership-oriented public image that Trump had.

Of course, we'll just have to see how this goes over the course of the campaign, but I'm not anticipating a close race.

Kid Rock's chances of winning Michigan are slim to none. Michigan isn't a Republican state, nor even a particularly purple state. Voter turnout was down in 2016, especially among African Americans, in Michigan, but also among low-income White voters who opted to abstain or vote third party instead of vote for Clinton. In 2012, Stabenow defeated a bigoted GOP rival quite decisively. Kid Rock is just a joke.

But maybe Trump can campaign for him. You know, do a tour through Michigan, maybe rock out together about "bad hombres" and grabbing women by the pu**y.

Of course there are excuses for Hillary losing.

How are these excuses? They're literally just a list of the changes in voter demographics that shifted it from a sizable Obama win to a very narrow Trump win.

Consider, folks, that a primary between Ted Nugent and Kid Rock is a serious possibility

I think he has a sex tape.

The tape is of Kid Rock and Creed singer Scott Stapp.
