The next senator from the state of Michigan.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Doesn't he have concerts scheduled throughout 2018? There's no way he's cancelling in exchange for a political career that could destroy his fan base.

He probably thinks he can still go on tour and run for senate at the same time, just like how at one point, Trump was apparently in talks to continue The Apprentice from the White House (though this was back in Fall 2015 when nobody thought he would actually win).

Stabenow, Flake, Heller and McCaskill are endangered species😐

George Pataki thinks Kid Rock is "exactly the kind of candidate" republicans need? Has his head been up his butt since his campaign ended? Is it so hard to see that kid rock will be a trump clone in the senate? How can this not be an endorsement of the trump wing of the party?

Reminder: Pataki is dumb, and thought 2016, over a decade after he left the Governorship of New York as an unpopular failure, was the time to run for President. Even when he was Governor he never overshadowed Giuliani.

Pataki left office as an "unpopular failure" three term dominant governor with an approval rating over 50% when he left off is an "unpopular failure" ?

dude got RIPPED APART by the New York Post, a paper that should be any GOP leaders bag handlers.

Pataki is no Pimp of the Nation.

He wasn't unpopular failure, leaving with a 52% approval rating.

Stabenow is going to win by double digits.

[I’m not Stu]

Kid Rock hasn't even filed yet.

[Santander]

Kid Rock hasn't even filed yet.

He's still in the exploratory committee stage.

[I’m not Stu]

Kid Rock likely loses.

My intuition told me he was not going to run. I felt it in my bones.

Who would've thought Kid Rock would shamelessly use a hypothetical Senate run for publicity!?

[Holmes]

Best part of the thread was how sad it was that krazen was excited that Kid Rock was leading in a crappy poll.

This kind of fake seems devoid of rational motive; why would anyone do this?

Attention.

[Rookie Yinzer]

*sigh* If only Dotard Trump had released a similar statement the night before the first Republican debate.

It's the same motivation Donald Trump had running for President... publicity for his real business. That said, I guess Rock getting booed while Eminem got cheered at the recent event made him realize there was a downside.
