“Are you scared?” – asks, Kid Rock, near the end of his “Greatest Show On Earth” video.
It’s one of the two that the country-rock former rap star has released since floating that he will run for the U.S. Senate in his home state of Michigan. The star’s second home is a camo multi-sectional manufactured home, see that recent report and video, linked here.
If Kid Rock runs for the U.S. Senate, “he’ll win,” said Tom Shillue, on Fox Business’ Mornings with Maria.
Democrat celebrities “don’t have the pulse of the people,” says Shillue, “but Kid Rock? I’m mean, He’s America.”
Kid Rock, like President Donald J. Trump, has the advantage of celebrity – opined Shillue.
“The currency is celebrity. You need money to get into politics…The celebrities cut out the middle man.”

Kid Rock, who’s real name is Robert James Richie, put up the website KidRockforSenate.com after he found out his name was being thrown around for the 2018 run for Senate. What he modestly says he didn’t expect was the support received.
He’d be running against Democratic Senator, Debbie Stabenow.
“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 bulls**t,” the singer said.
While some doubt the run is real, others say it’s in-your-face obvious, the same as Kid Rock himself is.
Either way, for now he’s only officially planning to create a non-profit organization that would encourage people to register to vote.
“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.”
“During this time while exploring my candidacy for U.S. Senate, I am creating a 501©(4)— a nonprofit organization for the promotion of voter registration. Not only can I raise money for this critical cause, but I can help get people registered to vote at my shows,” Kid Rock said in an announcement.
Former New York Governor George Pataki called Kid Rock “exactly the kind of candidate the GOP needs right now.”
Senator Elizabeth Warren was also quoted in an interview as stating, “Well, maybe this is all a joke — but we all thought Donald Trump was joking when he rode down the escalator at Trump Tower and announced his campaign, too. And sure, maybe this is just a marketing gimmick for a new album or tour — but we all thought Donald Trump was just promoting his reality TV show, too.”
Rock pushed back on Warren’s comments, which may also be a sign of what’s to come for Democrats.
The Daily Business News recently featured Kid Rock’s manufactured homes-image laced other music video, see that report, linked here.
“We will be scheduling a press conference in the next 6 weeks or so to address this issue amongst others, and if I decide to throw my hat in the ring for US Senate, believe me…it’s game on motherf—kers.” — Kid Rock # #
