    Don't rednecks have enough representation?

    Given your track record at predicting events, he'll win in a landslide.

    So, where EXACTLY is that thread you claim that I made betting my forum membership?

    Link me to it, so I can prove you WRONG. Thx in advance.

    Kid Rock runs he will be toast vs Stabenow.

    Could get the nomination, maybe (given the thin GOP bench in MI).

    Here you go.

    Gotta admit, I'm not sure how else to interpret Andrew Jackson saying "Any takers on the Trump side that are willing to put their up PF membership against mine? I mean, to hear some of you talk--you think Trump is going to win in a landslide. Time to put up or shut up... Loser leaves the forum." I have my guesses as to how you're going to respond to this, but maybe you'll surprise me.

    EDIT TO ADD: It also looks like Rammstein took you up on your challenge. And he was certainly a long-time, established poster.

    I don't want to stray off the topic of Kid Rock Senate 2018.

    (And everybody at PF is well aware that I never allow myself to be trolled or baited. Nor respond to trollish drivel).

    BUT, as a point of personal privilege, I want to put this matter of a categorical falsehood (meant to sully my impeccable reputation) to rest:

    1) First bit of BS, you said that "Conviction" was the one. FAKE NEWS.

    2) I NEVER was able to even entertain "Rammstein's" offer, since by the time I checked the thread it had been locked as "Flamebait" and that was a clear message from the Mods that the thread was out of line.

    3) Your post (about me ACCEPTING an offer and making a bet) was TOTAL BS/FAKE NEWS.

    (And not only that, BUT your BS was so thick you even cited "Conviction" (as if you were speaking with certainty)).

    You have been completely PWNED on this matter. Your credibility at PF is now less than ZERO.

    ___________

    NOW, back on TOPIC:

    Kid Rock will get beaten badly by Stabenow.

    But, it would be REALLY FUN if he got the GOP nom. :salute:

    So let me see if I have this correct: You're saying that when you put up your PF membership on the line and both Conviction and Rammstein said they'd take your bet, that it didn't really count because the mods locked the thread. See, if your reputation really was as impeccable as you say it is, you wouldn't need to hide behind a mod, or anyone else for that matter - your word that you would put up your membership against someone else's on the bet you made would be enough. You're using the lock as an excuse. And the Fake News mantra is a ridiculous assertion considering the posts are there for all to see.

    They were your own words. Own them. Don't hide from them.

    This is from the OP in question.

    "I will make my decision tomorrow (11/7/16) at 5:00 PM 17:00 (EST)"


    Personally, I didn't know anything about "Rammstein".

    If the thread had remained opened until 11/7/16 at 5:00 PM, when BY MY OWN WORDS was when I said I would make my decision, THEN, maybe I would've accepted "Rammstein's" offer.


    Then again, maybe I would've decided that "Rammstein" didn't meet my criteria.

    Of course, it is MOOT. Because the thread was locked before 11/7/16 (5:00 PM)
    ___________

    I can't help you if you have a problem with reading comprehension.

    But, with each post (proving your lack of reading comprehension) you are digging a bigger hole.

    My advice? Quit while you're behind.

    Anyway, discussing this further is a waste of time. I have refuted your baseless attempts at character assassination (and then some).

    Well, back ON TOPIC:

    Kid Rock would be a great candidate for the GOP in 2018.

    He would LOSE. But, it would be a lot of fun. :salute:

    I'll keep it brief:

    You made a bet. Two people took your bet. Neither of those facts are in dispute. That the thread got locked does not alter the fact that these things happened.

    You're making excuses. End of line.

    And also getting back onto the thread, I'd personally love to see the Undertaker cut a promo for Kid Rock using one of his old themes from KR - I think he used "American Bas@$$". Hey, he's retired, it's not as if he has anything else to do!

    You know the leftness wont like it. A Rocker who isn't afraid to mock them and bring them the dis.

    Already the leftness is panicking with the New Yorker throwing out a hit piece on him.

    Not according to the Democrat Jim Webb. Hence all of his talking about the White and outta sight.

    Although, I'm sure Detroit would at least want to claim they have one.

    It’s Probably Not a Good Idea to Underestimate Kid Rock......

    On the surface, Kid Rock running for Senate against Debbie Stabenow in 2018 looks like a fool’s errand, and it doesn’t get much better beneath the surface. Stabenow, the senior senator from Michigan, holds the advantage of incumbency: She won her office during the 2000 elections and has held it ever since. After eking out a win in 2000, Stabenow was reelected in 2006 and 2012 by comfortable margins of 15 and 20 percent, respectively. Midterm elections all but always swing toward the party that doesn’t hold the presidency, and Stabenow’s Democratic party will not hold the presidency in 2018. Furthermore, the man who currently is president seems to be particularly well-suited to mobilizing voters against him, as various special elections this year across the nation have demonstrated. Donald Trump is a very unpopular president, and it’s all but guaranteed that Kid Rock, who has gone out of his way to align himself with Trump, will be fighting an uphill battle.

    Then again, the very fact that Trump is president at all shows that holding the high ground, though nice, is hardly an insurmountable advantage. Kid Rock is a long shot, but that hardly means he has no shot. As with Trump, name recognition goes a long way. Hundreds of millions of people know who Kid Rock is, and millions of them are Michigan residents eligible and willing to vote for him. As with Trump, an unknown but significant bloc of voters is open to voting for a celebrity who represents himself as bucking the system. However one defines it, the system is in terrible shape, and it’s Trump’s system, but scapegoats for failure still abound, and Congressional Democrats have an approval rating even lower than Trump’s. Kid Rock’s lack of political experience is a selling point no less than a demerit, and his absence of a prior record in office shouldn’t conceal the fact that, as a diamond-selling pop musician, he has a gift for crafting punchy slogans and keeping an audience in thrall. Though he’s fallen from the prominence he commanded in the Y2K period, he still maintains a loyal fan base that’s kept him comfortably afloat in an industry facing dire times.

    As New York’s own Ed Kilgore accurately notes, Rock’s libertarian rhetoric of simplifying law codes, tax codes, and health care has an uncommonly high hat/cattle ratio. But simple messages, delivered frequently and repeated with enthusiasm, help win elections far more than fact-checking and bet-hedging. The Michigan Senate election is Stabenow’s to lose, but if she and her party fail to offer clear policy prescriptions (Medicare for all being an obvious example) of their own, it’s possible, if not quite plausible, that she could lose it.

    Of course, a lot of other things would have to happen to bring Rock into striking distance, but nothing is certain, and the impossible has become a regular occurrence......snip~

    I'd say those in Michigan, and any that want to see the Demos and Repubs lose to him.
