Look, we get that this Kid Rock "Senate campaign" is probably just a marketing stunt.

He confirmed the website--not his campaign--was real, and it basically just links to a bunch of Warner Bros. merch.

But it doesn't matter. Mark my words: Robert James Ritchie, aka Kid Rock, will become a U.S. senator, then president of the United States.

It's inevitable, because we pretty much already elected Kid Rock president. I mean, the fact the following quote isn't attributable to Kid Rock just blows my mind.

"Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the p*ssy. You can do anything."

Our current president said that during the campaign, and America was like, "Sure, this guy seems good." The writing is on the wall.

The good news? Kid Rock hasn't filed with the FEC yet. He'd probably have to do it within the next 15 days, according to Bernie Sanders' former digital fundraising director.

This is almost certainly a marketing ploy for his new album due out "late summer/early fall," according to Billboard.

But that doesn't mean U.S. voters wouldn't elect him to office. Bawitdaba, American dream. Bawitdaba.
