Winning option:No In February 2016, Ted Nugent praised Ted Cruz, stating "My dream would be if Ted Cruz became president tonight. I really admire Ted Cruz, on many levels."

Nugent later endorsed Donald Trump, and during the last week of the U.S. presidential election campaign performed at a number of Trump rallies in Michigan, including Trump's final campaign rally in Grand Rapids.

Predictions

Background

He has referred to Obama as a “piece of s--t” and members of his administration as “criminals,” and implored the president to “suck on my machine gun.” The “dead or in jail” comment was notable mostly for prompting a visit by the Secret Service.

Five decades on, Nugent has perfected the alchemy of infamy, turning it into a relevance that has long outlasted the usual half-life of a rock star. He is everywhere — Piers Morgan, Anderson Cooper, Fox, CBS — as a lead spokesman for the NRA in the middle of the most intense gun-control debate in a generation.

“Hi, I’m Ted Nugent. I have nine children from seven women, and I’m running for president.” Nugent takes a sip of water, having delivered his potential slogan. “Yeah, I’m thinking about it.”

Now, the constant beseeching from fans and followers has Nugent eyeing a run for the Republican nomination, the party he aligns with as the lesser of two feebles. But a campaign would only boost the brand. And it would give Nugent his biggest microphone ever to do what he does best: sound off. About everything.
