I can't imagine someone as allergic to kowtowing to mass popularity as Cobain becoming a politician whose job is to do just that at the expense of all personal dignity. That's Cobain In Name Only.
Of the grunge icons, I could rather imagine Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam as a potential POTUS. Cobain would be the popular activist with many enthusiastic ground support, who's doing well on state level, but who'd be considered too extreme/difficult for a candidacy by the party machinery. Vedder would deliver a similar message, but with a more populist streak acceptable to the wider masses.
Not sure Mustaine is a Republican. Of course, I havent heard any of his recent opinions, but he was pretty critical of the George W Bush administration (see the album cover for "The System has Failed" or the line about the Patriot Act in the song "Endgame") and he wasnt a big fan of Bush 1 either ("Foreclosure of a Dream"). Of course, he's also criticized the Democrats as well, but I think he's more of a guy who doesnt care for either party. Come to think of it, Mustaine and Blackie Lawless (who's also criticized both parties) could be an interesting Independent ticket.
John Hall, probably best known for being the lead singer of 1970s one-hit-wonder Orleans (with this infamous album cover https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waking_and_Dreaming ) served as a congressman from New York from 2007-2011.
There's always Frank Zappa, who was an interesting card. A very principled fiscally conservative that criticized against the War on Drugs, SDI, the religious right, and fought hard against censorship could easily find in with the libertarian Republican movement.
