Dan Rodimer ran for Congress in Nevada as a suburban family man and lost. Now he's running in Texas

as a gritty cowboy. Critics say it's a bunch of bull.

Dan Rodimer, a New Jersey native and former pro-wrestler, is running for Congress in Texas's 6th Congressional District as a cowboy hat-wearing bull rider.

Rodimer, however, also ran for a congressional seat in Nevada last year as "a small businessman, a family man, living in the suburbs," and lost in November.

So it appears that he's switched tacks.

"Send Big Dan to Congress. I know how to handle Nancy Pelosi and stop her bullsh*t," Rodimer says in his new ad, which features a new, more gravelly voice.

He lost because he had three separate domestic violence 911 calls made on him.

That and he's a crazy-eyed fool.

Sam Seder and his co-host were showing the commercial. It was ridiculous in it's own right. Then they showed the commercial for the same guy running in Nevada. He had no accent in Nevada, but apparently picked one up from living in Texas the last few months.

He thinks Texas Rangers are only a baseball team. That Ladybird is the state bird. And bluebonnets are head wear for women.

He's been running for Congress in other states, and when he loses, he moves to another state. We need a Congressperson who knows Texas, who knows Texans, native or transplant."

You get the idea.

But in a state that has put the likes of Ted Cruz, Louie Gohmert and Dan Patrick in office, there's no telling what will happen...

Desperate Dan. Traveling the congressional circuit. If he finds an open seat in a different state he'll move there and switch to an alternate personality. NJ to Nevada to Texas. Where's he going next?
