will be an immediate red flag. Everyone knows that name now and there are not too many notorious people surnamed Rittenhouse.

the first thing I would think if I were a prospective employer is "who is he going to shoot if he gets in an argument?".

I agree with Takket's post about RW politicians using him while he is the RW media's darling then discarding him.
