Well, that’s one way to grab the bull by the horns.

A New Jersey native’s run for Texas’ 6th Congressional District has proven so unconvincing that even Trump loyalist Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) couldn’t get behind the cowboy hat-wearing candidate’s charade.

A New Jersey native’s run for Texas’ 6th Congressional District has proven so unconvincing that even Trump loyalist Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) couldn’t get behind the cowboy hat-wearing candidate’s charade.

Anyone remember the old Pace picante sauce ads?

Fake Texan makes fake video of fake bull ride.
We already have enough phonies in congress.

Uh oh, Matt doesn’t want any competition in being a phony or providing bullshit.

“We already have enough phonies in congress.

Texans, please send this Nevada man back to his true home state (where he lost two prior elections).”

Gotta give Matt Gaetz chutzpah points. Didn’t he float the idea of moving to Alabama to run for an open Senate seat?

What’s Gaetz’s problem? Big Dan sounds like the ideal Republican.

”…information of Rodimer’s past resurfaced during his campaign last year…such as old arrest records during his time in college and law school in Florida.”

Oh, he’s a Republican all right!

I’m sure he can articulate all the top GQP policy prescriptions as well as anyone, but He’s going to have one of the same major problems that Sarah Palin had. It’s not as if the GQP is sitting upon a treasure chest of brilliant ideas, which only sound stupid when spoken in Sarah Palin’s fake, mama bear persona or Big Dan’s phony cow pie accent.

But he stole someone’s gun…that’s a dealbreaker!

Performance art (term used loosely) and performance video content is it. That’s all Republicans have any more. Not one shred of substance.

Hey Big Dan, with all your complaints about commies, don’t expect any $$$ from Putin.

Texas shouldn’t import its congressmen.

But we’re good with senators made in Canada.

Won’t being for Florida pose a problem for that run.
