Nevada GOP and Dennis Hof

[Crossless2.0]

Congress is already a seething hive of divorce and remarriage as it is.  A pimp should feel comfy there.

To be clear, he's running for the state Assembly -- not the U.S. Congress.

It's a pity, in a way. Having Hof in DC would be nothing if not entertaining.

I forgot to mention that Hof is one of those people you've all read about: a guy who voted twice for Obama and then jumped the fence and became a Trump supporter. Basically, he's all about sticking his thumb in the eyes of those "respectable types" he disdains. That, more than anything resembling a political principle, is likely what defines his politics. 

And he's rich, so the Nevada (and national) GOP's love of regressive taxation probably appeals to him and overrides some of the more progressive attitudes I've heard him occasionally express. At bottom, he's a hedonist so social libertarianism comes naturally to him, and that can cause people to mistake him for a liberal at first glance.

[Edited to add]: Nevada has more than its fair share of closet -- and not so closet -- racists. One thing I will say in Hof's defense is that I've never had any reason to think he is one of those people. He's not exactly colorblind. It's just that the only color he sees and cares about is green.
