Two former pro wrestlers are running for office this year on the kind of conservative and outsider tickets that helped President Trump get elected but with slightly different political styles -- or at least different decibel levels.
“I almost feel bad for the people I’m running against,” Daniel Rodimer, a Republican candidate for the Nevada state Senate, says with the kind of playful bravado that landed him a World Wrestling Entertainment contract in the mid-2000s and a couple of televised events. “I’m going to win. ... Whatever my opponent does, I do three times more. Dude, I am the sign king.”
