The guy is a clown, but reflective of the politics of the moment. Losers like him are what you get when politics is as nasty and vicious as it is today. Who in their right mind would want to do that? He will probably be in Congress for decades, accomplish little, retire with a decent pension and a gig on K street.
Maybe Let's Run can convince Seth DeMoor to move to New York and go on a different kind of run. Given how popular that thread is here, he'd have lots of donors and volunteers. A DeMoor Santos election day is the politics we all (but especially the Let's Run message board) deserve.

I gotta say, i CANNOT WAIT for the series and books that come out about this bozo. it's gonna be amazing
One thing I really want to hear more about is this supposed male fiance - who is he? does he exist? why haven't we heard or seen anything of him at all? Santos also just recently finalized a divorce with a WOMAN last year, wtf? I keep having the feeling that him being gay is yet another weird lie for attention and notoriety.
especially loving this story that his boyfrond supposedly lost his job as a pharmacist because of a NYT article published pictures of them - clearly another ridiculous lie
All politicians lie to get elected and to stay in power. Politics is about control of the flow of money, and is proven to be extremely lucrative. That anyone would invest their time and money into supporting the election of any Politician, reveals the complete lack of understanding of the Washington hustle. Unless you are a big donor with significant ROI expectations, you the voter, are being played for a fool.
The republican party knew all of this before he was elected.
Not saying it's right if what you say is true, but do you think this never happens with the democrats? Do you believe they didn't know the baggage related to Hunter prior to Ol' Joe getting elected? Do you think they didn't know about AOC's ties? It's easy to only see out of the one lens. Both parties are corrupt. Enormously corrupt!

Biden went through a long primary process. He was certainly not the only choice for Democrats. Democratic voters knew about his baggage but still wanted him figuring he's the best choice to defeat Trump.
Her constituents knew what they were getting when they elected AOC- they got what they deserve, seem pleased, and have reelected her handily.
Santos wasn't vetted properly by his party and they know it which is why the outrage is coming from Republican leadership in his area.
This is what the Republicans have created, a world where alternative facts are code for complete and utter deception, and many of their supporters are either too stupid or apathetic to care.
You forgot the third explanation. The compulsion to own the libs is so strong, that they put up with this clown show regardless of how humiliating it gets for them. American politics over the decade or so has centred around whether the libs get owned or not. Very sad state of affairs
Some of the lies he is accused of: Claiming to be part black. Claiming he's not jewish but he is jew-ish. Was on a champion volleyball team at a university he never went to. Supposedly worked for Goldman Sachs. The funniest one is claiming he was an actor on Hannah Montana. He also claimed he is was never a drag queen but was just having fun one night.
