Tom Cotton touted as future presidential nominee; poll sees popularity slip in Arkansas

[TexasTowelie]

Year One of the Donald Trump presidency has been good for Arkansas' junior senator, writes Peter Spiliakos of The National Review.

In a piece Monday titled "Tom Cotton, Lindsey Graham and the Future of the GOP," Spiliakos wrote: "Tom Cotton has strengthened his chances of being the Republican presidential nominee someday. He was the most effective Trump surrogate and has earned the 'fighter' reputation that [U.S. Sen. Ted] Cruz wanted so desperately."

A survey by Morning Consult, on the other hand, suggested that Cotton's popularity in Arkansas has eroded slightly.

Questioned between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 49 percent of Arkansans approved of the Dardanelle Republican, 32 percent disapproved and 19 percent were either undecided or wouldn't share their views.

2. Can't stand him. I thought of writing to him and telling him it's

because I've never directly communicated with an American traitor, fascist, white nationalist, KKK member before.

6. I haven't gotten any replies from "it".

I cannot wait to vote against him, I loathe him with my entire soul.

[sinkingfeeling]

7. I have a special email file for his replies. Some are so full of lies I

can hardly control myself. But today, I drove past his local, Springdale, office and flipped him the bird.

8. You spoke for me too with that bird!

Admittedly, I've only emailed "it" twice, but never got a response.

I just RSVP the rapid response protest for Fort Smith from Moveon.org. It's about 90 miles from me, but it's as close as I can get.

4. Jeebus! Don't hold back--tell us what you really think.
