The full-bore attack on Democratic 2nd District Congress candidate Clarke Tucker of Little Rock, almost five months before the election gives you some idea of how seriously Republicans take his challenge of U.S. Rep. French Hill, the Republican banker and Trump defender. UPDATE: Some Tucker supporters turned up today as it happened.
Last night after the U.S. launched airstrikes against chemical weapons storage and research facilities near Damascus and Homs, Tom Cotton released a typically blustery and hawkish statement:
Donald Trump has fired Rex Tillerson as secretary of state for occasional truthiness. He'll be succeeded b CIA Director Mike Pompeo. Republican Sen. Tom Cotton who'd been mentioned as a possible CIA director in such an event, wasn't tapped for the job.
Kati McFarland, whose challenge of U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton's dereliction on health care at a raucous town hall last year drew national attention, asks for a mention about her candidacy for state legislature. Happy to oblige a resister.
William Saletan writes in Slate about Sen. Tom Cotton's dishonesty and the alarming prospect that he has been mentioned as potential director of the CIA. For example, if you think Cotton is going soft on immigration, think again.
