Hey, gotta get his name recognition up. :)

He’s got a lot of good qualifications. He’s just relatively new to the public.

He graduated with honors from Harvard. Joined the military. Served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Returned home, now is married and is expecting a child.

He’s already served in the House of Representatives, now in the Senate.

Just saying. Why not now?

I have no problem at all with Tom Cotton...

We need about 20 or 30 more of him in DC..

My slightly sarcastic post was really about Arkansaw legislation being a tad pre-mature...

He’ll be a good successor to President Ted Cruz.

If God has selected him to lead, we will know it. Remember David and Gideon.

Another conservative running. Let us thank the Lord for this abundance.

Seriously.

I have my preferences but the deeper significance here is who thought we’d see so many fine choices in another election after the Romney and McCain disasters?!?

Cotton is a good man. Let him demonstrate that for ten or fifteen years and then we’ll see.

My thoughts exactly. Put as many good candidates out there as possible. I, too, have my favorites but if every one out there is a Cruz, Cotton, Walker, or other serious conservative, then I’m happy, keeping in mind that not a one of them will be perfect. The ‘worst’ of ours will always be better than the ‘best’ of what the dems have to offer!

The TEA Party grassroots movement has invigorated conservatives of all stripes to make a difference...

The republicans have almost too many choices, which is a great thing as the cream will rise to the top...

Political market forces will made the GOPe less relevant and it has them scared to death...

On the flip side the democrat party must be having nightmares because their political model is based on succession and party loyalty...(just like the communist party)

Their bench is old and worn out and is void of any fresh blood and there is no TEA party type movement to fill their ranks with fresh blood...

I for one is now have a glimmer of hope the country can get back on track and the future does seem brighter...

We just need to get pass the Obama train wreck...

“The guy doesn’t a few good conservative moves and let’s make him President !!!”.....

The demodummies got odumbo elected and all he did was vote “present”. Guess even you could be president if you wanted.

The MSM had a lot more to getting our golfing king elected than his "record"

24/7 of the MSM telling americans Obama being the greatest thing since sliced bread and absolutely no vetting of who and what the man was...

Yesterday, Michael Savage said he supports Cotton for president.

lol.

Cotton, as a Representative, was basically a backbench follow-the-leader moderate.

As a senator of 3 months, he has begun to stand out.

But he still has a long way to go before he is ready to run for the ‘big chair’. We already have an OJT prez who is worse than a bull in a china shop. Cotton is still young enough that he can garner a lot more political experience and create a legislative history with 2024 in mind.

It is going to take a wiley person with significant political experience to be able to even start unraveling the intricacies of the Obama-Jarrett Hydra in the Executive branch.

I like Cotton a great deal but Clinton and Huckster left a mess in Arkansas.
I’d rather see him stay connected just in case the RATS come back.

There is a surreal aspect at this point to the election with more conservative candidates announcing. It’s mostly because I had forgotten what “hope” actually felt like...

Cotton is awesome, but if he is running in 2020, it means that Republicans lost in 2016, and if that happens, by 2020, Republicans will have no chance of winning anything. Texas will be a democrat state by then, Georgia too. All the illegals will be voting, and the fraud will be ubiquitous.

Yup...Though to me it's a toss up between Cruz and Walker...Both bring certain strengths to the table...

I just love to hear them talk about how great this country is and can be again...both give me hope for the future

I'm sick to death of Obama and his minions talking this country down...
