Ok, that makes sense
It doesn’t make sense to me.
For years we are to look at Rand Paul at the top and Cruz way down, and the reason given is that the people seeing the list, instead of taking from it the impression that we all know they will, the claim is that we will all look at it and see who is coming up for reelection in a few years.
Surely cotton can come up with a more useful listing order for conservatives and FR.
