The media started promoting him early. I remember whenever he was mentioned he was touted as the Arkansas’ “education” governor. I don’t think during his tenure it ever got much past Mississippi or WV in education ranking.
It was tame compared to the media orgasm by the “journo-listers” who colluded to spin the news and control the narrative to worship their false god, barry soetero aka obama.
LOL, that was a huge move, from 48th to 47th.
