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

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.

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.
