Senator Tom Cotton Repeats Fringe Theory of Coronavirus Origins

We must work much harder to get rid of them:
Why there's no Democrat running against Sen. Tom Cotton in Arkansas
Cotton is up for reelection in 2020 and the Democratic Party of Arkansas isn't running anyone against him.
That's not to say it didn't try. The party had a Senate candidate, Joshua Mahony, who also ran unsuccessfully in the state's 3rd Congressional District in 2018. He had spent months touting a run, and had gained the support of state party elites and progressive activists despite losing his House race by more than 30 percentage points.

.... his eye looking a bit down the road, when he can park his ass in the Oval.
Oh God, we will regret that day if he ever becomes president. He would up the Defense department budget up to $4 trillion per year into perpetuity.
Cotton would declare a new war every week.
