Bill Otis likes Tom Cotton as a Tangerine running mate, for all the reasons (ironically) I do. [It is perfect, in its symmetry, indeed.]
Because he is a harder far right / anti-freedom choice, even more so, than Trump, every bit as racist as Trump and because… he narrows, rather than broadens, the ticket’s appeal, nation-wide. [Recall also that the video-tape of Cotton raising a power-fist, at the Capitol steps, on the morning of 01.06.21 will be run non-stop / 24 / 7 / 365 in Biden campaign ads, from now to November, then — what an “only the finest people” guy!]
I love it! A guaranteed… loss, in November. [Of course, picking Cotton over say Rudy Giuliani avoids having a second felon on the ticket, whilst ticking all the same racism and isolationist boxes — so I suppose it is a marginal improvement from Rudy to Tom.]
But unless Tangerine finds a Black man (and he’s too afraid of Tim Scott, BTW!) willing to hold his nose, and join him, or a woman (preferably of color)… his base is just too narrow to stand a chance in the general.
And we know he cannot stand strong women — or even a strong second. So… I love Bill’s analysis (but for all the “wrong” reasons!) — it gets me the win, for Democrats, in November!
Thanks, man!
