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.

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.
