Tom Cotton Endorses Bernie Sanders For The Democratic Nomination

http://www.aetn.org/programs/arkansasweek/january_1,_2016

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton from Arkansas is feeling the Bern, joking that he strongly supports Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ candidacy for the Democratic nomination.

“I, for many months, I’ve been strongly in favor of Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary,” Cotten said in a year-end interview on Arkansas Week: Special Edition that aired this week and was taped in December.

On the Republican side, Cotton said he doesn’t have any plans to endorse.

Since Cotton is bought and paid for by the Kochs, then I would almost guess some people some where are scared to death of the thought of Trump or Carson or Cruze or any of them becoming president.

same to the Democratic Party.

Now the weird thing is that the old money people probably want Bernie in office and not someone beholding to Wall Street. They took such a cleaning in 2008 and probably don't want to again. But who knows at this time. This story hasn't made it far in the new cycle yet.

Cotton has some of the same connections to the Arkansas Ol' Boy network that Bill and Hillary did. Cotton's indirect endorsement of Bernie could just as well be reverse psychology-- "If a nutcase like Cotton is endorsing Bernie, then I'm supporting Hillary!"
