They've been playing his one commercial 10,000 times a day. Other than that I know as much about him as you do.

(6,286 posts)I was trying to be sarcastic about his lack of substance, not your question. Clumsily conveyed on my part. Wouldn't dream of offending my Antelope Canyon buddy.

(8,267 posts)Arkansas leans heavily right. Furthermore, John Bolton ran pro-Cotton political ads multiple times a day. He spent a ton of money to get Cotton in office, and it looks as though it paid off.
One of the oldest guys in our woodcarving group pontificated about knowing John McCain, and working with his father in Arizona. I asked him what had happened to McCain. He said he didn't know. I observed that he made a fundamental mistake choosing Palin as his running partner, and this man said--with no irony--"oh, I thought she was a great running mate; we need a woman in the White House." He went on to grouse about Hillary not being the one we need, because of Benghazi. I asked him to help me understand what DID happen in Benghazi, and he said--again no irony--"Oh, I don't know, really, I just know she messed that up bad."
There are a lot of people like him here in Arkansas.
