Sen. has been quietly informing donors and senior Republican Party members of his decision, sources told Politico, with Cotton citing family concerns as his reason not to run. Cotton has two young boys, aged 7 and 5.
The decision may have come as a surprise to some; Cotton has spent the last two years bolstering his brand, criss-crossing the country to introduce himself to voters, while a post-midterm fundraising retreat in Virginia had insiders almost positive that he was set to announce a presidential campaign. “But over the last few weeks, Cotton began cooling on the idea,” Politico reports. “He began calling allies to tell them that he wouldn’t be running, citing the concerns about his family.
There is going to be a battle for Trump’s VP. If inaugurated, Trump will quit in exchange for a pardon from his VP
An none of that networking has helped his personality.
Was anybody hoping he would?
his 'brand' is looking at his polling numbers and then declaring his 'need to spend time with his family' as the reason.
Likely his unethical and immoral life will be under scrutiny, just like Trumps.
He'd lose.
He is angry, sullen, and paranoid
As if he ever had a real chance. The guy is not popular, not a national figure and not even articulate. Oh, but he was an Army Ranger - LOL.
Tom Cotton lied about his military service. He’s trash for that.
He hasn’t bolstered his brand with me.
It’s probably that part about his calling for the military to use force against Americans.
Now who are those 10 people going to vote for TomCottonAR
He finally realized no one likes him
'Criss-crossing, bolstering his brand' he was polling at 0%
It comes as an extreme surprise. He has the personality of a frozen brick wall.
What brand! Are you ppl serious? America knows what a dope this guy is. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
At least a dozen people are disappointed.
It's one thing to worry about skeletons in the closet; it's another to be the skeleton in the closet.
Man With No Charisma and Weak Chin Deemed Crappy By All.
His brand is nasty, charisma-free bore, so probably for the best.
“His brand.” Oh, there should be a man-on-street video asking Black people especially to identify Tom Cotton
good
TC is in a class with guys like Cruz, Rubio, Pompeo. They have the charisma of wet cardboard and will never be POTUS unless someone picks them as a VP then dies. Biden's unlikely election (under very specific circumstances ((he ran against a moron)) has given them false hope.
Introducing himself to voters was probably a tactical error.
Good !
Lol, ok The closeted psychotic liar was generating so much buzz too 🤣
He’s a stiff and a ghoul
Lol. Run for president of what?
This guy has about as good a chance to be President as…..
'Bolstering his brand.' Look at how the US media frames right-wing extremists in American politics, and you'll understand how American democracy is under threat.
I don't get why it should be a surprise, the guy has all the charisma of a mouldy potato.
He has no donors and zero personality.
People are saying he got caught blowing mschlapp and you can’t recover from that.
I like Ted Cruz chances better than Tom Cotton. Never go negative on the Ted Cruz scale….
God must have told him he is not the chosen one.
He finally realized he has the charisma of a garden rake.
Hmm wonder what he did
Republican party has become the party of spineless Trump sycophants blindly enabling his madness, a party shamelessly embracing the Alt-Right/White rage in America, as well as fomenting the QAnon's subculture of craziness and total lunacy. This is NOT who we are as a country.
Tom Cotton is not only hateful...he is EXTREMELY unlikable. What was a surprise is that he ever considered running for president in the first place.
Lol!! Clearing the field? He wasn't even on Trump's radar. 🐮🐮
He's still young.🐮🐮
Yes Tom has an over inflated ego
Has decided to take the easy route and just pay $8/month for the POTUS blue check.
Yeah…we don’t care
The world weeps 🙄
Like anybody wanted him too! TomCottonAR
