Guarantee it. Republicans don't want another George W Bush or John McCain. They want a Barry Goldwater or a George Wallace type.

Cotton fits the bill perfectly

Of course he doesn't say anything about addressing the issues.

Just like he, a former Army captain and attorney, realizes that the words "no quarter" have a very precise meaning and chose to use them anyway with regard to putting down riots.

this is the main issue with those quick to demand war and troops. Its like if a bag of sugar continuously attracted ants and someone in charge says "just kill the ants"...The logical next question is "well, ok, but what do you propose we do after the ants are gone? Move the sugar?", and most of the time they don't have an answer. "look, i can't be bothered right now, just kill the ants and we'll see"....what they fail to realize is the ants will never go away.

DISCLAIMER: I am not calling protesters ants, it is merely an example.

He equates the dispersal of anti-integration belligerents to the George Floyd protests. Funnily enough, the argument he's making are identical to what many users here on CE make: equating the exceptional looting and violence to the massive peaceful protests as an excuse for the army to march in and fire upon people until they're too scared to leave their apartments. Make no mistake, Tom Cotton feels no sympathy for the protests, he feels no sympathy for black lives. He only cares about maintaining the status quo.

If I were the governor of one of the states these riots are taking place the national guard would have been mobilized after the first night of rioting.

no more nyt the world has moved past a need for the NYT

or when they allowed a white nationalist to publish an anti-immigrant article

the most prestigious paper in the world everyone

newspapers deserve to die really

He's exactly what Republicans want in a leader
Him or Josh Hawley, who is almost as bad but less obviously fashy, which would appeal more to what's left of the business wing.
In any case, the next Republican president is bound to be about as evil as Trump, the problem is that there's almost no way they could be less competent or more blindingly unfit than Trump.

Hey it's about the debate and exchange of ideas.

If you have a rebuttal, you're very free to send it to the New York Times Opinion page for rejection. /s

This is whats scary. People for some reason think Trump is the worst there will be. All you have to do is find someone even slightly more competent who is just as evil as him and its all over for democracy in America

The solution here is to

and stay with me here

is to completely destroy the Republican Party so it has no chance of attaining power ever again

do to the national GOP as the Dems did to the California GOP

They publish op eds from Putin and the Chinese Government, but I guess saying we should stop rioting and looting and hurting people is where we draw the line.

It's pretty telling that all he talks about is the rioting and not the peaceful protests or any actual change.

It's also really, really ironic to me that all Republicans are the "party of small government" yet really, really want to live in a police state.

Not at all. The purpose of the government is to protect our Natural Rights, this is the basics of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

What's he trying to say here? That NYT wrote the op-ed and Cotton simply had to approve it like it was some kind of a signing of a contract?

That the editorial board reached out to Cotton (who had tweeted the idea of sending in the military) to ask him to write an essay on the subject.
