The funniest part?

http://freebeacon.com/natio...

Cotton "hits back" at the whitehouse by posting this video that shows a bunch of politicians either saying they don't know what the "side deals" are, have never heard of any, state that there aren't any or aren't even talking about any deals.

And then he tries to accuse the whitehouse of "deflecting" when they can't even keep a story straight....even though the collective of those clips imply that there is no secret or side deal that anyone knows about or has heard about (and who's to know what "side deals" are those that are being referenced in the clip anyway? The clip itself sure doesn't say).

Weirdly enough Cotton doesn't point out that this attempt of his doesn't really back up his claims that he DOES indeed have information on the "Iran secret deals" that he got from Vienna, in fact if anything, it's like this response itself is a DEFLECTION from his Vienna claims, in the same way one tries to deflect from being unable to answer a question by calling the questioner a "poopy head".

As for that supposed information from Vienna? Still secret or so our Master Spy himself claims. For some reason he won't reveal what those "secret deals" are because somehow it would "damage America" (and if so what's the point of going all the way to get ammunition for opposing the Iran policy when you end up not even being able to use it).

Or maybe he's going to only release this information when he gets paid ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

Well the main reasons why they vote for him I believe is below:

-He says the things that they want to hear. Racism? Check. Xenophobia? Check. Anti-anything Obama? Check.

-He's a billionaire and somehow that means something to them. Credibility through $ it seems.

-He's a "fighter" that doesn't back down. This is absolutely true when we see that he's been lashing out at ANYONE who has ever criticized him, even GoP members like John McCain. And yeah most of his "responses" to them have been along the lines of "I'm right you're not and you're also a poopy head".

Like how he says that it was HE who fired the sponsors who decided not to associate themselves with him after his Mexico remarks, and not THEM who fired HIM. (when it was totally them who did). Somehow this sort of infantile ad hominem goes down well with his base, and comes across as being "strong and not backing down".

-He's one of us. For some reason the people who said this seems to forget that he's a billionaire and, unless they are too, it's going to be a bit difficult to say he's "one of them". Nonetheless I have to agree with this part. Trump thinks the way they do, supports the things they do, acts like they do or like how they think that a "President" should and does things that fly with them.

Xenophobia, Racism, rude and classless ad hominem. Statements with no facts (but accepted as facts), and attacking anyone who criticizes him.

One of them.

-He tells it like it is. Or rather like they want to hear it, as can be seen from above. After all, he was dead wrong about how illegal immigrants "commit most of the crime in America" but hey, that's just a little thing that doesn't matter right?

-Says common sense things. I distinctly remember the supporter who said this alluded to Trump's claim to "build a high wall around America's border with Mexico".

Common sense to the right sure means something different doesn't it?

-Talks the talk well, walks the talk never, but that's ok with them. Still waiting for him to release the results of his "bombshell" investigation into Obama's past which he claimed a few years ago, or for him to explain ANY policy (and he can start with his wall building around Mexico one) that he would adopt.

But hey, all that doesn't matter to his supporters. He says what they want to hear they way they want to hear it (he tells it like it is!).

And that's enough.

So, Sarah . . . how many of the 18th-century European political historians have you read?

Cotton and Trump need to get together; between Cotton's secret information and Trump's secret plans, they should be able to cook up some super-secret positions, policies, and principles. They will be classy, and yooge, and really s-m-r-t and everybody should vote for Trump, so we can find out what they are.

Awww, we all do. Heck, we'd all have (gay-)married you, but nobody knew that the key to your heart was web skillz.

If they were stupid enough to nominate the Donald (they aren't), you'd see the highest Democratic voter turnout in a century. And a lot of Republicans would stay home out of disgust.

25% of GOPpers, i.e., the teabagger contingent. They're a force in the primaries, but - aside from being a source of brain-dead congressdolts - they're a sideshow in the national elections.

Too bad they can't just "withdraw" an article, the way science journals do with an official "nope, wrong - never mind."

Dems should copy the Republicans' idiotic habit of running business tycoons for the office of President? Has MoDo been raiding Lady Nooningtonwickerhamshire's liquor cabinet?
