Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) had a hard time coming up with a reason why he supports presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump when pressed by Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press” on Sunday morning.
Cotton, a leading proponent of an aggressive neoconservative foreign policy, was asked by Todd whether he is closer in foreign policy terms to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton than Trump, who, while promoting a bombastic and confrontational foreign policy for the United States, has also called for the country to pull back from some international conflicts and commitments. Cotton had a hard time mustering up an answer.Paul Ryan has had similar trouble trying to come up with something that wasn't too ridiculous when asked about his endorsement for Trump.
So these guys have had a hard time finding good answers for why they support a Trump candidacy, but not the candidate's policy positions. Not a lot that's brand new in that - this shit can often come down to My Team vs Your Team, and this Trump thing just takes it out the Logical Extreme in a bigger hurry than most.
What really intrigues me is - how come two of the shiniest of the GOP's shiny new stars bear such an uncanny resemblance to Mr Bean with a beard?
