A very important fact about both Tom Cotton and David Perdue..

Yes...very important...a fact about the Trump spokesmen

both of these liars were elected in 2014, and neither of them is up for re-election in 2018


Therefore, this will not be an issue for them in November's election because both of their terms expire in 2020. That is when they are up for reelection....2020.. two and 2/3 years away..

1. I can't imagine why anyone would toss their self respect away for Donald Trump.

Assuming, of course, they had some to begin with.

2. I don't think they care about Trump, more likely they are protecting their own self interests. nt

3. Their allegence to their "leader", is more important than "self respect."

Both believe they have plenty of time to try to regain connection to their "base"

I know that's disgusting but if you want to understand crazy you have to throw away all logic and reason. They hate 'liberal," and they are racists. They crave power to impose their religion and minority, extremist views on the rest of us.

What do they have to lose by lying for the miserable #fakepresident? It's the same tactic used by Putin: disrupt and sow discord and discontent. Radicals do this.

I think their handlers,lobbyists and money men tell them to do it... They and their family will be taken care of so why worry..

8. My point exactly..No matter what they say about current the current situation

It is very unlikely that what they say today in January 2018 will be brought up in November of 2020. Perhaps, maybe their over all support of Trump could be an issue in 2020, but that is a long way off. Plenty of time to lie about whatever they want to lie about. Tom Cotton is from Arkansas, David Perdue is from Georgia Looks pretty safe for both of them....even 32 months into the future.
