    If those guys don't get convicted it wouldn't surprise me to see some of the main characters in the invasion of the Capitol running for office as Republicans.

    what are her qualifications? what is she going to run on? that she was press secretary for a traitor and she co-starred in goonies like 40 years ago?

    She has a really good chance of winning.

    Her father is still quite popular in Arkansas and she is a relatively well known public figure.

    One state of the GOP sure is Arkansas and they give a damn about her lying

    Edit: they don't give a darn about her lying

    They also don't give a damn about their own well being as can be seen by their bottom ranked education system and quality of life statistics and keep on elected the same type of politician.

    States like Arkansas repeatidly shooting themselves in the foot by electing grifters like Sarah Sanders shouldn't surprise anyone.

    The South has improved on social issues like race but they will always be anti government.

    Most casualties of the Civil War didn't own slaves and slavery actually kept poor white people's wages low

    Wasn't really making a comment about race but I'll say a lot of the reasons that the typical Arkansas voter votes against their self-interest is being brainwashed by culture wars rhetoric.

    Now that Rob Portman is retiring in Ohio, Jim Jordan is also going to get a promotion. The crazies just keep moving up in the GOP.

    I'm stunned she's only 38. Legit one of the ugliest women I have ever seen, and even uglier on the inside.

    Apparently in Trump world, being a professional liar makes you leader material. She's gonna win, being a high ranking member of the Trump cult in that state, combined with her fathers name. I'll be shocked if she doesn't.

    I wasn't commenting on race either. They have always been anti federal government no matter the issue

    She's not that bad on the inside. She was the press secretary. Her job was flying the flag. What is she supposed to do?

    Easy now. Blue dog democrats did VERY well in this state until the last couple of election cycles. The governor before Asa was a democrat, plus our next to last democratic POTUS hailed from here; but yes the state is hopelessly lost now. Fumbled the ball on even putting a challenger up against Tom Cotton in 2020.

    Wow I totally forgot about Clinton typing that post. I actually had never been to Arkansas unti November driving through it. I guess its really a border Southern state. Who knows what can happen there.
