AR/GA/ID/KY/ND/OR/PA Primary Election Day Thread

Why didn't anyone challenge Cotton?

He is pro amnesty. He keeps changing his position. His position 12 months ago was probably the same as Cantor or Boehner today.

He is good on most issues.

He only won the 2010 with 44% because his opponent was endorsed by Eric Cantor (young guns) and McPalin. 50% in the general in the 2010 election.

If his opponent is endorsed by Cantor, I already like him!

The immigration debate starts near the end around 45 minutes.

Raul Labrador says we need to solve immigration to get the hispanic vote.

Raul Labrador has been going between the House Judiciary, Luis Gutierrez and all these different groups trying to pass some sort of reform.

Steve King asks where the Ron Paul voters were, where were the millions of conservatives who stayed at home.
Labrador on hispanic voters: "They don't want higher taxes". "They agree with us on social issues". "They agree with us on fiscal issues."

If the majority of Hispanic voters want lower taxes and abortion banned why did California vote for higher taxes and why about the abortion ban in NM?

Some of the stuff he said is laughable.

Republican Rep. Raul Labrador on Thursday offered a potential immigration deal to the White House, saying the GOP would agree to loosen penalties on illegal immigrants if President Obama would agree to increase visas for foreigners who work in high-tech fields.

The Democrat in 2010 hit Labrador on immigration keeping him to 50%. Mike Simpson is being hit on amnesty. You have to use amnesty if you want to oust people like Bennett, Chris Cannon, Jim Kolbe (resigned), Murkowski, Lugar and others.

He's a war hero and is good on fiscal issues.

And he (Tom Cotton) is also against amnesty.

On the other hand, he is bad on foreign policy and (Bill of) rights. He's also friendly with Bill Kristol and other neoconservatives, which brings into question all of his positions.

First primary I didnt vote in many years. In most cases there was literally no one to vote for. Nearly every office was the incumbent running unopposed.
