Tom Cotton leans toward the Ryan side of the GOP. Likes to stand upon principles when there are no risks involved. Would not characterize him as a RINO but he can lean that way at times.
Even if this was his idea, Reagan said you can get a lot of things done if you dont care who gets the credit. This is why POTUS is always gracious when speaking of others when doing the art of the deal!
No. There was only one senator who opposed the prison reform bill and that was Cotton. You can be sure Ryan would not have.
Typical of Rinos, vote R on most issues, but when something essential comes up, vote with the Ds. Sad that they fool so many. That is the problem with Conservative score card sites. They look good on the surface.
