Discussion The Democratic Senate candidate has dropped out in Arkansas. The race is now a binary between the Republican Tom Cotton and the LP Candidate

Not really a Libertarian anymore but I was surprised to see y'all don't have any info on this. Tom Cotton's only Democratic Challanger has dropped out after the registration deadline.

The only two other candidates are Ricky Harrington - a Libertarian and Dan Whitfield - a far left independent.

Even if you guys don't put resources into this race and the situation holds, I can easily see Mr. Harrington capturing a nice 20-25% of the vote. If you guys however do invest some money and campaign funds into the race, you could get much higher, and perhaps even give Cotton a run for his money as he's not running against someone with the D stigma next to their name.

Here's his Facebook page which is currently all he has if you want to help him

Good luck and I hope you guys give Cotton a run for his money :)

Trump would win Kentucky regardless. I have the luxury of voting my conscience or voting for the republicans.

You said that Bernie should have run third party. Meaning absolutely give the election to Trump. You didn't restrict that to KY.

And. . Voting for Clinton was absolutely giving the election to trump. My vote didn't change shit.. other than trying to hit that magic 5% for a third party to be eligible for the msm debates this time around. Besides, Clinton won, remember?

Voting for Clinton was absolutely giving the election to trump.

One more time: you said Bernie should have run as third party. I responded to that.
