If so, did ya vote for Jake? I did, knowing he’ll lose but I hate political commercials like the ‘fake Jake’ ads.

Didn’t team Jake lie about his service record?

The only race that matters to me is seeing French Hill get primaried.

He may have I don’t know - last I saw there was a ginormous gap between Boozman and the rest so my vote won’t matter anyway.

Not a French fan? I don’t personally know him but I know folks that know and like him or pretty much like him.

I really don’t like politics and am skeptical of them all to be honest.

Yeah, I'm not a French Hill fan. Not a fan of Tim Griffin, either.

Boozman...I have no preference one way or the other. Cotton is really just a soundbite politician.

However, I'll hold my nose amd vote for any of them as long as they aren't Democrats.

I didn’t notice but I did notice there was another Bequette running for something else too.

Just read some info on Jake and he seems rather sleezy, while the writer was quite ignorant and sleezy himself.

I would assume that completing Ranger school does not make you a "Ranger", just like working aircraft maintenance in AFSOC doesn't make me "spec ops".

I am generally curious if he was medically retired. If not, that's a real concern with him claiming to be retired.

I started following Jake when he was getting out the NFL then joined the Army, I thought to myself then that was nothing more than a career ambition move.

I would bet my bottom dollar that he turns into a Crenshaw beating S&P by the end of his second term.

S&P

The "Ranger" argument is so bad.

If dude went to Ranger School... Yes, he is a Rnager, albeit a tabbed Ranger and not part of the 75th.. But whatever.

Now, should Bequette have be going out and touting that he was some combat "Ranger" badass like both he and Tom Cotton did? Probably not, but I guess He was trying to get some steam as an underdog in the race, and he figured the whole Army vet thing would get him votes like it's 2009 or something.

My biggest issue with Bequette is that he came off like an overrehearsed creep who had nothing other to say other than he played football and Boozman was a gutless RINO (which he kind of is).

I guess the Trump endorsement was really too much to overcome, but I still have absolutely no clue how Boozman beat both Bequette and Jan Morgan's totals combined.

I don't trust any of them except Morgan. She has more balls than anyone running in any of the races this cycle.

Sarah Huckabee may be second, but I did not like her dad as governor and I know she will lean on him a lot once she's in office, which kind of scares me. But who knows, she probably won't be a corrupt secret society Bush family lackey whose kids are all drug addicts like Asa. Maybe she can also get the state Republicans to stop being scared of their own shadow when they have a supermajority in the legislature and can pass anything they want to combat the Marxists.

I guess we will see.

I’m fine with Boozman’s voting record. I’d really rather not have another nutcase like Morgan anywhere near representing Arkansas. frick French Hill.

Dems did it through tech I would assume.
Republicans did it through Boeing, Raytheon, etc…

Boeing dipped super hard during the pandemic.

If they sold in February when they were first told about the incoming pandemic (many did) and rebought it in March 16 at the low they could have bought 3x the stock.

Eh, I wouldn't go that far. If one of our Security Forces guys in the Air Force goes through Ranger school, he's still just an SP that went through Ranger school, not a Ranger.

If I decided to attend the Sergeant Major Academy, that doesn't make me a Sergeant Major, I'm still a Senior Master Sergeant.

75th Ranger Regiment has their say

Originally, all I was talking about was Jake's dates of service. Allegedly, his team campaigned using some dates that he was supposed to have been active and apparently he was out.

I don't know if he was or wasn't, but there were claims that his team was stretching the truth.
