1. To give credit where credit is due, Tom Cotton really played the New York Times like suckers. He got them to valid his ideas as a legitimate part of the discourse and also gets now to play the free speech martyr to political correctness. He's a smart guy.

4. Cotton has some liabilities (he's as charismatic as a trip to the dentist). But he knows how to hit the Trumpian themes and he's better integrated into GOP policy/journalism (which means he won't have the staffing problems Trump has had).

Tom Cotton has always been my great fear of What Comes Next. Trump outlined a path; Cotton knows how to walk it.

D'Annunzio was a far braver man than Trump, though. Trump would never have done Carnaro or the leaflet drops in planes.

That's a really bad take and fails to grasp the known medicority of successful dictators. Hitler's contemporaries found him a buffoon and his reign was disastrous in no small part due to his incompetence. Cotton may be a future threat, but Trump is a dire present one.

Only issue is that Tom Cotton has the charisma of a day old bagel. I doubt he’ll capture the imagination of Trump’s base.

Trump's base wants blood red meat. Cotton is smart enough to understand how to weaponize that against the primary field.
