Tom Cotton [Tom Cotton \(R\) to Take Arkansas, Mike Rounds \(R\) in South Dakota](/video/Q4KtCj4T/) ### Tom Cotton (R) to Take Arkansas, Mike Rounds (R) in South Dakota --- ## Transcript We don't fight because we hate our enemies, but because we love our country. We love its freedom, and we love that we as Americans are born equal and live free, and no one can boss us around or rule us without our consent. We'd like a commander in chief who speaks of winning wars, and not merely ending wars. We'd like a commander in chief who calls the enemy by its name. And we like politicians who treat our common events are the chief responsibility of the federal government, not just another government program. This isn't much to ask for. But eight years without is more than enough and another four years is unthinkable. And a Trump administration and with a Republican Congress, help is on the way. But my generation is fighting so that our children might one day live in peace. And for that cause, I speak tonight not only to Republicans but to the millions of independents and Democrats who share that dream and who wish to make America safe again. Thank you, and God bless you.
