1. he is AWESOME!

[tblue37]

2. Wow!

[blue neen]

3. Wow!

Impressive candidate!

[Baitball Blogger]

4. I wish I could move there to vote for him.

[hlthe2b]

5. Will AR vote for such a sane, highly educated, competent candidate?

Or is the highly uneducated daughter of a similarly ignorant former Governor--both well trained only in the "art" of RW lies, obfuscation, arrogance, and Trumpist conspiracy theory--impossible to beat?

[WhiteTara]

68. I think he has a shot at winning

if the Rs don't completely destroy voting rights. I read Marc Elias is going to work on our laws and with Chris Jones as candidate, we have a chance and he will pull lots of down ticket candidates along with him. Of course, this is all dependent on how suppressed the election is.

[AKwannabe]

88. They voted for Bill Clinton after all!

Hope this better than a good shot.

[TomSlick]

78. Not a prayer. There are two strikes against him - educated and black.

Sarah Smoky Eyes will win at a walk.

I do appreciate the attempt of a competent Democrat running.

[grantcart]

85. I believe you are correct.

Unfortunately I don't think Democrats understand the fundamental difference between Democrat and Republican psychology in supporting a candidate at ground level.

Democrats vote for candidates like Mr. Jones because they want to be proud of their state and get the best policies.

Your average Republican voter looks at a guy like Mr. Jones and see a reminder of how much they have f**ked up their life. Bad job, ruined marriages, can't pay the bills and then this super performer runs reminding them what losers they are. Like the average Confederate soldier who got no benefit from slavery but could not bear the possibility that there would be free blacks doing better than they.

They will see a guy who has better book leaning, better religious habits and a better educated wife and kids.

Yesterday I needed to borrow a tool and there was a worker who has been working on the house across the street that I had talked with before the inauguration. He looked beat down, only had a few teeth left but was friendly. We live in a deeply blue neighborhood and didn't want him to lose work so I didn't respond to his worry about Biden taking over.

Yesterday I asked him if he had the wrench I needed and he cheerfully came over and helped for a minute. I wondered how he could eat food with so few teeth.

I looked at his license plate on his truck and it was Arkansas. I could see him voting for Clinton because he was a rascal and could se himself at the same or even higher moral level as Bill. I am afraid when he looks at Jones he will see someone who has succeeded 100 times better in 100 different ways than he did and will believe any hair brained rumor rather than vote for him.

[WhiteTara]

90. We have a very large minority population

and if we can galvanize them with voter registration, he could win because he is black and Sarah 3 names is not liked, even among republicons here.

[yellowdogintexas]

92. Stacey Abrams, Arkansas needs you !

[TomSlick]

106. YES, please!

[Diraven]

110. Only half the minority percentage as Georgia

But the white people here are just as racist

[msfiddlestix]

84. How Exceedingly Spot On! Is it even possible for AR to elect someone competent, educated

and sane? Not if Tom Cotton backers will have anything to say about it, I suspect. Yes, and of course the Huckabee evangelical hucksters will be tripling down on all fronts.

xingfingers just the same....

[soldierant]

108. I had the same sinking feeling.

It does make it very clear how vital voting rights are. Because if they damage those enough , a superstar in a state fileed - not, not filled, but with a plurality - of garbage voters does not stand a chance.

Please, God, let me be wrong!

[Aviation Pro]

6. Hockaloogie

Is going to have her hands full trying to defend her fucking lies.

[brush]

12. I want to see the debates. IMO she's out of her league against him.

[nolabear]

43. Are they going to debate? Because I'll be all over that!

[PatSeg]

81. Lying isn't generally a disqualifier

for a republican candidate, but she has no personality and is truly unlikable.

[mahina]

102. Now be nice. It's Sarah Slanders.

But I have a feeling this man is going to raise the dialogue to a whole new level and really win. I’m tempted to go help and I’m in the middle of the Pacific Ocean

[ShazzieB]

107. I SO hope you are right! 🤞🤞

If Arkansans are dumb enough to pick Huckleberry Sanders' pathetic sorry ass over this amazing guy, then I guess they will get what they deserve, but I would be VERY sad to see that happen, and more than a little bit passed iff.

[CurtEastPoint]

7. (1) He is AMAZINGLY in touch and (2) that was a dynamite piece of video. Sharing!

[Lars39]

8. "...and I love being a girl dad"

This guy is great! Fuckabee wouldn’t stand a chance normally.

[Satch59]

9. Awesome ad/awesome candidate

Future senator candidate? Need him as governor for sure, considering all the voter suppression going on but he seems impressive just on resume. Debate with Sarah Huck a Sans will be one to watch!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Omigod! I have goosebumps. This man is something else, and we all need him to win! ♥

[Amaryllis]

11. OMG.How many superlative adjectives can you think of? There aren't enough to describe him.

[Kali]

13. wow!

[uponit7771]

14. NICE !!

[bottomofthehill]

15. Sad, it's Arkansas.

Mr Jones is a total super star. An amazing story, but it’s Arkansas so I am unfortunately ready for disappointment. A true Christian, and a man of science, I ain’t thinking so, bring on Uncle Fester the carnival barker for the win.

[Arkansas Granny]

27. This Arkansan never expected Sen. Warnock to win in Georgia.

Maybe we can turn the page, as well.

At any rate, Chris Jones has my full support.

[bottomofthehill]

48. You are right, I should not have been so negative.

I am in Virginia and 10 years ago, things were pretty bleak here too. Now, it’s another world. I will make a small financial contribution to atone for my doom and gloom comments. Thanks for the reminder.

[berniesandersmittens]

54. + a million!

Arkansas has had Democratic governors and Senators in the not too far ago past.


We've got an uphill battle, but Jones is the real deal!

[JI7]

56. Different demographics . Warnock, Ossoff and Biden would not win Arkansas

[yellowdogintexas]

93. I made phone calls for both Georgia senators through a national phone bank

There were callers from all over the country. I hope he and the phone bank group get together.

[BGBD]

96. Georgia had been trending

Towards democrats for several cycles though, Arkansas is going in the wrong direction. Republicans are winning statewide races by 30 points routinely.

Demographics are better in Georgia too. Arkansas is about 1/5 black while Georgia is closer to 1/3. Non-hispanic whites in Arkansas are 2/3 while in Georgia they are just over 1/2.


Winning Arkansas wouldn't be like winning Georgia. It would be more like Doug Jones winning Alabama. It would take a big scandal to give him a good shot at it.

For Arkansas sake I hope he can climb that mountain because SHS is going to be awful for the state.

[JI7]

112. Doug Jones also would not have won if he was black .

We need to avoid what happened this past election with so much investment in South Carolina and Kentucky when we should have put more into a few other states.

It's good to have good candidates and to support them but not the way it happened in this past election with those 2 states.

[meadowlander]

89. Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas in living memory.

[Cracklin Charlie]

16. That ad is fantastic!

Makes me want to move back home.

Go, Chris!

[panader0]

17. Very impressive! Go Jones!

[ashredux]

18. Damn...that's good!

[oregonjen]

19. Wow!!

[rso]

20. Arkansas

Truly outstanding candidate, but considering the nature of the typical Arkansas voter, I’m not optimistic.

[chia]

21. Blown away...

Wow.

[Martin Eden]

22. I'll forward this to my friend who moved to Arkansas a year ago

She wouldn't vote for Huckster anyway, but will appreciate Chris Jones.

[drray23]

23. incredible. One of the best political ad I have ever seen.

It is actually laughable that Sarah Huckabee would even consider herself competent to run against this man. She has zero accomplishments, he is at the pinnacle of his profession, he has been successful in both his professional and family life, has a strong set of values and can not be criticized for an outsider, his family has deep roots in Arkansas. I hope Bill Clinton endorses him and he gets noticed.

[marble falls]

24. Is he dead set on Gov of Arkansas? We need him and his family here in Texas. I'll vote for him ...

... or his wife, gladly.

[sop]

77. Send him to Florida. I can see Jones and Demings out on the campaign trail together.

[marble falls]

79. Dammit, I already called dibs!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. I just gave him some money and I will continue to support him! He needs us to help him win. ♥

[Arkansas Granny]

28. Thank you, Peggy.

[nolabear]

44. Good idea, Peggy! Off to donate!

[secondwind]

26. What an impressive guy, and what an ad!!!!

Woohoo!!!!!!!!

[jmbar2]

29. WOW WOW WOW!

A new star is born. Future President material....

[MrModerate]

30. Whoa. Very impressive...

And to think his opponent might be Miss Lie of 2018, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Lordy, would she look bad compared to Jones.

[GoCubsGo]

31. I find it hard to believe that anyone would vote for someone whose only qualification

is that she spent two years lying for Donald Trump to run their state, let alone over this gentleman. But, we're talking Arkansas. They may have elected Bill Clinton to that job, but they've gotten progressively nuttier since then. Reverend Jones is miles above Sarah Honey Boo Boo in every way, shape and form. I hope the voters in Arkansas recognize that, but I am not at all confident that this will be the case.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. Holy shit!

Too much amazing in that ad to unpack properly.

Wish him luck!!

[Warpy]

33. He's fantastic and just what that state needs

but he's up against a woman with a bible pedigree and a history of lying for money in the White House. Yes, she's awful, no knowledge, no sense of duty, just squinty eyes and a poked out lower lip and a hatred of everything that benefits human beings on earth. She's going to be very hard to beat.

[Arkansas Granny]

64. Yes, she will be hard to beat, but I'm glad to know that there is someone so qualified

to run against her.

[samnsara]

34. wow! Ill donate!

[LymphocyteLover]

35. Donated! God, let's do this!

[keithbvadu2]

36. But my brother tortures dogs and my dad is pals with Josh Duggar.

But my brother tortures dogs and my dad is pals with Josh Duggar.

I lied mightily for Donald Trump.

[speaknow]

37. Mr. Jones has more than enough

credentials, but you know how it goes.
I wish him well. I do hope he wins.
If he in the future decides to run for
President, he has my vote, count me in.
Wish him well and his family stay safe.
This is the guy we've been looking for.

[Snackshack]

38. Very impressive.

I fear too impressive for Arkansas.

[Ilsa]

39. This guy vs the gal from Ouachita Baptist U.

What kind of culture war will her campaign try to make up on him?

[Jakes Progress]

40. Arkansans are about the tell the world who they are.

[NNadir]

41. He's clearly an outstanding candidate, but he's in a State with a lot of racist rednecks. No...

...thinking person could possibly choose that phony make up smeared liar over him, but I wonder how many voters in Arkansas are actually thinking as opposed to channeling their racist emotions.

Then again, Bill Clinton came out of Arkansas, so there's that...

[Caliman73]

42. He/They are America!

That is one of the best political ads I have seen in the last 20 years. I am sure that it will be an uphill battle for Jones, especially in Arkansas and against Huckabee.

You have an intelligent, accomplished, articulate, and seemingly good person of color running against a product of nepotism, who lies freely and easily, like her father, and yet this will likely be a very tough race. That is the sad state of affairs in the United States.

[malaise]

45. Great ad

Rec

[sarge43]

46. Wow. Impressive.

He'll have the Hock for lunch.

[hay rick]

47. Very impressive!

[PortTack]

49. I did..and yes very impressive..sure hope the ppl of AR are paying attention

[Jeebo]

50. How much does stupid control Arkansas?

Too much, I fear, for somebody this supremely competent to have a chance. But I hope I'm wrong ...

-- Ron

[tiredtoo]

51. Wow! is right

This guy is the real thing.

[Brother Buzz]

53. You just know Stacey Abrams has Chris Jones on speed dial

Oh, but to be a fly on the wall when they talk

[FakeNoose]

55. He's a wonderful candidate with so much going for him

I'm wondering why we haven't heard anything about Chris Jones before.
Is this his first time running for political office?

Best of luck to Chris Jones. I'll be contributing to your campaign!
Arkansas deserves better than SHS, that's for sure.

[Lonestarblue]

57. Really impressive resume.

I’m thrilled to see people like this stepping up to run for public office. It would be wonderful for him to defeat Lying Sarah.

[Cozmo]

58. WOW! Love, love love it. You go, Chris

[dem in texas]

59. What a Great Candidate and Great Ad!!

Wish he was running in Texas.

[bonniebgood]

60. Well damn. Awesome Ad. A race to donate and watch. nt

[Paper Roses]

61. Impressive. n/t

[czarjak]

62. Stump-Jumpers, should be a no-brainer, huh?

[nuxvomica]

63. I just donated via ActBlue

I was really impressed with this candidate.

[Budi]

[wryter2000]

66. Wow

Impressive.

[sinkingfeeling]

67. Donated via Act Blue. But, having spent 29 years in Arkansas, I doubt he can win against

the Trumpeters money that will back Sarah. Also, Arkansas is in the process of removing Black county election officials from office via their new voting suppression law.

[Pepsidog]

69. Wow impressive. Sure beats a bold faced liar.

[calimary]

70. K&R! We do NOT need Sarah Huckabee Sanders elevated in ANY way.

[superpatriotman]

71. This guy has future president written all over him

That family, too!

[dlk]

72. Wow, just wow!

Jones, with his beautiful family, is a dream candidate and I wish him every good thing!

[bucolic_frolic]

73. Yeah but it's Arkansas

Election to be decided by whether you speak Appalachia or science.

[FuzzyRabbit]

74. Best campaign ad ever!

[Beartracks]

75. And the bartender says...

A physicist, a minister, a Morehouse grad, an MIT alum, a former NASA employee, an educator, a non-profit leader, a family man, and a Democrat walk into a bar.

And the bartender says, "Hi, Chris Jones, You have my vote!"

===========

[KT2000]

76. Holy Wow!!

How can he not win? Another litmus test for America.

[Cha]

82. Wow.. Rt TY!

[Renew Deal]

83. That's a good ad.

Hopefully he has a shot. The contrast between Huckabees lies and incompetence with Jones' story couldn't be greater.

[pazzyanne]

86. An awesome ad for an awesome man!

Wish I could vote for him, but since I don't live in Arkasas, I will find other ways to support him.

[NBachers]

87. I sent him a donation yesterday.

[MLAA]

91. Holy moly! What a candidate! Outstanding candidate in an outstanding commercial.

Really something. Love to see him debate the lying ms. Huckabee.

[ChazII]

94. A superb commercial.

Hope he wins.

KY

[Wild blueberry]

98. Best campaign ad I've ever seen

Wow!

[Hortensis]

99. Yet another inexperienced Democratic candidate, but at least he's

a nuclear engineer and minister, and apparently a genuine liberal or at least enlightened other, a combination that covers a few bases, if not the hugely varied and fluid practical issues of administering a state government. Presumably others are holding off while newcomers try to establish name recognition, but nevertheless more promising than a couple of nonliberal others and good to see.

[brooklynite]

100. Georgia and Arizona are in play; Arkansas is not.

Trump won by 15%.

Cotton won by 33%.

I'll be putting my money into necessary races that are winnable.

[Hortensis]

103. :) We have family in AR we'll let handle the donations. Dems of course.

But I'm in the "it's not over before it's even begun, and not until it's over-over either," school. I wasn't even in stable times and much less so in crazy ones.

Repub neofascists aren't the only ones trying desperately to harness the whirlwind.

[ampm]

101. Army of one wow

He's amazing.

[Joinfortmill]

104. Cool

[bluboid]

105. He's AMAZING!!!

Thank you for posting this!

[Six117]

109. Best news I've gotten in a long while.

Thank you!

[LudwigPastorius]

111. That's a hell of an ad.

...and, he looks like a hell of a candidate.

If he can't beat the Lazy Eyed Liar, I don't know who could.

[JudyM]

113. He could make a great ad against her just by showing clips of her stonewalling

[usaf-vet]

114. Time to toss the "Husksters" out forever. She lied from the WH podium she will lie to try and win.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders has had her 15 minutes on the stage. She doesn't deserve one second more.

[SYFROYH]

115. inspiring!

[sarchasm]

116. Go Chris Jones!

[seta1950]

117. That's fantastic

We all need to help him anyway we can.

[2Legit]

118. Dayum!

My roots are in Arkansas, however, I've never wanted to live there. If this man wins, I just might consider it. Wow! He is impressive. Sarah has no chance debating him. None.

[GoodRaisin]

119. Now let's see her resume.

Daughter of Mike Huckabee, religious and political grifter
BA degree paid for by Daddy from grifted funds
Worked on her father's campaigns

[Rural_Progressive]

120. Holy wow wa wee wa

that man looks like one, freakin', outstanding human being. Arkansas is blessed to have him as a resident. They'll be even more blessed to have him as their governor. I know where some of our political donation money is going.

[DeSmet]

121. God Speed Chris Jones

Hopes and prayers for your success.

[SmartVoter22]

122. Best Ad Ever? An informative couple of minutes.

This was an amazing campaign spot. A ton of information, a great story and probably one of the best campaign ads I'd ever seen.
This has to be shared on media critique websites... this is how it's done and done right. A 2.5 minute ad is a long one, but each second if complete and interesting.

Phd's should be required of all governors, senators, congressperson and yes, even presidents. I like the smart ones.
America does too.

[pattyloutwo]

123. Fantastic ad!

Go Chris!
