FReepers, get to know the candidates in this race before passing judgement. I was a Brannon supporter... until I got to know him. He is arrogant and not the man he fashions as his image. He says some good things... but can anyone point to anything he has actually DONE? As a supporter, I felt like Hillary’s supporters... tasked to name an accomplishment, not a policy statement, and came up short.
Tillis has the support of Rove... and that’s his biggest roadblock. I was against him for the simple reason that the establishment wasn’t... and it was enough for me. Other than that, Thom has done a very good and conservative job for NC in the legislature. Hell, he engineered the GOP takeover of the House after 150 years of one-party rule. Things don’t change overnight after all of that but he has advanced the ball very well.
I disagree with the headline... there is a big difference between Tillis and his opponents. He has actually done what he said he would do to advance conservatism (in the face of opposition). His opponents are all talk so far.
I encourage you to do your own research and not simply be lead by others.
“but can anyone point to anything he has actually DONE?”
What do you mean by this? Anything he has done politically? As I understand it, he’s a physician. Do you consider that as not doing anything, or would you prefer that a US Senator have held some other office?
I’ve heard Brannon in interviews and he talks about the Constitution, does not think Obamacare is a “great idea” and doesn’t have Planned Parenthood people working for him.
