The Hagan/Tillis race was probably one of the best examples of odd election dynamics under Obama.

Tillis has been nearly as bad as Romney, Ryan, Alexander, Portman and many other GOP squishes. But, of course, he ran as a conservative and was certainly portrayed that way by his opponents (including the media).

Hagan had the Obama albatross to deal with. Despite agreeing with him on nearly every policy, she knew or had already seen that he was campaign trail poison despite the fawning press and bused-in crowds. And so, Obama visited NC multiple times to ‘help’ and Hagan magically found a reason each time to be not just out of the city in question but out of the state entirely.

It was hilarious slapstick - it should have been a sped-up film a la Benny Hill or Warner Bros but of course the humorless media didn’t report it that way.

I met Tillis at a private fund raiser and did not like what I heard when he gave his talk. He has fully lived down to my expectations. I would have expected more insight from someone who came from the business world. Public accounting as I recall.

Tillis is still trying to portray himself as a conservative, Trump supporter.
