It’s no secret that Glenn is not a fan of politicians, and he speaks to all of them with great skepticism. But early last month, he spoke with a Senate candidate from North Carolina, Dr. Greg Brannon, and he was pleasantly surprised by what he heard. In fact, Glenn went so far as call Brannon “perhaps the best candidate [he has] ever talked to the first time out of the chute.” Brannon once again joined the radio program this morning to talk about his campaign and to offer a fascinating history lesson on American foreign policy.

“I don’t think the American people really understand the game that is being played at the international level with Ukraine and Putin and the laughingstock that we are. I certainly don’t want to go to war. I don’t want to get involved,” Glenn said. “But as somebody who would be in the Senate, what exactly would you do and what advice do you have for Americans and for the Senate?”
Brannon, who is a self-proclaimed history buff, proved just how deep is knowledge of U.S. history and politics runs with the overview he provided of his preferred foreign policy:

The establishment-backed Thom Tillis is his competition ... "We’re tied with the Karl Rove and McConnell candidate,” Brannon said. “And if you look at the independents, we win significantly. That’s why we’re being attacked because Mr. Tillis will never debate us. I would love to be on a stage with him. I want to know how he allowed Common Core in our state. How he was actually getting state exchanges done. He said, ‘Obamacare is a good idea. We just can’t afford it.’ If that’s conservatism, that’s not our party. We’re going to stand firm.”
Tillis is just like the entrenched incumbents ... Mitch, Graham, Cochran, Alexander, Johanns, Roberts ... these guys won't debate a primary opponent because they CAN'T run on their records. So they resort to Rove PACs to fund personal attacks on new grass-roots citizen-politicians in order to protect their own political power, rather than solutions for the country.
Their sense of entitlement is ugly and foul-smelling. Go Dr. Brannon!
Greg Brannon. Until now, I did not know anything about this man. I will be watching him progress. Initial impression is good. He sounds knowledgeable, has a sense of humor, and is very articulate. Most of all he seems to have his head screwed on straight.
bttt
Brannon will be a terrific senator, but he should probably avoid Glenn Beck. The guy told him in the last interview, “I could tongue kiss you!”.....
I know no guys who say that to other guys. It’s downright creepy.
Yeah, that was definitely odd.
I must say, I’m impressed.
Now if only Glenn would interview Me, we'd have an article about how I could be the future of the Democratic Party. I'm not a politician, so maybe that's why I can't get an interview. I'm just a statesman.

If he can just get past that “law suit scandal”. I’m afraid that will cost him 3 or 4 percentage points in the vote if it doesn’t get cleared up quickly.

Not so. Barry Obama says that to Lindsey Graham all the time.
Shhh. If McLame finds out, you’ll break his heart.
