Title: Governor Gilmore...
Post by: daidalos on January 28, 2016, 04:21:11 PM
Does anyone know anything about Governor Gilmore?

The debate tonight, was the first time I've really heard him saying anything. And well I did like his comments about veterans and how he would fix the V.A.! But a good position on that, is very minor in the things facing our Republic. So looking for more info about the mans record.

I googled the Republican Candidates, but the sites aren't even listing this guy as a candidate. Which even further confused me, as he's up there in the debate tonight.

He is a former governor of VA. From what I know he is pretty conservative, but I am not an expert on him.

I don't know anything about him either.

I wonder how many will be on the ballot that we've never heard of before.

He was a Nam-era counterintelligence-agent for the Army.  We discussed him during the lead-up to the first debate in-relation to the Snowden situation.  I predicted his campaign would outlast Rick Perry's, who was a minor shoo-in at the time, simply because Gilmore was coherent about policy.  He still is, but he doesn't have any National-charisma to project anything outward.
