Hi Mike, yoú're right, Glen avoided political subjects on The Goodtime Hour. While researching Glen's political views, it became clear that Glen, until he appeared on the Republican National Convention in 1980 with Tanya Tucker, never presented himself as a Republican. In fact, he more than once described himself as "a registered Democrat who voted Republican a few times". He appeared for both Democratic and Repulican politicians, even supported candidates from both parties. In a later interview he said about himself that he was never a straight party man, he always voted for the person. However, from 1980 on he openly supported Republican (presidential) candidates, especially Ronald Reagan and George Bush sr. And yes... in a few interviews he was not really positive about his fellow Arkansan Bil Clinton. But on the other hand, they would talk amicably whenever they met each other on the golf course.
