Tom Tancredo: Rick Perry is finished
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/20/2011 | Will Rahn

Posted on 10/20/2011 2:23:44 PM PDT by martosko

Former Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo blasted Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday, saying "he is finished," in a sign the GOP’s immigration hawks may soon flock to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Tancredo, who is currently supporting former Godfather Pizza CEO Herman Cain for the nomination, also predicted Perry would not win the nomination. "I think he has imploded,” Tancredo said. “I think he is finished and I hope I helped kick some holes in his boat."

Rick Perry should be contemplating an exit strategy that will save face (if possible).

Gee, Tom, the electoral process here in the USA frequently involves VOTING for a candidate.

Well Tom, I love what you do but Steve Forbes just came out saying Perry's new tax plan is the most exciting since Reagan's. We'll see.

By the way Cain has basically taken Perry's border security stance anyway.

I am so confused.

Tom supports Cain, and Tom is pointing out that Perry has imploded...

and yet the article says ... “in a sign the GOP’s immigration hawks may soon flock to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney”

am I missing something? where is the proof that anyone is flocking to the polygamist?

Why would they flock to Romney? Especially since in the next paragraph, they admit Tancredo himself is supporting Cain?

Forbes came out for Giuliani as well, so much of the luster of his endorsement has faded.

Forbes didn’t endorse Perry, he endorsed his plan.

Tancredo is right. We don’t need another pro-amnesty RINO turning off conservative voters.

I'd like to listen in on an attempted conversation between between Forbes and Perry. There has to be an 80 point difference in their IQs.

Tom Tancredo? Uh, okay.

LOL, yeah, b/c Tancredo knows how to win him some presidential primaries.

Tancredo wants to bitch about about how Perry handled at 1200 mile border with Mexico, yet he hires them to work in his own house. Sounds a lot like Romney.
