You must know nothing about Tancredo. He is nothing like Trump. More like the anti-Trump.

Nah, that just means you don’t have a clue.

“Tom Tancredo is perhaps best known for his opposition to illegal immigration. Tancredo founded the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus in May 1999. He served as its Chairman until January 2007, when he turned the chairmanship over to Brian Bilbray.

Tancredo has called for halting illegal immigration, and a three-year moratorium on all legal immigration to allow those immigrants already in the country to be assimilated. “

“Tancredo has said that abortion “compromises the sanctity of life” and “attacks the most vulnerable among us: unborn boys and girls”. He does not support the granting of federal funds to “any organization that promotes abortion”

“Tancredo became one of the outspoken conservative opponents to the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.”

“On February 4, 2010, Tancredo spoke at the National Convention for the Tea Party movement where he told attendees that Barack Obama won because of “people who could not even spell the word ‘vote’ or say it in English”. He then proposed “a civics literacy test” as a prerequisite to voting.”

“Said Tancredo in September 2007, “You have to remember that we are always just one kooky judge away from actually having homosexual marriage forced on all the rest of us, because of the [full faith and credit] clause in the U.S. Constitution. Therefore, we need, we absolutely have to have, a constitutional amendment that defines marriage”

“In a speech given at a campaign event for Colorado Senate candidate Ken Buck on July 8, 2010, Tancredo said of President Barack Obama, “... the greatest threat to the United States today, the greatest threat to our liberty, the greatest threat to the Constitution of the United States, the greatest threat to our way of life; everything we believe in. The greatest threat to the country that our founding fathers put together is the man that’s sitting in the White House today.”

“Tancredo’s outspoken advocacy for immigration reform, and particularly his criticism of President George W. Bush’s border security controls, reportedly made him persona non grata in the Bush White House. According to Tancredo, he and Bush’s political adviser, Karl Rove, got into a “screaming match” after Tancredo claimed that “if the nation suffered another attack at the hands of terrorists able to skirt immigration laws, the blood of the people killed” would be on Bush’s and Congress’ hands. Rove responded by calling Tancredo “a traitor to the party” and “a traitor to the president,” and warned him to never “darken the doorstep of the White House.” National Review’s David Frum wrote that “[n]o issue, not one, threatens to do more damage to the Republican coalition than immigration.”

This is good news, Tancredo is not electable.

State Treasurer Walker Stapleton seems like obvious choice.
