Citing insufficient resources, Republican Tom Tancredo drops out of Colorado governor’s race
Colorado Politics ^ | January 30, 2018 | Ernest Luning

Posted on 01/30/2018 2:46:35 PM PST by snarkpup

Former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo is ending his bid for the Republican nomination for Colorado governor on Tuesday because he hasn’t raised the money he believes would be necessary to win an expensive election against a wealthy Democrat willing to spend millions on his campaign, Colorado Politics has learned.

“I do not want to win a primary and lose a general, and I fear that was where we were going,” he told Colorado Politics in an interview.

Nick, the RNC didn’t support Trump, and it doesn’t support other Conservatives.

Sorry you didn’t know that.

You were wrong from the first post. Live with it.

You are wasting way too much hot air.

I didn’t say anything negative about Tom.

What the H is wrong with you?

You are not mistaken about Colorado being solidly red in the not so distant past. It seems like I read something before the 2008 election, maybe just after 2004, that Colorado was one of a few states targeted by the Dems to turn it. I know other factors involved, but I do believe there has been a concerted effort by them.

I was in by August of 2015. It seemed to me his platform was just what the nation needed, and it was my take it was by far the best platform out there.

Since his election to office, I agree with your take.

And how could ANYONE (I don’t care what the excuse could be) not support him every moment once it became him against Hillary?

Here’s right back at you for eight years of Trump.

I thought he was just a garden variety dumbass.

LOL, I didn't say that,... might have to admit to what I was thinking at some point though.

This is just 2 ways Trump saved America . Trumped saved America from Hillary's planned executive Amnesty which she would have used to have the voters to turn the USA into socialist Venezuela
http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/05/25/clinton-releases-plan-dissolve-us-border-within-100-days/

Hillary planned to through open the U.S. borders and then give all the illegals amnesty and hillary care.

Trump literally saved the Internet and freedom

1. The Internet grew very well for 20 years without Obama’s and soros’ “net neutrality”

2. Pai the FCC commissioner said in a video while being grilled by liberal rags like politico that a lot of small isps have not been able to expand their network because Obama passed this net neutrality bit of communism in 2015.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrJe6fk_h94

3. Net Neutrality was just one move in a sequence of events to completely take over the internet. A sequence that happened so slowly none of you noticed it happening at all: This lays it all out :
http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/152760068/the-globalist-takeover-of-the-internet

4.Soros funded and is behind this “net neutrality”
http://ijr.com/2015/03/270555-soros-groups-dropped-82-million-push-net-neutrality-interesting-thing-happened-placeholder/

5. This Net Neutrality would have allowed government to control the Internet which was their goal not any money savings or whatever their stupid spin is. We dodged a bullet and Trump literally saved America again.

6. We have 3 years of freedom left or 7 if Trump wins in 2020. not much longer once the marxists get their Net neutrality back in place then you a communist snowflake will be happy huh marching for socialism right

My dads place needed some work. A lot of work. We put it on the market when he went into a home. It had 15 offers in the first week! A developer bought it and lifted roof and added a second floor.

Unrecognizable except for the garage in the back that my grandfather had built for us.

I wasn’t thinking you were taking them at met. (pot shots)

Thanks for the mention of the Libertarian vent. If I had known that at some point, I don’t remember it now.

I would support him for governor against the likes of which the Left will loft.

When good men seek support to run for office, I can’t blame them if the RNC is missing in action, and they find support elsewhere.

As long as they sill support a decent platform agenda, I can look past some things.

Yeah, I liked him very early on, funny enough. Then I wasn’t into any of it or any of them after a time. Tuned it out to some degree and distanced myself from it. I guess, trying to preserve my sanity. But once he was the man, and I saw him really fighting (I know he has done so all along), and shoving it in their faces...well, it was awesome. Exciting time/election. :) And Hillary got crushed again!!! lol. As much as I *dislike* Obama, I’ll always love that he was the first to snatch it from her.

“Tancredo was Trump before the real deal came along.”

Yep.
I went to his press conference in Des Moines when he withdrew to hear him

Wow. If one has money, CO would probably be a great place to invest. Things are booming.

Ya. If only we had known this 10, 20, 30 years ago. :)

Houses were not cheap then but affordable.

“Tom Tancredo has a 20-year record on immigration, what’s your point?”

I didn’t realize it would be that tough for you to figure out something that would be obvious to a 5th grader.

When Trump rode down the escalator and made his announcement what issue got all the publicity? Should I give you a hint? It begins with an “i”.

” You may disagree with him”

Where did I say I disagreed with Tancredo? Other than “never”?

In about May of 2015, a FReeper asked me to check out Trump’s platform. I didn’t mean to be rude, but I kindly said it wouldn’t make any difference, I could not see myself every supporting him. They tried to get me to, but I took a pass on checking it out.

I was wrong to have done that, and if I could find that FReeper, I’d acknowledge my mistake and apologize. I’ve looked for the post for hours, and I cannot find it. It may have been on a thread that got deleted. I don’t know, but I’d sure love to find it.

That’s how much a big fan of him I was, based on his ‘The Apprentice’ show.

I didn’t see him as presidential. I couldn’t see myself supporting him. And in three months I was in.

LOL

I'm a NevrHillary. I never vote for anyone who supported and gave money to Hillary. GWB was too close to the Clintons, and look what happened. Now we have a full-on friend of Hillary as president.

Yes, please come give me trouble when Hillary is persecuted, Give me all the trouble you want. I'm not worried. Because it will never happen. Trump is there to protect Hillary. He even admitted it on 60 Minutes after he was elected.

You are a good man. :) Neat story. I hope it comes to you someday who the FRepper was.

We sure as heck lucked out with Trump. He stepped up at the perfect time. I have no doubt he knew that.

Yes, but did you actually pay attention to everything he said? No, you just went by what the media said.

Question: Did Tom Tancredo blast Mitt Romney for being, "too tough on immigration" during the presidential campaign of 2012?

Not supporting the only person who stands between Hillary Clinton and the White House, is certainly an interesting way to protect the nation from a Leftist takeover.

Did you ever stop to think of their respective platforms?

Did you ever think about the SCOTUS picks?

I could go on, but bud, you're spewing too much information for your own good.
