Tancredo for President?
The list of presidential wannabes could get a little longer soon. Rep. Tom Tancredo, a Colorado Republican who has gained a national following — and the ire of some Latino groups — as a staunch opponent of illegal immigration, hinted Friday that he is ready to pursue the Oval Office.
When asked whether he plans to take action to start an official bid for the GOP nomination he said, “That is a distinct possibility.”
Tancredo wouldn’t be the only candidate with a “tough on border security” platform. Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, a major force behind constructing fences along the U.S.-Mexico border, formed an exploratory committee last year.
