Tom Tancredo spoke in Waukee, IA yesterday and “stressed that the United States must overcome converging threats posed by radical Islam, communist China and broken borders.” He’s right. He said a lot of things yesterday that were right:
“China is not just an economic threat,” he said. “It is also a military threat.”
“We can no longer afford to fight politically correct wars or in politically correct ways,” the Republican said. “… There’s only one rule of engagement – I believe we should go into war with: ‘We win; they lose,’ ” he said.
Tancredo also said he does not view the United States’ operations at home and abroad as a “war on terror,” but rather, a “war against radical Islam.”
Here’s the problem. He said these things in front of a crowd of about 40 people. Tom has a good message. He just needs to get in front of a larger crowd and speak it.
Overall, I can’t see him coming out of the second tier anytime soon.
