I’m thinking that Tanc made a deal with Mitt to help finance Tanc’s sentate run. It’s also possible that Tanc thinks he could be effective with a cabinet post.
As for me, I disagree with Tanc and will continue to support my guy till he tells me not to.
It's not always about money.
Many good and decent people like Tom Tancredo just do things because its the right thing to do.
