Perry cunningly manipulated the Iowa caucus vote---and did not even enter the contest. He got a pathetic 700-800 write ins while the winners who spent time and money there got 4000 votes.
That ploy was supposed to put Perry over the top. And he did become front-runner----until the debates.
Perry went downhill faster than an Olympic skier. It's one for the political history books, for sure.
“It’s one for the political history books, for sure.”
Whether he’ll be known as the “RMS Ricktannic” or the Rickdenburg is TBD. Either way, he’ll be as forgotten as Barry’s college records.
Perry is still leading most candidates. They ALL saw a drop-off. Perry's as a percentage is no worse than anyone else. And the gross inflow is much higher than most.
What you people need to look at is the color BLUE in that graph.
