Perry squandered an early commanding position in the race, and is now faced with the almost impossible task of recovering from his disastrous fumbles.
He blew up his bridge to his core base with his “heartless” remarks, and doddering, near drunken debate performances. From what I’ve seen of presidential primaries (going back to 1960), a candidate cannot re-inspire the sort of standing Perry had, after going off the reservation, and disappointing as badly as he has.
At this point, his only way forward, is over the broken candidacies of others. In other words, he’s become a candidate of last resort. As long as someone who still inspires the base is still in the race, he doesn’t stand a chance.
I sure wouldn’t want you for my mentor.
Gosh Windflier. Do you ever paint with any other colors?
