Rick, please say good night.
No, Rick Perry is much too good a staunch conservative Republican, much too successful as a governor, to turn out to pasture. He like all of us has some flaws, but I would trust him as POTUS without question.
Those candidates coming out Congress may be solid conservative Republicans but I don’t know of any who could take the reins of this massive government without having first handled a state government - and done it as well as Perry.
