The problem with Perry is that he is a consistent supporter of the Trump hating leadership as in Speaker Paul Ryan.
Before that he supported John Boehner and had John Boehner in the district to do fundraising for him.

Perry should be facing a challenger in the GOP Primary who calls him out and replaces him.
Charlie Gerow?
Chris Reilly?
Scott Wagner is already committed to the Gubernatorial race.
