I am a Texas voter, and I would vote for Perry over Cruz in the Republican primary. Just as an FYI, I did vote for Cruz in the Texas Republican presidential primary. I regret that vote. His behavior since has been sickening. I sincerely apologize for that vote. Had I known how he would behave afterwards, I would not have voted for Cruz for dog catcher, let alone presidential nominee of the Republican party.
Apology accepted; Cruz fooled a lot of us, myself included.
