That's not just a theory.......
CASE IN POINT Perry did not officially enter the Iowa caucus---he cunningly manipulated the vote from Texas. That was supposed to take him over the top as he announced his candidacy the day of the vote........stomping allover the winners who spent time and money there.
Perry's sub rosa plan was supposed to take him over the top---instead he got a pathetic 700 write-ins---the winners got 4000 votes.
But there he was posing for pics, giving the victory sign under Iowa banners. He actually became the front-runner for awhile until voters saw the craggy-faced Marlboro Man's debate flops.
Perry has at least three PACs (that we know of) teeming with millions of dollars (he did not spend a penny in Iowa).
Once in the 2012 race, Perry announced he had "raised" $17 million---another of Perry's self-serving ploys to advance his ambitions.
The guy has "phony" written all over him.
Balogna...pure balogna.
Perry seemed to have good answers but they weren’t to the questions asked. After the second time he did this it seemed like he was using the debate to get his sound bites in more than his position on foreign affairs.
