Perry should have stayed out of the debates until his back healed and he got off the medication... and said FU to any critics of that decision.
He’d still be in the race right now.
But the bottom line is, as a group we conservatives are easily led, in some ways much more easily led than is the left.
The left would never have been pinballed from one candidate to another the way we have been.
They are actually more principled than we are. (The problem is, their principles are all evil.)
Agree with everything you say.
