Bingo! If you remember, Perry absolutely scorched Trump, and in doing so, he deep fried his own run for president. Cruz’s positions are not so far away from Trump’s the Perry should feel about the same for him as he does Trump. But you are right, there is the Texas connection which means Perry might be thinking of snagging a high level position if he plays his cards right. And Perry does have some bragging rights over his handling of the Texas economy for ten years.
La Raza Rick deep fried all presidential runs he might make when he was Governor of Texas.
Give Trump credit or condemnation for things he actually has done.
Speaking of how close Cruz and Trump are on the issues, when Trump announced I wrote down every position he took. Every single one was a position already taken by Cruz. I remember wondering why he was running instead of supporting Ted. There were only two Cruz positions that Trump didn’t adopt, protecting religious liberty and abolishing the IRS.
