This is typical Perry. Talks tough before elections (hence the current sanctuary city blathering) but once he’s safely in office it’s a quick backslide into liberalism. He’s a hold your finger up to see which way the wind is blowing that day kind of politician. After nearly 30 years in politics, he’s got it down good.
What you just said makes me think of John McCain. I am sorry, we don’t need another McCain and while I like Bush 43, we don’t need another Bush clone. Go home, Perry! We don’t need you!
