It’s not the fence issue that is dragging Perry down. Most Americans DO understand that there are a variety of things that need to be done to physically/virtually secure the border.
Perry was decimated by the in-state tuition for illegals debate last night, in particular, his response that people who did not agree with this were “heartless.”
Sorry, that is the kind of gaffe that just isn’t going to be overlooked in this cycle.
Even the Frank Luntz focus group was focused on the fact that the problem with Perry’s policy was that it subsidized college for illegal aliens while subjecting American citizens from outside Texas to huge tuition surcharges.
True, but Bachman, Santorum, and Romney will never admit it before a large audience.

Very true.
