Perry is done no matter what you want, and people who still support him have a pointless task in trying to undo extremely unpopular facts, which means it's nothing more than waste of time. He's even hurt his political career in Texas by making all his liberal pro-illegal immigration views known to those who were in the dark before. Texas democrats who support the in-state tuition for illegal immigrants have said they are going to have to fight hard to keep the law in place now. There is going to be a lot more support against it now than there ever was before, and it won't survive. That's the only positive affect of Perry's run for president.
Then you should be pleased and all set to curl up and have happy dreams.
