RINO Rick is at 2% because the pro-ILLEGAL alien crowd has a new leader.
Sorry, it makes no sense that Perry lost support because of illegals, but Newt who’s stance is more “liberal” than Perry on the issue is surging. What does make sense is that Perry came off as stumbling and ill prepared in the debates (at least at first), while Newt comes off as the smartest, most prepared of all the candidates. Immigration is not most important issue for most voters.
