I don’t think he’s stupid - but some of the things I see with him don’t add up.
eg the “oops” moment as you called it. How could someone forget a major, fundamental component of one’s approach to governing? That’s not something one forgets - thoughts like this are innate.
If one doesn’t forget such innate thought, then this is not perry’s innate thought. Why then did he claim that this was so important?
I’m willing to accept errors in memory for sure but this [among a few other gaffes] doesn’t add up.
But he IS saying the right things imo
He is busing all over Iowa working, working working. I like a man who will put in the hard work, it tells me something about them.
I think the "oops" moment was simply he lost his train of thought. I also consider how the spiritual realm operates. Tribulations work patience.
Newt is a fantastic debater and so is Mitt. It's what they do but Perry is a fantastic governor and he is a fantastic retail politician.
His strength is meeting you, talking to you personally, shaking your hand and listening to what you have to say. That is his strength. It's not Newts and it's not Mitt's.
