We face a big battle for TX. The RATs have targeted TX for a hostile tack over.
They have plenty of money that they can use since CA is now a one party state and RATs don’t have to worry about anything but their primary election.
Without resisting amnesty and turning out the conservative vote, TX will fall.
Rick Perry came across as a bit of a goof and a lousy debator so the fix was put in for Mitt Romney. I guess the GOP decided that Mitt had perfect comportment and debating skills - even if his record in Massachusetts did kind of suck.
I wonder if Perry can be salvaged for a 2016 run. Probably not as they will keep showing the 2012 debate video clips.
His only chance is to have an affair with a hot babe. I'm serious. Maybe a whole string of bimbos would allow him to shed his "stiff" and "goofy" image.
