RE:”It’s all show, no substance (or as they say down South, “All hat and no cattle.”). Perry was a Carter-Gore Democrat for most of his life, switched parties only because his hopes of continuing as a Democrat in TX were finished (and was recruited by Karl Rove, which tells you all you need to know). I’ve seen tons of slick phonies like him in political office my entire life.”

As I pointed out in my first comment I don't want him to run for POTUS and wouldn't expect any good if he did, but he's got a hell of a-lot of Hispanics in Texas and yet he turned down FREE medicare expansion there.

In some some fantasy worlds here that is nothing but on the planet earth that is real $$$ for his state he is turning down.

I saw this on a webpage "Perry is the longest serving governor in Texas state history", lets see if Cruz run as Senator in 2018 and wins re-election. That would be a fair measuring point.

I like Cruz. I’m not sure about 2016 but I think he could be president one day. I think he’s up to it and I think he could do the job well. Perry, not so much. One thing is certain, we can’t let the leftist media choose our nominee for us again.
