Americans are very forgiving----they will absolve their politicians of most anything. But Americans cannot forgive a politician who does not understand the ramifications of his words.

Perry's 2012 debate sneer---slapping down voters as "heartless" for not wanting to subsidize illegals--- was his self-serving notion that he was better than voters---but it exposed his political self-destruction.

The old political adage still applies---its not about how much "voters like the candidate"---it's about how much the "candidate appears to like the voters."
