Why? He adds nothing to the race
He adds another dope to spit the vote.
Listening to people in this thread, it’s all going according to plan.
And when JeBush waltzes in with 19% of the vote, then they will whine and scream about a vast RINO conspiracy.
He can bugger right off, he will of course give great speeches.
Nothing to see here, just another establishment get along to go along.
Perry’s on my short list of potential candidates.
Rick Perry has done nothing about the border for 12 of 14 years of his time as Governor.
Scott Walker gets a pass because he is not well informed on many issues and lives in Wisconsin.
Each year of the 2000’s what has Perry done to secure the border or cut freebies to illegals.
Didn’t he oppose Everify for state employees until recently?
All this job growth would have happened with any generic Republican in charge of Texas. What has he done to make sure these jobs are going to Americans, not illegals and in most cases trying to avoid giving them to foreign nationals.
The 2 losses for Dewhurst from Cruz and Patrick were losses to the Perry agenda.
They are also going after his rainy day fund.
Why? Because people want a president that fights for illegals, praises Hillary, playacts his Obama opposition, hates fences and stops Ted Cruz or another conservative from getting the job.
Because a good portion of FR posters don’t believe in conservatism, the FR mission statement or their own country. If they did, they would show it.
Look on the bright side. Perry will probably take more votes that would have otherwise gone to Jeb in the GOP primary than votes that would have gone to Cruz or other conservatives. The conservative vote is split among a half-dozen candidates (more if you include pseudo-conservatives like Santorum and Huckabee), so it’s good to see the GOP establishment vote being split for a change. It isn’t is though Lindsey Graham would take enough votes to keep the nomination from Jeb.
