The next puzzle piece to fall into place is Rick Perry. Even for Cruz, who has happily made himself a hate figure in the oh-so-collegial Senate, dumping on Perry would be bad form. It’s essential to the Cruz campaign that Perry take himself out — and that’s nearly a done deal, now, too.

I saw Rick Perry being interviewed by Charles Payne on Fox News this afternoon and Perry pretty well completed the job of taking himself out. Payne tried to get him to clarify how he (Perry) would deal with inducements to illegal immigration and what he (Perry) would do with the many millions of illegals already here. Perry WOULD NOT ANSWER those questions and repeatedly retreated to “secure the border”.
The illegal alien problem is multi-faceted and must be dealt with on multiple fronts. Perry clearly doesn’t want to do anything to antagonize his “main stream” Republican supporters (e.g., National Chamber of Commerce) who flourish on the illegal alien presence.
Rick Perry, put your ridiculous glasses away... you’re finished and you did it yourself.
I used to really like Rick but he has just become unappealing.
I saw the same interview and Payne was a real "PAIN"...
Perry kept trying to convince him that it made no difference what you did with those already here until you secured the border....if you send them all back and don't secure the border, you will merely either have replacements or repeats...ship them out and they will walk back in....Payne couldn't seem to understand the concept of priorities.
