'nuff said.
Good commentary and I agree.
I was pulling for Perry to move forward.
I like Trump’s attitude, but I’m more in favor of Cruz.
No. No he would not have.
Rick Perry is a decent man I’m sure but voters are not looking for insider politicians this season.
He was simply not presidential material and if people don’t think you’ve got it, no point is persisting with it.
His decision to withdraw from the race was the right one.
Simon says to look in the mirror. Trump did that last night on Fallon and the reflection looked just fine.
Good? Probably.
A zillion times better than the current occupier? Certainly!
I had nothing against Rick Perry just as I have nothing against Jeb Bush. I’m sure they’re both good men. I’m just tired of the “go along to get along approach to politics” that those two candidates embody.
By the same token, obviously, a candidate can go to far in the other direction. Alienating those in a position to move an agenda forward (or in a position to make moving forward more difficult) isn’t a recipe for success either.
Perry is too GOPe for me. Bye Bye!
He made the right decision. I applaud that.
I think Gov Rick Perry was an excellent Governor but he just never seemed to be able to handle the national stage and whether we like it or not we need someone who can and will go head to head against the literal forces of media hell.
There was an awful lot to like about Rick Perry years ago. Great governor, good record generally. What clinched it for me in my determination to never vote for him was the “heartless” comment. You can’t walk that gut feel back. It told me what he really is.
Perry just wasn’t pure enough for some here, and lets face it, he NEVER recovered from his 1st prescription drug hazed presidential bid.
Not with his attitude on illegals would Perry have made a good president.
I thought Perry would be an excellent candidate last time, but this time, he just seems to be "past his expiration date". His whole approach seemed screwed up and the tactic of attacking Trump seemed to be desperate.
Agreed. From what I read he did a fine job as Governor of Texas. I would have voted for him.
Perry’s biggest failing wasn’t forgetting about an agency.
It was promoting amnesty.
Besides that, given the fact that the media has become an arm of the democratic party, the only republican who will ever win in that climate is someone who takes the fight to them on his own terms rather than letting them define all the arguments.
'nuff said.
Most Texas Republicans will tell you that Perry was OWNED by the same bunch of wealthy donors that own the national GOP.
We’re glad to see him and his open borders, Islam-coddling, and Gardisil plans for little girls leave the campaign with him.
He just happened to be in the right place, at the right time, as governor of Texas.
Well I would just say, umm...uh...wait a minute..uh....oh shucks, drawing ablank here...
meh
Not really
He is a pro illegal guy. As governor he made sure they got in state tuition and grants
