The man judged by most historians as the best president in our history had one two-year term as a member of the House of Representatives many years prior to his ascendency to the White House. Know who I'm referring to?

Where do you think the word “Governors” comes from? What does a governor do on a motor?

Governors do not rule, governors govern.

Kings rule.

Far as your question goes, vet, I am ashamed to admit that i do not know the answer.

There’s no way this guy successfully navigates a national campaign.

I know he didn’t mean it but why the heck did he use any phrase except “6 years” to talk about a Senator?

What has he done about the illegals or the border?

Why did he flip flop on Everify just a few months ago.

The new Texas GOP wants to repeal his tuition and rainy day fund.

I notice that while "Senators talk" as used in the title is a quote, RULE was chosen by The Hill to characterize what Rick Perry said about experience and leadership.

Perhaps it should be “reign” instead of “rule”.

Hahahahahaha! Texas governors do NOT rule. Contrary to popular belief, it’s the Lt. Governor who rules and heads the legislature whereas the Governor is nothing but a pretty figurehead. The title Gov. Good Hair fit Perry in more than one way.

Poorly worded, but with our pathetic eduction system these days, along with the Obama Lapdog Media, people do need to be reminded of the differences between the Executive and the Legislative Branches

"Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) says that governors are much better suited for the presidency than senators ..."

Former Gov. Perry doesn’t seem to understand (ignores?) that state governors have the greater 10th Amendment-protected power to serve the people versus the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.

In fact, just about the only power that the states have delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, to address intrastate issues is to decide policy for the US Mail Service (1.8.7).

Did a word search on the sourced article. Rule only appears in the title not in any quote from Perry.

This is the price we pay for having partisan imbeciles writing for anything more complex than a cookbook.

As fwdude said about Perry, “the ability to think on your feet is indispensable.” This man needs to get his act together so he doesn’t give the left any ammo for attacking him. Better yet, he can get out of the way and leave Cruz a clear field. There are three reasons I cannot support Perry: his stance on Amnesty, his inability to express himself clearly, and . . . um . . . I’ve forgotten the third reason.
