We can’t “get rid” of romney until there is a primary election or two. The establishment is going to continue to support him until it becomes obvious that he won’t win the nomination.
We aren’t “destroying” anyone. Perry’s “bumbling” as you put it is his fault. No one elses. Bachmann’s problems are also self imposed.
It is true that the nation has elected incoherent Texans to the White House before but at the Orlando venue, Perry come up with some really dumb non-sequiturs. This one takes the cake: Perrys debate answer WRT what hed do if the White House phone rang at 3 AM......informing him that the Taliban had gotten control of Pakistans nuclear weapons.
Well, obviously, before you ever get to that point, you have to build a relationship in that region. And thats one of the things that this administration has not done. Just yesterday we found out through Admiral Mullen that Haqqani has been involved with and thats the terrorist group directly associated with the Pakistani country so to have a relationship with India, to make sure that India knows that they are an ally of the United States. Perry went on to tell a story about how the Obama administration wouldnt sell upgraded F-16 fighters to India. Which n-e-v-e-r happened.
====================================
Perry's candidacy-ending response was when he thumbed his nose at his country and its citizenry by saying those who disagreed with him on in-state tuition are "heartless." The inference was that only Perry was truly worthy (b/c only he had sucked up to Mexico).
========================================
Perry was anticipating the triumphal moment when he would be able to nail Romney for being a flip-flopper---and had prepared for it. This was Perry's response: I think Americans just dont know sometimes which Mitt Romney theyre dealing with. Is it the Mitt Romney that was on the side of against the Second Amendment before he was for the Second Amendment? Was it was before he was before the social programs from the standpoint of he was for standing up for Roe versus Wade before he was against first Roe versus Wade? Him he was for Race to the Top. Hes for Obamacare and now hes against it. I mean, well wait until tomorrow and and and see which Mitt Romney were really talking to tonight.
==========================================
Perry has a complete lack of presidential gravitas he has an odd way of responding, then cocking his head in an almost mechanical way, posing with a self-satisfied grin (as if he had just paged through his vast holdings).
