Perry isn't bad? Just a couple of weeks ago he praised Hillary by saying she was a “great Secretary of State”. A real conservative would never have done that. Nor would a real conservative have worked to keep Ted Cruz from going to Washington. Nor would a real conservative have opposed a border fence. Nor would a real conservative try to impose a nanny-state executive order to force females to have injections of unproven medication. A real conservative would not have endorsed RINO Mitch McConnell for reelection. A real conservative would not give financial aid and instate tuition to ILLEGAL aliens. A real conservative would not characterized as heartless the conservative voting base for opposing such handouts for ILLEGAL aliens. Perry is no conservative and he is far from being “not bad”. Perhaps your definition of “bad” differs from mine.
I wouldn’t vote for Perry, but he is a lot better than Chris Christie and his ilk.
There are about 10 Republicans I would pick over Perry.
Perry’s pretty damn good on some things and terrible is on others. He’s too crony for me....but good on the 10th and general economic issues. I hoped he’d come through last time to get Romney out of there...he would have been much better and able to differentiate Obama’s failed vision with successful states. That said, he was terrible in 2012, and we can do much better this time.
