Agreed.
I’m sure Perry was a fine governor. I admire his achievements there.
But gaffes like this quote re Hillary, and his gaffe in the debates when he was unable to recall which departments he would eliminate, simply make him unelectable.
I don’t think it was a gaffe, I think he really believes it. Just like he really believed giving instate tuition and taxpayer-funded subsidies to ILLEGAL aliens was a good thing. And just like he really believed that his nanny-state Gardasil mandate forcing Texas females to get an unwanted and unneeded vaccination of an unproven drug was a good thing. The man just does not think conservatively because he is not one. He was a democRAT and switched parties because he knew his political career was doomed in Texas w/o it.
