I don’t support Perry by any means, but has anyone dared to ask der Obola this question without his teleprompter in front of him? ...or even without it?

When asked a stupid question, Ronald Reagan would always answer with something funny which made him look personable and connect with voters at the same time making the stupid person look stupid.

Our candidates must be able to be loose, relaxed , professional, and have good humor.

Yes, Ms. Hunt, I am smart enough to be President. I also have an excellent sense of smell and could smell your rotten body the minute you walked into this room!

Oh but he is handsome!!! And...and...and he wears cowboy boots!!! And...and...and he shoots guns!!! That is about the complete mindset of the bleeding heart ‘RAT liberals who support the illegal loving NWO globalist La Raza Ricarrdo Perrynista.

Should have just said "Before I answer that can you answer this: have you ever asked that question of any Democrat politician?" In the highly unlikely situation that he answers "yes" then you say "Well at least you are fair in your lack of tact". If he answers "no" or refuses to answer then answer "well, I guess I see where you are coming from then." In either case, stop there.

Bottom line: don't give them what they want, which is a headline in the morning news addressing whether the candidate is smart (leaving the impression that he is a dummy, regardless of how he answered).

My 1st retort that came to mind:

Are smart enough to take a crap without your mommy to wipe for you?

A conservative runs for office, and NOW they want to check his grades?

My answer: “You want to see my grades? You want a transcript? How about a birth certificate? My guy over there will round that up for you. Good to see you guys finally doing your job. If you’d have done that eight years ago, Hillary may actually have won and we wouldn’t be in the fix we are in now. Look at the price we’ve paid for being stylish.”

Have a heart.

lol! I thought I did. But according to the pro-ILLEGAL alien governor of Tejas, I do not. And, unless I bend to his will and endorse his giving taxpayer-subsidized handouts to ILLEGAL aliens as his faithful followers have done, I apparently never will. So be it. I'll stick to my conservative values and deny liberalism at every turn, including, and especially, when it is proposed by liberal Republicans like La Raza Rick Perry.

Yes, La Raza Rick Perrinista does wear cowboy boots. And those glasses make him look soooooooo smart!

Perry is a mumbling, liberal moron whose dedication to his NWO globalist backers by far outweighs any semblance to conservatism he may have. He IS what is wrong with the Republican Party. Thankfully, and in accordance with recent polling, he will never see the inside of the White House unless, of course, President Cruz were to ever invite him. And given Perry's overt opposition to Senator Cruz, it is highly unlikely that will ever happen, either.

And there are actually those who either A: Are so damn stupid that they fall for La Raza Rickeeeeeee’s liberal crap or B: Are really democ’RATS trolling here for their liberal masters. Either one. There is no way in heck any TRUE Conservative could support this Perry fraud.

I couldn't agree more. I have provided Perry supporters with a DIRECT QUOTE from the man wherein he said he was for a "pathway to citizenship" for those here ILLEGALLY. They denied that was amnesty. I have also provided them with Perry's quote on Hillary wherein he said she was a "Great Secretary of State", and they said he was just being kind. They know all about his liberal policies and leanings, be it praising Hillary, supporting amnesty and instate tuition and other taxpayer-subsidized handouts for the ILLEGAL hordes or creating nanny-state vaccination mandates for females who either do not want or do not need the vaccinations, in the minds of these people, Perry can do no wrong. There is absolutely nothing he can do that they will not defend.

But you are correct. A TRUE conservative would never support a man with such liberal leanings. Yet they do.
