Because he is a Republican Obama that Hillary will tear limb from limb.
It happened to Perry....so.....
Yeah, but Perry was a joke candidate to begin with. Rubio has always been a serious contender.
No, Rick Perry was going to unite the Teavangelist wing of the GOP, both the social conservatives and the tea party conservatives ala Ted Cruz, pool all the open borders donor money from people like thE Koch brothers and big oil (as well as that portion of the Wall Street money that had backed Rudy and refused to support Mittens), basically a nice package that would pose a formidable threat to Mittens. Romney was preparing for a long draw out fight, using immigration and Perry's social security comments to undermine him. It turned out he didn't have to because Perry destroyed himself, allowing for Herman Cain to surge and then after him, New Gingrich.
