Anybody think Rick Perry will run in 2016? lol lol lol

I actually think he could be very formidable in the primaries, but that seems to be a minority opinion. Obviously he has to fight to earn it... but he's capable.

Same here.

Let's face it: He's one of the few candidates that actually has "gravitas" and comes off as authoritative.

I think he's pretty clearly going to run. He's been preparing for 2016 for 3 years now, and will be much better prepared than he was last go around. I suspect that if Walker doesn't win reelection, Perry gets a lot of his supporters. Tea party leaning Republicans who want a governor in the white house won't have a lot of other options. I think he will be formidable in a primary and a general, and he is being greatly underestimated by most on this forum.

You had me until that
