We already have a Rick Perry running. His name is Ted Cruz.
The difference is Ted Cruz is well-spoken and educated in addition to being a conniving, malicious bully while Rick Perry is a complete dork who lacks wit and pretends to be a strong authority figure.
I would also characterize Perry as a conniving, malicious bully though I will concede that Ted Cruz is well-spoken and educated, especially when compared to Perry.
They do seem to come from the same political school of egotistical, bullying blowhards though.
