He totally bombed in the debate and foundered like the Titanic. The reason, a poor performance, looking lost and pausing trying to put a sentence together and finally, his aweful stance on telling people you don't have a heart for not wanting to subsidize illegal aliens in having tuition to go to college. That and not wanting to build a wall to protect the borders just didn't resonate. Watching the post debate show on Fox News now is revealing that audience members are totally turned off by Perry and have switched to other candidates by his 'you don't have a heart' comment. I agree with them.
OK, you're right on--he has a problem with letting aliens within the confines of our borders starve and become perpetual servants to serve our every lazy bone.
And he says a couple of obnoxious things about his colleagues as being a tad heartless. And they are very offended!
He fumbles on his first few times in front of a national audience and looks like a novice. Consarn it, why isn't he out in the field shuckin' corn and loadin' hay in north Texas somewhere?
Well, kiss my grits.
What in the world is this cornpone dufus doing up there on the stage in front of God and everybody, suffering himself to look like a total unmitigated ass? I'll tell ya, I don't know.

He could have a comfy life right now, he's a loved governor who shoots his mouth off a time or two when he sees people without jobs. He shot his mouth off so many times, they got busy in his state, just to shut him up.
They formed committees, they hasseled their pals, and they had this big huge meeting, how we gonna shut the guvn'r up. And a little man, dressed in a plaid shirt and jeans that look a lot like the jeans you see in a junk store said "Oh, that's easy. He'll shut up when you hire some people and you and you and you and you and you...." and he called each one of those fellas by their first names.
Well, those dumb ol sweet Texans who met to lynch that mouthy governor Perry decided, okay, we'll hire some people, if he will just stfu.
So they got their lil ol butts in gear and went on a hiring campaign. The more they hired, the more teachers, police, and firemen they needed, and they still hadn't shut up Guv Perry, who was still on the yap about doing some more jobs, he got a call from someone down in San Antone who said he just couldn't spare any more welfare money, so San Antone Joe went back home and figured out a way to hire another 400 folks, and another way to make them get good salaries. He talked to a couple of pals, and one started a venture, and first thing you know, almost every community in the whole state was helped by those fellas who put the word out the governor would shut up if they just kept hiring and figuring out new get-rich-quick schemes and instead of getting rich, would turn the dollars under to employing a few more hands here and there. When it was all said and done, the good old boys club had lowered the unemployment rate in Texas, and they and their friends with 100 in this community and 250 in that, put the people who wanted to raise their family with a steady job, got one.
That's a heart.
A man who talks poorly, but you can just shut him the fuck up if you get out there and beat on a few doors to hire people and put America back to work.
Plus, Governor Perry is eccentric. He doesn't look at the color of a man or a woman's skin. If they got a kid at home who needs school stuff, and they can't afford it, he just starts the jabberwocky bit to the good old boys club, and they do it all for him.
I think we oughta hire this man with the yappety yap that gets good old boys out there hiring people.
If we hire him to be President, why we might just help shut him up, too.
I know you're thinkin' right now, "Oh, no! Not another stutterin' Texan!"
Did I tell ya the cowpoke-lookin guy in the plaid shirt and the Army surplus jeans was none other than George Bush?
