Perry needs to HIT OBAMA and forget about the other candidates.

I agree.
I wish he would put on blinders to those on the debate stage and just focus on his plan, not what is wrong but what he is going to do to make it better.
It seems he gets nervous and on the defensive. He isn’t the best debater. I hope he steps it up. I’m not counting him out yet.
not what is wrong but what he is going to do to make it better.

True..
I know what I like or dislike about your opponent, just tell me what you are going to do to either enhance or change what your opponent is doing, then let me decide if you are my choice or not.
Two pols agree not to get personal in the race to office.
The incumbent goes first and points out what he did etc.
The challenger just stood up and said “If you want to rid yourself of cronyism, people with hands in the till, corruption etc, vote for me. If you like what I just mentioned, vote for the incumbent”.
Posters from around the country show they have no grasp of the illegal immigration problem at all by their one size fits all approach and simplistic platitudes.
Managing the problems caused by the fed’s neglect isn’t by any means the preferred method but sometimes all that is left.
Interesting idea which I have not heard before. Maybe 18 years would be the easiest to argue because if you are born here you are here 18 years before you can vote, thus it makes sense. It does take that unspoken but central issue out of the argument.
It inspired me to look up the history of US voting rights.
Ultimately, I think the right to vote should be earned (even by citizens) by showing some basic level of personal responsibility. If you act irresponsibly you don't get to participate in the important decisions.
Then we need to keep the pols from changing the rules for their own personal gain. Your idea seems like a solution. Term limits would solve this problem, and others too.
I had to be a US citizen for 18 years before I ever was able to vote... I don’t see the problem with requiring the same for immigrants. Eighteen years would be enough for most of them to figure the demoKKKrat party out.
While I felt that slap of Governor Perry’s words, I do appreciate the up front manner in which he made NO bones about who he serves first. At least he did NOT pitch his campaign theme in sheep’s clothing of compassion. Perry for president is NOT the same office as Perry for Governor of Texas, which I can only ‘guess’ he will attempt to redress in the next ‘debate’.
