I stopped years ago also. They pander to people who have iq’s a little beneath room temperature. And unfortunately, I have not forgotten Perry as a national candidate. It is a painful memory.
The thing is people on FR had called Perry “Governor Goodhair” and lightweight for some time before he ran for President.
I really had an open mind. He entered the primary late and was 10%+ up in the polls. Then came the “heartless” comment and his love of illegals sank him. He never apologized or took back the comment and he was gone in a month.
