Wow. That CPAC 2014 speech is pretty bad. He’s obviously spent a lot of time with a public speaking coach. And the effect is... he looks like a guy who’s spent a lot of time with a public speaking coach. That was painful to watch.
And the sad part is, his policy prescriptions are correct: cut taxes and regulation, which is what Texas is done.
I think Perry would make a good president... but his chances of ever getting there are vanishingly close to zero.
He will end up saying something controversial, and then apologize for it. Like he did the other day with the comment about gayness vs. Alcoholism. He was right with the comment but he apologized instead of standing his ground. He simply cannot survive the intense pressure from the media. Our candidates have to be twice as slick as a dem candidate.
