I thought Perry, like all other conservatives was for state rights. He wanted his state to control the border. Trump only said what all conservatives want. Why is Perry now against controlling the border in his own state?

Too flippin’ late, guv. Now, it’s Trump’s to lose the second place ranking (or Indie run). You weren’t viable in '12 and '16 won’t prove to be a redeeming moment.

“what Mr. Trump is offering is not conservatism,”

Neither is what the Republicans are offering.

“a toxic mix of demagoguery and nonsense,”

Huh…that’s what the Republicans are offering.

Remember how Priebus was going to fix the primary this time around to avoid the craziness that dominated during 2012? L-O-L

So this is now Trump Deranged Syndrome. You are now against whatever you stood for because Trump vociferates same positions. Perry is now “Liberal”.

Krugman reiterates:

Then along comes Trump, who embodies the base’s values, its intellectual outlook, its deep lack of empathy for the unfortunate. And up goes the cry: “Don’t base voters realize that he’s not a serious figure?”

As Krugman recently told Bloomberg News, there’s no difference in substance among the GOP candidates, Trump just isn’t as smooth.

Now Perry is the same guy who just called the President naive, so let’s not put much credence in anything he has to say.
