When he first entered politics, Perry was a democrat.
I don’t know the year he switched to Republican, but it was quite a while back..
I sometimes think it is the ones who have switched to Republican after doing some research that understand better what the Republican Party was/is supposed to be…….and, in contrast, some of the GOP lifers Don’t know what the Republican Party should be which is why they’re RINOS.
However, Perry has a few achilles heels that will give some pause.
I know that mega highway “corridor” plan and the cronyism with Merck re: the gardasil vaccine are 2 that I don’t like At All.
However, Anybody but obama.
