>> So he's obviously going to make another presidential run in 2016.
He's sending up to 1,000 National Guard to the border KNOWING that they CANNOT use weapons, and they CANNOT arrest or detain anyone. So it's all just a publicity stunt.I don't like Perry as a governor, so I sure as hell won't vote for him for president.Tt If it comes down to Perry vs Hillary, I will have to vote for a 3rd party candidate.
@Retired_Engineer:
A 3rd party vote is a vote for the dems....
@Mccrj: Not in Texas. As long as more people vote Rep than Dem, the Reps get EVERY Electoral College vote. Essentially, your vote in presidential elections means NOTHING on the national level
@Retired_Engineer:
Right but if more people vote like your going to do, republicans will lose texas and the electoral college will be forced to vote democrat, thats 38 electoral votes going to a democrat. Unfortunately Houston is a democrat city along with austin, san antonio and others. Romney won 57% and obama had 41% of the popular vote. With all the people from other states moving to Texas this margin is shrinking. 4951
