wow this is extremely rude and wrong

Never forget.

Texas governor Rick Perry Friday showed America a new persona that is both more laid back and more souped up than prior Perrys.

same

I kind of want these same chumps/chimps to run every time. This is a reality show I can really get behind.

Perry at #cpac: Conservative govs common denominator in relatively robust states."No 2 states lost more income to others as NY&CA." @nro

So he's...bragging that under his leadership Texas remained dependent on income redirected from New York and California? Both of which are ranked less dependent on the federal government (#6 and #20) than Texas (#24)?

and each time Perry shows off a new persona and glasses

apparently all it takes to be the intellectual of the republican field is glasses and a necktie of muted color

sounds abt right

ha wow lol that is some strong thought from perry

i rarely read the corner, but if they keep running stuff like this i'm gonna go all the way and BOOKMARK IT

Here’s the visual package in a blowup of the above picture, from Perry’s appearance with National Review’s Jim Geraghty. You can’t see Perry’s sensible shoes, but he’s working a subdued, knees-together posture, modestly leaning in to his interlocutor, fully committed to the pursuit of better solutions.

he looks like he's just sat on his balls

I'd buy the reality show but only if there's a certain number of wild card slots so you can cycle the duds out. I mean, I am 100% fine with not seeing Steve Forbes running for president anymore.

man i never change my display name but sometimes, sometimes it's hard

The Corner's gonna get interesting again starting this fall.

There's a good joke hidden in there somewhere, I've been working on it for a few weeks. Stripped down it goes:

My favorite tv-show is clearly 'Republican Primary'. Sucks they can only make a new season every four years.

Ba-dum-tjih!

loool

President Ted Cruz in action:

http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/03/politics/ted-cruz-joe-biden-joke-apology/index.html

the lolz, there are too many

some beautiful clouds on this website https://rickperry.org

Perry specifically requested them now that he wore glasses and could see them iirc

lol video is 100% white people

just like his base

i secretly hope he wins the nom so u guys can know the joys of voting against him

seems like "ted cruz is a huge asshole" has been the underlying theme to his whole career, funny if being a crass prick to joe biden will cement it in the press's mind rather than, like, personally shutting the federal government and getting nothing for it.

Mainstream media loves their false equivalences, so they're trying to make the Dems primary seem like the Republicans one, though this piece is mainly about quoting poll data to beat up on Hillary.

Rick Perry is no Ronald Reagan, unless you limit the comparison to IQ.

it's gonna be awesome in 2024 when there's finally another real contest for the democratic nominee.

against Cory Booker? dream on

feel like it's just a little too premature to crown cory booker for 2024

but he's a queen already

i'm imagining de blasio will be a part of it as well. plus he's really tall

already have Hilshit in for 2 terms, huh guys

Christ, you are bigger hopelessniks than i am

plus i imagine Senator Warren will be persuaded to run vs President Walker in 2020.

I think Hillary's gonna win this, I'm not willing to prognosticate farther than that - things are too unpredictable

Why would Sen. Warren run in 2020 if Hillary's still around?

if she does win in 2016 she'll have huge incumbent advantages going into 2020 including a powerful political machine that will only grow more powerful from 4 years of hillary WH, and there's still no indication that the republicans can put together a compelling candidate tho obv that could change quickly especially if they lose in 2016 and decide to switch the emphasis of the party towards someone more electable.

Someone more electable than Hillary? Not quite reading you here.

republicans are fine with controlling congress and having a puncher's chance at the white house

Someone more electable than the current slate. A Hillary WH disaster plus slightly more reasonable Republican candidate could mean she loses in 2020 is what I'm saying.

the problem with, and im sure ive said this before here, republicans switching the emphasis of the party to something more electable is theyre still very electable on the congressional level due to unfair structural elements, and its not possible for them to change their pitch on the presidential level without also changing in on the congressional level, which will not happen until they start to lose congress too, and even then theyd still have to deal w the fact that the majority of their base wld freak the f out if they say became slightly less racist

yep

i mean im sure theyd like to control both but its just not possible rn

Hillary Rodham Clinton is who I have in mind, just to clarify. Not this HIllary who could lose in 2020, whoever that is.

which is not to say they cant win the presidency just that all things being equal theyre at a disadvantage

but Mordy, what about the tens of thousands dead from coastal flooding in 2017-2020?

you guys are gonna be playing horserace til your kids ask you why the hell you gave them this world, i guess
