Rick Perry Just Announced He will not run for Re-Election For Texas Governor...Is he setting up for 2016 Presidential run or to avoid a Blue Texas Win?
Texas will probably be a swing state in 2016 while NC, VA, FL, OH, and CO will be solidly blue. It's possible we may see Hillary win by a much larger landslide than did Obama. Hillary might also contest Arkansas. It's a red state but they love the Clintons there.
Perry won't run. He's too arrogant, thus he really hates to lose. He may be dumb, but his advisers are not. He knows he has no chance in hell in Texas or nationally.
It was generally expected that Perry would not run for another term as Governor of Texas - Greg Abbott will be the next Governor of Texas.
I wouldn't be so sure. I wouldn't underestimate how angry people are with incumbents.
I am by no means implying a Democrat, but people will likely be much more willing to listen to an outsider this time.
