He's probably going to run again, but nobody wll take him seriously. If he's lucky, he might get to be flavor of the month again. But I doubt it.

He'd have better off running against Cornyn... I'm sure the Tea Party would rather have him than Stockman...

If he does, he will likely drop out before Iowa and endorse Scott Walker or Jeb Bush maybe.

I actually think Perry may run again, but I don't know if he'll win the nomination.

He is definitely going to run and if he can perform well in a couple of debates he will be a contender.

He is still the ideal GOP candidate on paper, conservative evangelical governor from state with good economic story.

His chance go up for each other prominent person choosing not to run (Bush, Christie, Walker, etc)

A credible bid could improve his reputation but a party that has been dinged for having two many old white guys, dums dums and non-Atlas red staters isn't going to go for an elderly white male Texan who couldn't remember what departments of the Federal government he wanted to cut.

It's just going to be too crowded a field. I don't see him winning against either fresh faces or better-connected old hands.

I actually think he could be very formidable in the primaries, but that seems to be a minority opinion. Obviously he has to fight to earn it... but he's capable.

I don't see him running.  He'll get his moments in the spotlight commenting on how the party needs a true conservative, though (even though he doesn't toe the party line, either).

Perry is already running. I don't think he makes it past Iowa though.

Perry is going to run and the immigration story has already dramatically increased his profile to the point where he's one of the most relevant presidential contenders.

Honestly though, I have no idea how his resurgence is going to translate into the primaries. His hill to climb from 2012 is so large that there's just no way to know how much he needs to rehabilitate his image in order to get people to believe he can actually beat Hillary. If he can't convince people he can, he almost definitely won't win a primary. Perry doesn't have the same crazy devotion from supporters as a Cruz or a Paul.

He looks set to run, but he'll probably flame out by Iowa.

I think some may be underestimating him. But he's still Rick Perry, LOL.

He's running with a 1% chance of being nominated and a 0.1% chance of winning against a Democrat in the general.

He can run, but he makes less sense than Krusty the Klown.

Perry might actually have a better shot this time (no late start) but his 2012 performance means even if he does redeem himself, he's at best the VP nominee.

Same here.

Same here.

Let's face it: He's one of the few candidates that actually has "gravitas" and comes off as authoritative.

I think he's pretty clearly going to run. He's been preparing for 2016 for 3 years now, and will be much better prepared than he was last go around. I suspect that if Walker doesn't win reelection, Perry gets a lot of his supporters. Tea party leaning Republicans who want a governor in the white house won't have a lot of other options. I think he will be formidable in a primary and a general, and he is being greatly underestimated by most on this forum.
