Such hopes were false and foolish. Anyone who watched his '14 campaign would know this.

The GOP are the Goldilocks of government. Federal gov and city gov bad, but state government is always right. I'm sure that has nothing to do with how Dems perform well nationally at the presidential level and locally in city governments.

He hasn't done anything corrupt. Let's be fair.

This word hurts my eyes. The term he is looking for is Californication.

Perry at least knew to support some rational policies, like in-state tuition for the undocumented tbh

I initially ranked him as my 35th favorite governor. What was I thinking?? Definitely bottom 5, probably bottom 3 with Cuomo and Scott. Didn't think it could get worse than Rick Perry, but evidently, with Perry not being the worst Presidential candidate from Texas compounded with this, my image of him is at an all-time high.
