Rick Perry (R) told the Daily Caller that governors are much better suited for the presidency than senators.
Said Perry: “Governors have to make choices every day. Governors are judged on the results of what we do. Senators talk.”
He added: “United States senators, by choosing to go into that line of work, don’t get to do that. They don’t get to learn, or to exhibit their leadership ability and have clear results of their actions.”
