Rick Perry's recent gaffe in a Republican candidate debate has taken most of the attention that the media has put on him. Although the average candidate can forget anything at almost any time, Perry's brain just decided to do it at the exact wrong time. This made it easy to destroy him on this event. But this doesn't mean that Perry doesn't have any positives.
Perry is the governor of Texas, a border state. This gives him experience on the immigration issues, including border security. Although Perry doesn't support building a full-border wall, his experience on this issue may give him a lead over other Republican candidates in this field, and maybe over Obama if Perry was selected as the nominee.
Perry is often looked at as too conservative. Being from Texas, he brings up memories from the prevvious administration. Except for those who are tied to the Republican Party, most would view Perry as being extreme on some issues. Because of these two things, many would not support Perry, although they do not have any specific reasons. Rick Perry will have a hard time winning the Republican nomination, and will have a miniscule chance of becoming president if he does.
