The Washington Examiner reports:
Speaking at an education forum in Des Moines Tuesday afternoon, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has suffered from lackluster performances in Republican presidential debates, said flatly, “I hate debates.”
“I hate debates like I used to hate spinning in an aircraft,” said Perry, a former Air Force pilot. “I finally did it and did it and did it, and finally I got better at it.” Perry, who has agreed to take part in five more GOP contests, says he might improve at debating, too.
