He knows Rick Perry is getting fit for the next election. It's more about holding what power he has left...the smart weasel.

yep...He's betting that Trump has an adequate debate performance. If Trump wins the debate, he can't come out and endorse after the fact without looking like a pandering fool. Nothing to lose, really.

The Never Trumpers are a pariah upon the party either way.
He wins and they are outcasts; He loses, and they bear the brunt of the blame. In the end it's a No-lose situation for him. It was hardly an inspired, ringing endorsement in the first place.

I don't think so. He garnered a fair amount of support among establishment conservatives and were the shoe on the other foot, he'd have the lion's share of the populist vote that put Trump over to secure the nom.
