Rick Perry Drops out of Presidental Race

Rick Perry is calling it quits on his 2016 White House bid.
The former Texas governor told the Eagle Forum in St. Louis, Missouri on Friday afternoon that he is suspending his presidential campaign.
“We have a tremendous field – the best in a generation – so I step aside knowing our party is in good hands, and as long as we listen to the grassroots, the cause of conservatism will be too.”
"That is why today I am suspending my campaign for the presidency of the United States," he said, adding that he has "no regrets" about his run.

Re: Rick Perry Drops out of Presidental Race
I think his exit speech was generally good but how can he say they have a good field with Trump in there? I mean really.“We have a tremendous field – the best in a generation – so I step aside knowing our party is in good hands,
Yes there are some good people in the field but when you have one elephant in the room as bad as Trump is it kind of screws everything up.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Re: Rick Perry Drops out of Presidental Race
What do you have against Trump? He hates liberals and darkies, and speaks his mind with no regard for political correctness. Is it because he isn't a fundie?JohnStOnge wrote:I think his exit speech was generally good but how can he say they have a good field with Trump in there?

The fact that people like GATW buys his act says a lot about how easily it is to pull the wool over everyone's eyes in a Presidential campaign.OL FU wrote:He is a liberal.Grizalltheway wrote:

2016 is going to be one entertaining clusterfuck.
Trump is still going to run as a third party candidate to split the GOP vote.
Sanders is going to run as an independent and split the Democrat vote.
And the mainstream media is going to get their dream matchup of Bush-Clinton.

Re: Rick Perry Drops out of Presidental Race
At this point once again. I am having a struggle finding any one I like. I said many times I wish Paul was stronger. Wish he hadn't come across as more of a kid than an adult. If I can't have a more libertarian candidate then I will take a more practical one . I have conservative views but I don't believe throwing the baby out with the bath water accomplishes anything so the real hard right candidates don't usually do much for me. At this point it would probably be kasich. But still a long time to decide.Jjoey52 wrote:Please don't tell me you like Jeb the Rino
I have always thought this bush would be better than the last bush but he'll that ain't saying much .
Re: Rick Perry Drops out of Presidental Race
Don't count Carson out yet. He is one chill negro and he would bring enough of his homies' votes to tap into a lost Republican demographic. Throw Fiorina in as the veep and you have a dream ticket.

Re: Rick Perry Drops out of Presidental Race
Jindal will probably go next, perhaps in an act of self-immolation in front of the Trump Tower.

You really got me craving a Slurpee now.
Is Jindal running? Serious question.

I asked The Donald, and he said he was the only one running for President, R, D or I.
