Perry: Trump a cancer on conservatism, I won't stay silent on his mean-spirited politics
http://hotair.com ^ | July 22, 2015

I’ll quote a little but you’re better off reading the whole thing. There’ll be lots of media noise around it for the next few days, especially after Trump responds. And it’s a fine indictment of Hopenchange even apart from the Trump stuff. He’s trying to do two things here, picking a fight with the media’s favorite candidate to gain some reflected exposure and re-introducing himself to righties who disdain Trump but aren’t sure which way to go yet as an alternative. This is Perry telling Trump-haters, of which there are many, that their choices aren’t between Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz.

By the way, when was the last time one candidate attacked another this extensively this early in a primary? You can imagine that in the context of a primary challenge to an incumbent president, where the insurgent wants to make a comprehensive case against the tenure of the man in charge, but I can’t recall an example in an open field like this one.

In times of trouble, there are two types of leaders: repairers of the breach and sowers of discord.

The sower of discord foments agitation, thrives on division, scapegoats certain elements of society, and offers empty platitudes and promises. He is without substance when one scratches below the surface.

He offers a barking carnival act that can be best described as Trumpism: a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued. That’s just the warm-up.

Donald Trump is the modern-day incarnation of the know-nothing movement.

Mr. 2% Rick Perry, still throwing a hissy fit because Trump said he wears those birth control glasses to look smart. Hopefully this idiot will remain at 2% in the polls and be no where near the debate stage in two weeks. He would do the exact same thing he did with Frank Klutz, ignore the initial question from the moderator and launch into a full-throtted, screaming attack on Trump like he just like an 8 year old when someone steals all his marbles.

Whatever else you have to say about Donald Trump, you have to admit he has all the right enemies and he adds to his collection every single day.

Rick Perry’s most notable achievement is being Governer of an economic powerhouse and being content to merely take a few eggs for himself rather than kill the golden goose.

Mr. Gardasil should stick to important issues and tell folks how he is going to lead this country away from vice and self indulgence and towards real freedom.

Perry is right up there with Graham and Pataki. He should be advised that he is being used as a dancing bear by the msm.

Go home Rick, 2012 is way over.

Righties who disdain Trump, huh? Yean, all six of them.

No one who truly wants this country back will not appreciate how Trump has fearlessly exposed the truth and how he manhandles the media.

Some on the right may not care for DT, but disdain? No.

Because calling someone ‘a cancer’ isn’t mean spirited. Or something.

Perry is showing his true Establishment/Globalist colors....

I expect this from a guy that wears glasses to project the image that he is smart.

No Perry... You and your Establishment/Globalist buddies are a cancer on conservatism.

Looks like Gardisil Rick is desperate to make the FNC debate stage by any means necessary.

Well that is a relief!

Calling someone a cancer is not mean-spirited politics.
