Rick Perry Endorses Ted Cruz [Updated with the Video]
Red State ^ | January 25, 2016 | Dan Spencer

I'm here to stress to you how important it is for Conservatives to rally together and support a consistent conservative candidate who will take on Washington who will defeat the Democrat nominee.

That's why I support Ted Cruz for president.

[. . .]

He has proven that he is ready to serve as our commander and chief on day one.

He has also proved a willingness to take on the Washington cartel and restore power and opportunity back to the people.

He has proven he will do what is necessary to secure our borders, to defeat radical Islamic terrorism and to ensure that our brave veterans receive the care they have earned.

Ted is the leader we need to reignite the promise of America. That's why I'm supporting Ted Cruz and asking Iowa Republicans to caucus for Cruz next Monday, February the first...

In before the hardcores who trash and destroy like their leader. I saw this coming a long time ago. The only endorsements I think have any impact are the kind Cruz has who do not just say something but are out in the trenches talking with those in their community.
Palin lost all the Cruz supporters, which means ultimately loss of revenue for her.

"Dear Ted....I need a job. "

You're out of luck unless you want to join the army and take endless rotations. Jobs are not on his mind, he wants to be a war time President.

He doesn’t need a job. He’s retired. Which makes this endorsement all the more sweet!

I wish Don Willet could endorse but state supreme court justices generally don’t.

It won't budge the needle. Perry's been long forgotten. Texas has a better governor now.

Notice how fast this endorsement came after Beck’s endorsement.

Can you say the Cruz campaign is looking to get rid of the stench
Becks endorsement brought.

Where Beck was a F grade endorsement.

Perry is a C Grade endorsement.

Better than Beck, but not by much.

I have always liked Rick Perry, he just couldn’t relate nationally, Scott Walker also VERY good but could not relate nationally!! Perry was a good governor but Abbot is a GREAT governor!!!

The GOPe said Cruz couldn’t get any governors to endorse him. He just got the longest sitting governor in Texas history to endorse Ted Cruz for President 2016! This is YUUUGGGGEEE!!!!

“”If you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they have been brought there by no fault of their own, I don’t think you have a heart,” Perry said at the Republican presidential debate hosted by Fox News and Google.”

That Rick Perry endorsed Cruz?

Interesting.

It's a nice get for Cruz. Will make any difference? Who can say. Probably better to have it than not.

This is a contrast to the Beck endorsement, which may have done more harm than good.
