Sen. Ted Cruz is proving to be a "disciplined" campaigner and "a leader with a real plan," but Donald Trump and Sen. Marco Rubio lack "consistency" on the big issues including guns and immigration, GOP presidential primary dropout Rick Perry says.
In a radio interview with conservative radio host Simon Conway in Iowa, the former Texas governor — who dropped his own White House bid in September — heaped praise on Cruz for his "wily" and "wise" performance in the fifth GOP presidential candidates' debate in Las Vegas.
Audio of the interview was posted by Buzz Feed News.
"I think as the caucuses come into view, as they come into focus if you will, the Iowa voter is going to really require some specificity: 'Tell us how you're gonna get this economy back. Tell us how you're going to address with specificity,'" Perry said....

Bingo! If you remember, Perry absolutely scorched Trump, and in doing so, he deep fried his own run for president. Cruz’s positions are not so far away from Trump’s the Perry should feel about the same for him as he does Trump. But you are right, there is the Texas connection which means Perry might be thinking of snagging a high level position if he plays his cards right. And Perry does have some bragging rights over his handling of the Texas economy for ten years.
How petty both of you are.
boo-hoo
Ted Cruz doesn’t need to be damned with La Raza shill praise. Go away Rick.
La Raza Rick deep fried all presidential runs he might make when he was Governor of Texas.
Give Trump credit or condemnation for things he actually has done.
Trump didn’t put his hand on his heart? Just like Obama. Bad optics.
Speaking of how close Cruz and Trump are on the issues, when Trump announced I wrote down every position he took. Every single one was a position already taken by Cruz. I remember wondering why he was running instead of supporting Ted. There were only two Cruz positions that Trump didn’t adopt, protecting religious liberty and abolishing the IRS.
You can easily see the others are into it. Trump not so much.
Surprised he could remember 3 candidates names.
You know if you’re going to play with Photoshop you should take Ted’s hand out so he doesn’t look like Napoleon.
Yep, only allegiance Trump is concerned about is himself and his net worth.
Not surprised. People soon forget Trump was a dimocrat just 6 years ago.
As close to an endorsement as you’re going to get short of a formal one.
He’s interested in three positions, but he can only remember two of them. :)
BINGO!!!!!
“I don’t know what he believes in” — Perry
That is strange.
Liberals, the MSM, and RINOs seem to know exactly what he believes in. Cruz supporters even know what is in the secret recesses of his mind.
Me too
That is just one screen shot. His hand was up most of the time. However, what’s with Cruz with his hand inside his coat?
