Donald Trump flirted with a presidential candidacy earlier this year and decided not to go for the gold. But the New York billionaire this afternoon expressed admiration for another high-profile Republican currently flirting with a presidential run: Rick Perry.
In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Trump praised the Texas governor, as well as active GOP White House candidate Michele Bachmann and possible contender Sarah Palin.
“I do know the governor of Texas,” Trump told Blitzer. “He’s a very interesting candidate, I think, a very interesting candidate.”

Perry did NOT MANDATE Gardisil....STOP THE LIES!!!
Do you NOT remeber the PANIC that was spread by the media back then????? geesh.....
Love your Perry articles........I think I’m warming up to the idea. :)
LLS
I think you’re just toying with me. =^D
About half the population is too.
There is an increase in oral cancer and a lot of it comes from oral sex the kids are having from the wonderful illustration Hillary Clinton's husband Bill Clinton so casually advertised for the world and children to see, where his sycophants in the media and education lapped it up. So I am not going to say Rick Perry was awful to want to protect women and young girls if it was possible to prevent this cancer (any strains of it - and oral or cervical). There is going to be an explosion of health care costs and this cancer will be among them. His idea to do good was at odds with what was politically correct but the legislature blocked his EO. They're responsible for not having the vaccine available. Was it the right thing to do? Time will tell.
Rick Perry is just what we need right now. His strong state's independence / anti-federal government stand and policies are SO unlike the Obama socialist administration and unlike most national politicians in recent years. That is why I think many people don't "get" Rick Perry yet. He is not like what they are used to in today's national politics.
By the way, did you know that after speaking with Rick Perry about what Texas does for small businesses, that Glenn Beck decided to put his new internet / TV adventure (about 150 employees to start, I think) in Texas and is personally moving to a Dallas, TX suburb?
Yes, I would really like to see if Governor Perry can get what he has done for Texas transferred to the national level!
Do you want Sarah Palin to run for president?
I've never contributed to Perry.
I heard him for a bit today on the car radio talking about Texas. Beck said if you want to move your business to Texas you better do it soon before Obama and his henchmen (my word) block business from leaving other states as it is hurting their economies a la Boeing trying to open a plant (not even moving just opening a new plant) in S.C.
In the past we would have laughed at that, but we can't anymore.
I thought I understood what you said there, but now I don’t.
Your quotation marks are wrongly used which leads to the confusion. Unfortunately, if you are like me you don’t see them as well anymore.
It's time to follow Perry's lead and TAKE A STAND and not flinch each time someone goes "boo!"
The more I've researched Rick Perry the more I've found smoke and mirrors and downright lies about him and his motives and his positions.
FWIW:Someone told me they saw someone on the great American Panel of high GOP clout on Hannity supposedly say that there is a GOP process that all that are even thinking about running have gone through. A vetting sort of process all have to do each time and that Palin has not contacted them. They supposedly guessed Palin is not running. So unless Palin is going real rogue/third party; she may not be running.
Oh from what I’m hearing, Obama has been doing everything he can to pull Texas’s state success down for quite sometime now and has been at odds with Rick Perry as its governor big time.
Obama turned his head when Texas had raging wildfires that were threatening the entire state and Texas lost millions of acres from those wildfires a few months ago. It barely made the national news even, MSM backing Obama, I’m sure.
Obama is also furious at Governor Perry for figuring out a way to get around Obama’s EPA takeover of citizen’s rights,that light bulb federal mandate, lending ‘light’ (no pun intended but noticed, lol) to how much Governor Perry wants to diminish the EPA’s size and power.
Those two buck heads all the time, it seems!
For Governor Perry to build such a free market for business growth and jobs on the state level is SOOOO opposite than Obama’s “spread the wealth” idea!
And I just think that if Governor Perry could take that kind of “free market without government interference” theme to the national level, our country would begin prospering once again as a... the financial leader of the world!
Yea CW, I can certainly see what Glenn Beck was saying about moving businesses to Texas before Obama tries to stop them. The growth in Texas that has been protected by Governor Perry’s stand for ‘freedom to grow and prosper’ just doesn’t make it in Obama’s socialist book!
I heard a snip of an interview about the upcoming Fox Debate in Ames and they were saying they needed something from Perry about his candidacy (I don’t have the exact terms) to get him in the debate.
They really want Perry in the Fox debate but it looks like he’s going to be in South Carolina (?) — everything is getting bunched up. He’s going to, or is in NH now for meet and greets like they do in Iowa.
Personally, I don’t know how anyone could wait any longer to enter. It costs SO much to run and to get staff and organization and on and on — and to line up the money — it HAS to be done.
