HOUSTON, Texas — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today released the following statement in response to the announcement that former Texas Gov. Rick Perry has suspended his campaign for President:
“Gov. Rick Perry is a friend and a remarkable public servant. He is a proud veteran who bravely served our nation, and he was an extraordinary governor of Texas. As Texas Solicitor General, it was an honor to serve under him.
“Because of his principled leadership as the longest-serving governor in the state’s history, Texas has become a haven for freedom, entrepreneurship, and limitless opportunity. The entire Republican field was unquestionably made stronger by the experience and wisdom he brought to the race.
“In honor of his passion for our veterans, Heidi and I have today made a personal contribution to both the Lone Survivor Foundation and the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation, in honor of Rick and Anita Perry, and we encourage everyone else to do the same.”
“We wish Governor Perry, Anita, Griffin, and Sydney the very best in what is certain to be decades of continued service to our Nation.”

Mr. Cruz, you are indeed a classier man than me.
This is class. Who knows there may be a place for Perry
in a Cruz administration...
Class act.
BRILLIANT response...... (as usual)..
No snark or even a la de da..
Cruz is a classy fellow
classy. but the grammar is a bit hackneyed.
Ted Cruz...total class
I love Ted, but somehow I sense i will enjoy Trump’s response much more :)
Hey, you can change your tagline now!
And I suspect it will be along the lines of “Don’t the door hit ya in the ass on the way out, ya loser!”
Looking forward to it...
One down ...
After 8 years of gifting slobs, it would be wonderful to have such grace and class restored to the White House.

How about if Rick just goes out and works a real job instead.
Class act.
...cleaning toilets with his toothbrush.
HIT THE FM HIGHWAY, JACK!
I like Cruz, but not OK with his support of fast track trade — why give more power to the Halfrican homo usurper squatting in the White Hut. Also, he’s not a fan of the border fence. I worry his Cuban heritage betrays him on immigration.
