Former Texas governor, Rick Perry denounced his colleague Ted Cruz and officially sided with Donald Trump.
Perry appeared on ABC’s The View and shocked the country when he did not side with Cruz who hails from his state.
Texas loyalty has helped the Cruz campaign for some time and this change is a massive defeat for Lyin’ Ted. At first, Perry seemed reluctant to fully praise Donald. He specified that some of Trump’s brash insults worry him and he wishes Donald could adopt a more “serious” tone. However, Trump’s positives clearly outweigh his occasional outbursts because Perry formally told reporters that at the end of the day he would vote Trump!
Perry continued to warn viewers about the risky policies Clinton is proposing. As a strong republican, Rick believes that Clinton’s need to empower Washington and strengthen the federal government could crush the American way.
Cruz has yet to comment on the betrayal. Certainly, the Trump Train is happy to welcome any newcomer to the campaign. Donald is prepared to change the country and he wants each and every citizen to help him make America great again!
I would hardly characterize it as betrayal. Perry is familiar with Cruz after all
To know Lying Ted Cruz is to hate him.
Another cabinet member
This is it! Trump’s poll numbers will tank now, I tell ya!
This is big news. I am kind of surprised in a way.
WOW! Is this a fact? I may change my view on Perry, if so.
Back when, I donated money to Rick Perry’s legal fund when he was battling that campaign of destruction against him, and did give money to his run in Texas. Later, I sort of turned on him regarding his attack on Trump and his “he shot a bullet through John McCain’s heart” thing when Rick went after Donald.
But if this is true, if he endorses Trump, heck, I will welcome that and he’s ok by me.
Y’know, I’ve seen this post of yours for months, and it still cracks me up every time I see it!
Ted is not liked much by those that have worked with him.
Not to worry. Ted’s ground game is right on top of this.
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
A lot of folks must feel conflicted.
Perry was the guy many of the Cruz supporters were thrilled with in 2012.
Now this one kicks my...
Truly a shocker since it was reported that Perry was supposed to have refused to release some delegate to Trump. What that was all about I dont know-I never looked into it.
This is interesting. It gets wilder by the day.
Like one other FReeper says-BEST ELECTION EVER!
I’m amazed! Perry endorsed Cruz back in January and Cruz has bragged about it:

Has Perry officially unendorsed cRuz?
So why did he go on the View in the 1st place? That is truly the belly of the beast!
I don’t give the endorsers much credit.
Christy is still Christy.
Perry is still Perry.
While I appreciate their endorsement of Trump, they are still who they have always been.
I do give them credit for seeing that Cruz isn’t headed anywhere other than to move the deck chairs.
This reeks of political desperation. But very much expected.
Boehner’s attack on Cruz after Trump’s massive recent primary win seems to have been an “it’s-OK-signal” that’s precipitated a near-avalanche of endorsements by current and former members of Congress.
I think Ted Bush is screwing himself for 2018 by doing what he is doing.
I have a friend that has known/worked with cRuz, since he was Solicitor General of TX. He said no one likes cRuz, or has ever had anything positive to say about him. He said cRuz looks at everything through a “what’s best for cRuz” filter.
