The statement that Perry links to in that tweet goes on to savage Trump's "fundamental misunderstanding of border security" and note: "Mr. Trump has done nothing to prove that he is the president America needs.
Them's fighting words -- or at least that's what Perry and his team have to hope.
The reality of the 2016 race for second-tier-and-below candidates like Perry is that Trump is soaking up lots and lots of the available oxygen in the race right now. And, they badly need that oxygen. The key for anyone not named "Bush", "Rubio", "Walker" or "Cruz" at this point in the race is to find a way to get attention from the media, from donors and from activists. That's been true in politics forever but is even more the case in a very crowded field with 15 or 16 other people in the running....

Donald says Rick perry has failed miserably at securibng the Texas border. I have to agree. Perhaps, instead of ad hominem attacks, Mr. Perry would like to respond to Donald’s “heartless” comment?
Cruz sunk in the latest FNC poll. Walker stays strong.
Looking at the latest FOX poll looks more like Trump has pretty well eliminated Texas other favorite son for his friend Cruz
Rick Who?
Rick Perry is brooding in his matching sombrero and serape.
John McCain is GOPeeing all over the Senate.
Lindsey Graham is having fainting spells.
Chris Chrisie is wasting his lapband w/ compulsive eating.
George Pataki is up in Dannemora looking for an escape route.
Rick Perry of Porous Border Fame. He’s almost in the “Act of Love” camp.
Remember:
John McCain - member of the CRF
Rick Perry - Member of the CFR
Be so advised.
Guv Goodhair proving once again that he’s as dumb as McCain.
So it’s “smart” to out yourself as a cheap labor importer?
Anybody who has paid attention knows who is owned by The Cheap Labor Express and who isn’t.
¡Yeb!, Rubberio, Grahamnesty, Perry, Kasich, Pataki, Fiorina, Christie are all Cheap Labor Express candidates.
The only way the GOP can lose this election is with a amnesty candidate......
Go ¡Yeb!
Idiot. The best way to get publicity AND the base is to agree with Trump AND double down on the rhetoric...he’s a Texan geesh.
How’s Scott doing in the real early competition, fundraising? Fox is Scott Herbert WALKER Bush country.
Trump to LaRaza Rick: Shoo fly.
Rick Who?...Here ya go.
Cruz is a lock for the debate stage, so that’s not an issue. The strategic win for Cruz would be to take Perry out.
This is pathetic.
Gov.Perry had lots of opportunity to do something to stop the Mexican invasion. Such as build a fence inside TX, or stop and wrangle up illegal aliens using the Texas Rangers. But no, instead he did not because industries in Texas wanted to exploit cheap labor and his buds, the Bushes, wouldn’t have liked that one bit.
He sure wanted to build a throughway to Canada thru TX. I’m sure he jumped the starter’s pistol on that, concerning the Canada-Mexico-USA Federation. He has always struck me as being kinda’ simple minded; not stupid, just better at something else fruitful, like ranching.
Now he has decided to go after Trump, and I suspect the Bush family put him up to it.
He talks the talk but I don’t see him walking the walk. I will give him my vote for most improved candidate since the 2012 primary election but that’s about it. I lived in Texas for all of his tenure as Lt. Governor and much of his tenure as Governor incidentally. He failed miserably at the border. he can blame the federal government for some of it but not all of it.
Oh - THAT Rick!
The one who spit on American citizen college students from other States who had to pay out of state tuition while illegal aliens paid in-state tuition in Tejas. Er, Texas.
Now I remember.
Perry just floated his boat over the horizon. Let me see. The College Cheer Leader held on as governor of a border state OVER RUN with illegals and did nothing!@! Under his watchful eyes Texas has 5 Sanctuary cities with nary a peep from this cheer leader. He is at 1% and falling like a rock.
He’s going nowhere in this race. I doubt Trump will get to take him on in the debate since he will likely not be on the stage.
