Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday gave a puzzling response to Donald Trumps assertion that he is dropping out of the presidential race.
You know, a broken clock is right once a day, Perry told Fox Newss Gretchen Carlson.
The saying, typically used to describe someone who finally gets something right, is "a broken clock is right twice a day."
The bottom line is Im still here and Im still working and we need to be talking about solutions and not just rhetoric out there, Perry later added. Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, said Thursday during a press conference in New York that Perry is getting out of the race.
Perry attacked me; now hes getting out of the race, Trump said. He was at 4 or 5 percent, now hes getting out of the race, he was at zero.
Perrys campaign has been struggling in recent weeks, with fundraising woes forcing him to lay off paid staffers. His Iowa chairman quit the campaign and joined Trumps.
The former Texas governor, like other GOP candidates, has traded barbs with Trump in public.
Perry has previously called for Trump to drop out of the race and compared him to cancer.
Trump said that Perry should have been forced to take an IQ test in order to qualify for the first Republican primary debate.
I agree. There is good he could do, but he’s just spinning his wheels now.
I’d like to see him be a full time advocate for veterans and take on the VA health care debacle. Do it as a private citizen, not as a politician. As a veteran himself, I think that would be a good fit.
Great example of why Gardisil Rick — who on paper should be a great candidate — can never catch on.
He’s just plain dumb...
Perry: As far as my opponent Mr. Trump, a clock is right twice a day. There's a.m., and then there is uh...uh...uh...uh...uh...uh..uh....uh...uh..
LOL, you brute! B^)
Perry was in the Air Force and was likely referring to a military clock.
A sixth of one, a dozen of another.
“A broken military clock is correct ONCE, a day..”...
Problem with a military clock is, the hands have to go around twice to be correct ONCE a day.
Too stupid to be President even if he wasn’t a cheap labor importer
It’s a military clock?
A stopped clock is right twice a day not a broken clock. Even the article got it wrong.
When you are running for president and the only news you can make is to say you are not dropping out...
Rick, if you’re reading this please take note!
You will NEVER, EVER be POTUS.
You will NEVER, EVER be POTUS.
You will NEVER, EVER be POTUS.
Good point. A broken clock could keep perfect time, just have a busted cuckoo bird! 8^)
Rick Perry might not be dropping out ...but his campaign is going nowhere......just a matter of time!!!
Rick Perry who wants us to subsidize college tuition for children of illegals, that Rick Perry? I have no use for anyone who loves illegals. Bush, Rubio, Kasich, Perry are crossed off on my list for that reason.
