Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry is endorsing Ted Cruz in the Republican presidential primary, Perry told POLITICO in an interview Sunday night.
Perry, who also sought the GOP nomination before dropping out in September, said he now sees the race as one that is between Cruz, a fellow Texan, and Donald Trump. Through phone calls and during a December day spent driving around his Round Top, Texas, home in his truck with Cruz, Perry said he found the senator to be a good listener who respects the Tenth Amendment, "knows what he does not know" and is more conservative than Trump.
"Of those individuals who have a chance to win the Republican primary, at this juncture, from my perspective, Ted Cruz is by far the most consistent conservative in that crowd," Perry said. "And that appears to be down to two people."
Perry, who is famously skilled at retail politics, will campaign with Cruz Tuesday across Iowa, and will join Iowa GOP Rep. Steve King to stump for Cruz again Wednesday. Perry and King will both join Cruz at a Des Moines rally Wednesday night.
The endorsement gives Cruz the blessing of the longest-serving governor in Texas history, just as the senator faces intensifying heat from other veteran politicians, including from his colleagues in Washington, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole.

The Republicans have both the Senate and the House of Representatives and it's been the best think to help Obama push his agenda through. Thanks to Republican like the drunk John Boehner or the compromised Paul Ryan.
Doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results is stupid and insane.
Wake up McFly!!!!
Sorry, I was just responding.
i’ll get right on it!!
i wonder if she helps, hurts or neither in the general.
Rick Perry is for Open Borders, Rigged Trade Treaties, Endless War, War in Syria and massive deficits that will bankrupt future generations.
In other words he is an Establishment/Globalist Pig from the Bush wing of the Republican party.
The only worst endorsement Cruz could received would be from Jeb.
I do understand.
You got that right.
: )
You don’t miss a beat - you’ve been a consistent anti-Perry propagandist.
ROFLMAO that Rick Perry is a Conservative?
Do you even know what is a conservative? Open Borders, rigged trade deals, starting endless wars, creating massive debt and expanding government is NOT conservative.
That IS Rick Perry.
Since you didn’t comment on your OP with the usual dictates of ‘how’ to read and interpret the article, they were left without direction.
"Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) (L) and Texas Governor Rick Perry stand together during a press conference at the front gate of Fort Hood."
Interesting. But Louisa’s father was an American merchant so according to Cruz she should be considered an American citizen at birth.
Melania will be the first true foreign first lady. She has a degree in design and architecture and is fluent in English, French, Slovenian, Serbian, and German.
dont pick on Ted!!
this thing’s all but over and he lost me with the NY thing but it was a last shot at winning other states.
just because Trump is a good pick doesn’t mean Ted is a bad pick.
at least to me. he should keep his dignity and live to fight another day.
I just state the facts.
Just because they are in the Republican Party does not mean they are conservatives.
Too many people simply vote for the Republicans thinking they are going to get a conservative.
If that was the case, then the Obama agenda would have been stopped 2 years ago when the Republicans won both houses of congress.
George Romney, Barry Goldwater, John McCain were all born outside the “United States”, but all were born to parents who were both American Citizens at the time. None of them had dual citizenship. Ted Cruz would be the first to be born in a foreign country of only an American mother, and the first to have had dual citizenship. But, hey, the Constitution is a living document, so that is OK!
It’s true, It’s true, Trump supporters probably aren’t Conservative. Unfortunately, thanks largely to Conservatives caving to every godless Progressive/Socialist/Communist and now Muslim perversion of our government there is nothing left to conserve! The bloated bureaucracy needs to be ripped out by its roots and replaced with a real Republic, and it will take someone who is a real American and who knows how to tear things down and build things up again.
Now, I am a Bible-thumping Revelations person who will tell you all that the Great Sign in the Heavens of Revelation 12:1-2 is going to actually, really, literally happen September 23-24, 2017. So the time is very short before all Hell breaks loose on the Earth.
As to whether one has to be a “Godly man” to be YHWH’s agent of change, take another look at the Book of Judges. When the Israelites were being oppressed by the Philistines, YHWH raised up Sampson to bring down the temple of Dagan. Sampson didn’t drink, had bad hair, ran around after women and killed people if they didn’t treat him fairly. Sound familiar?
So don’t be so quick to judge whose “Godly” and who is not. Read your Bible and Pray!
............Jose MedellÃn and five other young men brutally raped and murdered Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena, two teenagers from Houston, Texas, in June 1993, when the two girls stumbled upon the men's gang initiation on their way home.
Within three hours of his arrest, Medellin admitted to the crimes with which he had been charged and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued him a death sentence. However, MedellÃn appealed his execution, saying he informed the police he was a Mexican national, but was never given the chance to confer with the Mexican consulate.
..........."Frankly, it was at this moment that was my final straw with George W. Bush," Beck said. "It was at this moment that I said, 'There's something wrong here. This guy is not who we think he is.'"
After Texas had already denied MedellÃn's request and the International Court's appeal, the case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to battle the president's request.
"So Governor Rick Perry and Texas, again, said 'no' to Bush and the International Court," Beck said. "It became Medellin v. Texas."
[Ted] Cruz, the 37-year-old solicitor general of Texas at the time, argued the case for the state, "against the brutal killer, Mexico, and the International Court, and George W. Bush."
In the end, the Supreme Court ruled only Congress had the power to order hearings to be held, and in July 2008, Medellin was executed.
"Along with Rick Perry, it was Ted Cruz who saw that it was justice that was served against the full-frontal efforts and attacks of George W. Bush," Beck concluded.
The first 9 presidents of the U.S. were foreign-born, so he would be the 10th.

Your post was too long. I did not read it.
Try to be succinct if you have something to say.
If you are a Trump supporter, however, you really have nothing to say anyway.
But thanks for being a pseudo-Conservative with no principles, moral fiber or balls.
