Perry: 'I thought it was going to be Jeb Bush and myself'
Washington Examiner ^ | March 27, 2016 | Curt Mills

Posted on 03/27/2016 12:25:28 PM PDT by kevcol

"I thought it was going to be Jeb Bush and myself, two successful governors laying out their vision for America and bumping their records up for each other," Perry said on Fox News. .
.
.
Perry argued Sunday that Cruz would win at a brokered Republican convention.

"You can expect a contested contest at the convention. At that particular point in time, I think there will be a lot of people comfortable that Ted Cruz, the consistent constitutionalist, the consistent conservative, is the best person for us to put forward to beat Hillary Clinton," Perry said.

Contested convention and all hell breaks loose, period. Choose wisely, America.

Well Governor, since you were so kind to drop out as early as you did, if the GOP elites DO manage to install their preferred puppet (Jeb, Mitt or perhaps Paul Ryan), maybe they'll make you the designated VP candidate loser?

You also thought you were going to shove that vaccine crap down out throats, Rick.

How'd that turn out for you?

I knew it wouldn’t be him because whats her face backed him.

She didn’t back Rubio, so he was in play for a while.

Oh the track record of that one...

Perry has been such a disappointment.

You should have quit when your were ahead, Rick.

What a loser.

Sorry Rick, but if you weren’t such a DUNCE-HEAD you’d know that Border Security is the NUMBER ONE ISSUE in this race, and the moment Trump made it his central issue, he was going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Give him a break. There was a third word he wanted to use but forgot it.

“Perry argued Sunday that Cruz would win at a brokered Republican convention.”

NEW TALKING POINT by the GOPe...to give Cruzer’s some hope.

Now back to reality: Cruz is DESPISED by the GOPe and it is THEIR CONVENTION. Cruz will be lucky to receive an admission ticket to the bleachers there, unless he has enough votes to win on the first ballot (same for Trump).

It is statements like this that MAKE IT OBVIOUS that GOPe is USING CRUZ to try to stop Trump...but they will NEVER, EVER, let him be the nominee if he doesn’t win on the first ballot...and that outcome is now next to impossible for Cruz.

A "central issue" once upon a time, but greatly modified since -- to include "touchback amnesty" and more according to the New York Times...

A contested convention, and the GOPe goes the way of the Whigs.

Where’s Perry been? Didn’t he hear that Hillary lost the FBI & NSA lottery? Or is he part of the full court press to confuse the voters into thinking Hillary is inevitably destined for the Oval Office instead of the off in isolation complying withthe requirements of her Petraeus deal to avoid prison?
