Former Texas governor, Rick Perry denounced his colleague Ted Cruz and officially sided with Donald Trump.
Perry appeared on ABCs 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 Trumps brash insults worry him and he wishes Donald could adopt a more serious tone. However, Trumps 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 Clintons 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!
Thanks. I didn’t realize it was Kathy Lee. The daughter looks like her Dad, Frank.
“Perry appeared on The View.” That automatically disqualified his opinion.
Interesting!
We can hope
I’m sure you’re aware there are two types of Trump supporters:
1. The abysmally ignorant and stupid who don’t know a single word with more than tbree syllables (that’s why they like Trump).
2. The chronically and criminally dishonest, who will post articles like this knowing they are mis-stating the facts, and realizing the other half of their Trump comrades are too stupid to realize it.
Really, does any sane intelligent person believe Perry endorsed Trump in this fake story?
No! It is a fake story. Perry endorsed Cruz, but said he would vote Trump if it comes down to Donald vs Hillary.
The Cruz endorsement is at the 6:36 mark of the video.
The NON-endorsement of Donald is at the 10:30 mark of the video.

Perry supports Trump? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
As the tide turns, political sailors jump ship to get on the winning deck.
Yo Ho the Donald!
Like they say, “Texas. It’s like a whole other country!” ;-)
Thanks for the realtime report. That really rings true....based on everything we now know about this character Cruz.
It's a slapdown of Texans who he inveigled into voting him into the Senate, promising to be their voice in DC, saying he was a scrappy outsider running against a wealthy opponent (who just happened to get G/S to hand him over a million dollars).
After only 10 months in the Senate, his promises and his constituents were forgotten.......his long-laid plans for the presidency commenced. Like it was an afterthought he just happened to glom onto.
He's a gilt-edged phony.
Trump/Perry 2016!
Lyin'Cruz is going to be both a failed Presidential candidate AND a one term U.S. Senator.
Perry is a realist with his eyes open - the only thing that rankles me about him is how he mouthed off about Texas defying the Feds and sealing its own borders then not doing it - probable some “behind the scenes” reasons for that though.
From an earlier speech by Perry whereby he calls Trump a cancer:
In times of trouble, there are two types of leaders: repairers of the breach and sowers of discord.
The sower of discord foments agitation, thrives on division, scapegoats certain elements of society, and offers empty platitudes and promises. He is without substance when one scratches below the surface.
He offers a barking carnival act that can be best described as Trumpism: a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued.
LET NO ONE BE MISTAKEN DONALD TRUMPS CANDIDACY IS A CANCER ON CONSERVATISM, AND IT MUST BE CLEARLY DIAGNOSED, EXCISED AND DISCARDED.

As far as Im concerned, Rick Perry, you can just go to h*ll. I lost respect for you when you were my governor long ago.
All you did was bloviate about the flood of criminals crossing our border daily and being ignored by the guards (as ordered by Obama), and about the crimes against Texans committed by these criminal invaders. You did NOTHING about it. NOTHING to stop the invading horde and try to keep us safe.
Same for you, Gregg Abbott. All empty promises (during the election campaign) to help us- but since youre in the governors chair; nothing. Crickets. Spineless cowards-both of you.
The heroes of the Alamo must be crying in Heaven to see that spineless, PC crippled politicians have let Mexico reclaim Texas, and that their sacrifices were all in vain. .
We need a strong, fearless man like Donald to secure the border, stop the criminal invaders and reclaim Texas from Mexico.
This kind of MSM propagandist deliberate distortion used to be frowned upon and mocked at FR.
But I guess all former standards and principles have been abandoned try to get the moderate Democrat elected.
See, those glasses do make him smarter after all.
That we even are discussing the illegal Canadian alien here on FR is just unbelievable after how and when we discussed another illegal alien and usurper in 2007/2008, hello !!!
A CANADIAN born and its citizen wants to become an American President, WHERE are FReeper’s heads ???
You’re SO right. Why are his records sealed? ( to
GOOGLE IT)
I’m not a big Rick Perry fan, but he’s far from the worst of them. I’d say that he compromises when he feels that he has to, for the sake of his state.
