Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) on Thursday endorsed Donald Trump and left the door open to becoming the Republican vice presidential nominee.
“He is not a perfect man. But what I do believe is that he loves this country and he will surround himself with capable, experienced people and he will listen to them,” Perry told CNN. “He wasn’t my first choice, wasn’t my second choice, but he is the people’s choice.”
Perry had harsh criticism for Trump early on in the presidential race while the Texas governor was still a presidential candidate. He blasted Trump’s “toxic mix of demagoguery and nonsense” in July.
But on Thursday, Perry praised Trump and his presidential bid.
“He is one of the most talented people who has ever run for the president I have ever seen,” Perry told CNN.
When asked whether he would consider being Trump’s running mate, the former Texas governor did not rule it out.
“I am going to be open to any way I can help. I am not going to say no,” Perry said. “We can’t afford the policies and the character of Hillary Clinton.”
Oops.
What is amazing about this is the idea in Rick Perry (and sadly many GOPers) minds is that Hilary Clinton is more evil than Donald Trump. This is like comparing Einstein and Sarah Palin and saying they are of equal intellect because they both went to college.
The swirling machinations, the pretzel like logic, the lack of grey matter that could believe that Trump must be supported because Hilary would be worse is not anything I can begin to understand. Its like bizarro world in the old superman comics.
well… OK… it seems the Clown Car ride continues…
more beer and popcorn…
maybe a little maple sugar for this clown’s popcorn… syrup gets it too soggy…
Every time one of these GOP yahoos falls into the Trump line, it’s incumbent upon both Clinton and Sanders to remind people of exactly what kind of racist demagogue they are supporting. This is what the Republican Party has become, and there’s no turning back.
Trump/Perry 2016! Hair today - gone tomorrow.
