"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 told Politico.

Cruz for President. Rick Perry for Vice President.

The Constitution doesn’t allow both the Prez and VP to be from the same state - that’s why Cheney had to scramble to get re-established in Jackson, Wyoming from Houston, Texas where he really lived and where he voted for years.

No problem: Cruz is Canadian and so Perry from Texas can be on the ticket.

Sort of. But Trump is Il Duce. Cruz is someone more malevolent.

Well that was a wasted endorsement.

“There’s that old adage, ‘You gotta hit the mule upside the head to get its attention from time to time.”

It appears that the Governor has been on the wrong end of that exchange one too many times.

Ricky’s bucking for a post in the Cruz administration: Secretary of Commerce? Education? or the other one? Oops.

  1. Does he have any more people awaiting trial for felonies to endorse him? Or has he been convicted yet? If not why not. Oh yeah…its Texas.

  2. Rick needs a better set of dentures.

The world wants to know: did Perry issue his endorsement from his family’s “N!ggerhead Ranch”?

and Cruz is the solution

If Cruz is the solution, what were the solvent and solutes? I really want to know, because I want to make damned sure no one ever has that recipe again.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the solvent is something really noxious like dioxygen difluoride (FOOF, it’s real stuff) or maybe chlorine trifluoride (ClF3, also real stuff also really.nasty) and the solute is Kryptonite.

So Cruz has been endorsed by a unprincipled, semi-corrupt, corporate lobbyist ex-Governor. Good to know.
