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.

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.

-When asked whether he would consider being Trump’s running mate, the former Texas governor did not rule it out.

“All that’s left to decide is whether I’m gonna kiss his ass at Trump Tower or Nnnnn-head hunt club.”

“He wasn’t my first choice, wasn’t my second choice, but he is the people’s choice.” (Rick Perry)

He was the angry and nutty evangelical people’s choice (aka Republicans).

Rick Perry: “He wasn’t my first choice, wasn’t my second choice, but he is the people’s choice.”

When asked to name his third choice, Rick Perry had was unfortunately unable to recall who his third choice was.

Btw, considering Rick Perry’s a has-been here in Texas, doing pretty much nothing, then yea, I guess he’s open to any job nowadays. He’s in trouble, though. I’m pretty sure Chris Christie already sold his soul for the VP slot.

Notes to self:

  1. Quit making jokes about End Times.

  2. Start comparing anti-anxiety medications.

“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.

Well, I guess that pretty much rules Perry out as Vice-President, or for any cabinet-level position for that matter. Maybe Ambassador to Saudi Arabia?

Do any of these people have an actual philosophy other than their own power? If only they were interested in governing rather than ruling.
If that “deep bench” wasn’t embarrassing to the GOP earlier, the rush to endorse Trump should be embarrassing now.
