I dunno. Isnā€™t this more like Idi Amin, but with less brains?

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. ā€œHe wasnā€™t my first choice, wasnā€™t my second choice, but he is the Republican voterā€™s choice.ā€

adjusted to fit the true record.

I disagree. Trumpā€™s ethos is grounded in a wellspring of love for all the other ethnicities: the Blacks, the Hispanics, the Chinese, the little Jews in yarmulkes, etc. No one has ever loved ā€œthe diverseā€ more than The Donald.
If he left your color, creed, income level or party out, just send him a tweet and heā€™ll include you too.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry said he didnā€™t believe that his fellow 2016 contender Donald Trump ā€œunderstands the challengeā€ of strengthening the U.S.-Mexico border, adding he was ā€œoffendedā€ when Trump labeled Mexicans ā€œrapistsā€ during a speech last month.

Yā€™know ā€¦ I read that with the < /snark> tag applied.

Then I thought about it for a moment.

Given the Trump Meltdown this year, Iā€™m beginning to think that Texas may very well become a swing state by August or September. Especially if Perry joins Team Trump.

ā€œDonald Trump has proven once again that he doesnā€™t have the temperament to hold our nationā€™s highest office. Attacking veterans, Hispanics and women demonstrates a serious lack of character and basic decency, and his comments distract from the serious issues facing our country.ā€

from [Perry.org][1]

Side-note: Hereā€™s Tweety taking on Zell Miller from 11 years ago.

At some Perry will be explaining himself on either Hardball or Tapper. To quote TO: ā€˜Get ya popcorn ready.ā€™

Governor Niggerhead and his fake glasses are exactly the talent that Mental Ben is helping mine for Team Trump, just imagine those two ā€œmindsā€ working together. Perry just reset even my low expectations of just how utterly craven he is. Heā€™s absolutely desperate for any possibility to get near Trump and his money, and is just delusional enough to think Trump is actually playing a winning hand.

Iā€™m still not going to be shocked if Sarah Palin gets the VP nod. But, that leaves Ambassador to Texas, or maybe Mexico, for Perry. Given his disasters as governor, he does meet the Trump standard of losing and wasting at least as much money as Trump did during his serial bankruptcy rampage.

Trump: As I thought, my adversaries are scared of me and are falling in line, begging me to take them. I am The Best. I think Perryā€™s glasses may give me all of LGBT votes so itā€™s worth considering him for VP spot.

I donā€™t think weā€™re giving Rick enough credit. Heā€™s really a die-hard member of #neverTrump, and he wants to make absolutely sure that thereā€™s no chance of The Donald winning in November.

What Perry thinks is irrelevant.

The political class has to fall in line behind whoever is nominated. Theyā€™re just the mouthpieces.

The real power is the oligarchs behind them, and, so far, I see no evidence the elite are anywhere close to handling a powerful business advantage to Donald Trump Enterprises. They know that sometimes you have to take a short-term loss for the sake of a long-term gain.

At this point he has to pick a Mexican-American. After all, who will take care of the White House grounds and carry his bags around.

Whatā€™s even more amazing is those who say that they will only vote for Bernie because voting for Hillary is ā€œblackmail.ā€ (I just responded to this comment on fb this morning). Their stubbornness reminds me of 2 year-olds. I have always said, and continue to promise (although it is harder now, due to Bernieā€™s toxic behavior to HRC and the Democratic Party) that I will vote blue. Period!

Edited to add: Isnā€™t Perry under indictment?
