After struggling to get out of a crowded and flooded GOP presidential wannabes basement, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry is throwing in the towel — after he dries himself off.
The governor’s hometown newspaper, the Austin American-Statesman reports on the first major candidate to get out of an overcrowded clown bus:
Perry’s campaign said the longest-serving governor in Texas history would tell a group of conservative activists in St. Louis on Friday night that “some things have become clear.”
.
“We have a tremendous field, the best in a generation, so I step aside knowing our party is in good hands, and as long as we listen to the grassroots, the cause of conservativism will be too,” Perry planned to say according to remarks released by his campaign.
Perry must be referring to the “good hands” of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindall, Rick Santorum et al.
Good luck!
