Rick Perry Calls Donald Trump a Cancer and Carnival Act
Source: Time
Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry is taking the gloves off in his assault on Donald Trump, calling the man leading the GOP presidential polls a cancer on conservatism and a barking carnival act.
Perry, who sees a pathway to political resurrection after a disastrous 2012 campaign in his vocal criticism of the real estate magnate, used the striking language to criticize Trump at a forum organized by his super PAC, the Opportunity and Freedom PAC.
The White House has been occupied by giants, Perry said. But from time to time it is sought by the small-minded divisive figures propelled by anger, and appealing to the worst instincts in the human condition.
He offers a barking carnival act that can be best described as Trumpism: a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued, Perry said. Let no one be mistaken Donald Trumps candidacy is a cancer on conservatism, and it must be clearly diagnosed, excised and discarded.

(10,775 posts)... he hired someone to remotely control his mouth when he wears them. I think the challengers should demand that he debate without them.

"Trump said he believed the officer seemed "overly aggressive."
"He just looked very aggressive. I didn't like his demeanor, I thought it was terrible, to be honest with you," he said. "I am a huge fan of the police. I think the police have to be given back power. But this guy was overly aggressive, terribly aggressive."
Trump went on to add that he has a "great relationship" with African-Americans: "I just have great respect for them and they like me, I like them.""

(23,867 posts)In some kind of self destructive way, this is funny. But lurking behind the conscious is the severely dreadful changes we'd have to endure if any of these characters were to somehow wind up in the White House. I shudder to think. But you know, the chances of any one of them getting their slimy paws on the nuclear football is next to none. So keep up the entertainment.

(8,203 posts)ditty my Mom used to play with us -
Mean Landlord - "I've come for the rent"
Fair maiden "but, I haven't got it"
Mean Landlord - "I've come for the rent" -( mom would put her finger up under her nose like a mustache, using a deep voice)
Fair maiden "but, I haven't got it"
In comes the Good man "I'll pay the rent"
Fair maiden "my hero"
Now apply Mean landlord to any one of these clowns - this is a set up for those in the RNC to be "hero" in the eyes of
the dumbed down Republican constituency- who is fading away year by year....
What a bunch of losers, recycled, rewriting history, don't pay any attention to the devastation we have reeked on our states, straw man attacks, oh and as for Bush, fagettabout Iraq, that was my brother - oh, too - who I threw the 2000 election to - he is my brother - afterall...
Be well all...

Want to be the Republican "president" but got a pesky felony indictment?
No problemo! You still qualify.
And again, mainstream media doesn't call out any of these frauds.
We are obliged, yet again, to take them seriously.
