Sen. Ted Cruz is proving to be a "disciplined" campaigner and "a leader with a real plan," but Donald Trump and Sen. Marco Rubio lack "consistency" on the big issues including guns and immigration, GOP presidential primary dropout Rick Perry says.

In a radio interview with conservative radio host Simon Conway in Iowa, the former Texas governor — who dropped his own White House bid in September — heaped praise on Cruz for his "wily" and "wise" performance in the fifth GOP presidential candidates' debate in Las Vegas.

Audio of the interview was posted by Buzz Feed News.

"I think as the caucuses come into view, as they come into focus if you will, the Iowa voter is going to really require some specificity: 'Tell us how you're gonna get this economy back. Tell us how you're going to address with specificity,'" Perry said....

Rick Perry climbing aboard the Cruz bandwagon, probably hoping for a nice senior position in either a Cruz or Trump/Cruz administration, whichever the case may be.

Sounds like the POS is being sent to set Cruz up and gut him at an opportune moment.

"Consistency is a very, very important thing for a leader of the free world and I have not seen that consistency out of him," Perry charged. "I don't know what he believes in to be real honest with you. I think he believes in Donald Trump and promoting Donald Trump and Donald Trump's brand."

I tend to agree.

If you remember when Perry dropped out of the race, Cruz was extremely gracious to him. This may be Perry returning the favor, also they are both Texans.

I think as the caucuses come into view, as they come into focus if you will,
the Iowa voter is going to really require some specificity:

*******************

44 days for all that specificity to come forward and on the 45th day hence
we’ll know the Iowa winner...

Absolutely. One only needs to listen to him. Trump’s right up there with Barry in his usage of “I” and “me”.

And...he’d be damned good in Cruz’s cabinet. A terrible campaigner, but a solid man.
