Former Texas governor Rick Perry's presidential campaign is no longer paying its staff because fundraising has dried up, while his cash-flush allied super PAC is preparing to expand its political operation to compensate for the campaign's shortcomings, campaign and super PAC officials and other Republicans familiar with the operation said late Monday.
Perry, who has struggled to gain traction in his second presidential run, has stopped paying his staff at the national headquarters in Austin as well as in the early caucus and primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, according to a Republican familiar with the Perry campaign who demanded anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
Perry campaign manager Jeff Miller told staff last Friday, the day after the first Republican presidential debate, that they would no longer be paid and are free to look for other jobs -- and, so far at least, most aides have stuck with Perry -- according to this Republican.

He would've made a great President --in 2012.
His time has passed.
Rick Perry
Linda Grahamnesty
Rand Paul is next
Fiorina after that
Good riddance to all these corrupt fools that have helped destroy America!
So who is their man or woman now?
He is a good man for the most part but I don’t think he would be elected.
It doesn’t seem any Republican is leading the field on defeating Hillary.According to polls.
Nothing a pair of bigger eyeglass s won’t fix. (And maybe a sweater vest?)
LOL! New keyboard invoice on the way.
Hillary needn’t worry about that governor anymore.
“Florida Governor Jeb Bush is a good man,” ~Donald Trump
Ha ha. He’s not the only one:

Actually I think he is a good man, too.
He was fair as Texas Governor.
Walker. I’d bet on it once the USCOC starts flowing the cash as the race heats up. He will evolve even more. He’s already compromised so he’s the natural choice for Perrybots.
She was always running to be Jeb's Veep pick.
Perry is one of those cases where nobody (i.e., Perry) sat down for ten minutes and asked, “What reasons am I going to give the American People to want me in the White House?”
He hasn’t talked about anything but Donald Trump since June.
That was he one bad thing.
But he shut down Abortion Barbie’s attempt to stop passage of the Anti-Abortion Bill.
A sweater vest is nothing but a crutch for someone who doesn’t have the discipline to lose 20 lbs.
Or land grabs for superhighways benefiting Mexico.
Or using American cash to support illegals.
Or fighting a fence and calling anyone demanding a secure border heartless.
Or...
Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.
Therefore, he is not a good man.
He has plenty of bad things. Sure there are worse people in office than Rick Perry. But there are better people than Rick Perry we should concern ourselves electing first.
