Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday gave a puzzling response to Donald Trumps assertion that he is dropping out of the presidential race.
You know, a broken clock is right once a day, Perry told Fox Newss Gretchen Carlson.
The saying, typically used to describe someone who finally gets something right, is "a broken clock is right twice a day."
The bottom line is Im still here and Im still working and we need to be talking about solutions and not just rhetoric out there, Perry later added. Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, said Thursday during a press conference in New York that Perry is getting out of the race.
Perry attacked me; now hes getting out of the race, Trump said. He was at 4 or 5 percent, now hes getting out of the race, he was at zero.
Perrys campaign has been struggling in recent weeks, with fundraising woes forcing him to lay off paid staffers. His Iowa chairman quit the campaign and joined Trumps.
The former Texas governor, like other GOP candidates, has traded barbs with Trump in public.
Perry has previously called for Trump to drop out of the race and compared him to cancer.
Trump said that Perry should have been forced to take an IQ test in order to qualify for the first Republican primary debate.
“Trump said that Perry should have been forced to take an IQ test in order to qualify for the first Republican primary debate.”
Brutal...
A broken military clock is correct ONCE, a day..
A broken military clock is likely a digital clock and its screen will be off so technically it is more likely that a broken military clock is that correct
Ohhhh . . . the “he” refers back to Perry! That was poorly written. I hadn’t heard news of anyone contemplating dropping out.
Did he mean a clock that was flashing 00:00?
Hey CW, your 2012 Perry slip is showing even more!
Geez, I couldn’t make this stuff up.
Good riddence to LaRaza Rickie.
But are you? B^)
He must use a 24 hour clock...
Maybe he has one of these ...
If he does, it must have been a gift from Trump! HA!
build that wall around New Mexico after you encircle with air power
“I’ll find a guy” is not policy
I know, when I first read it I did a double take. Journalism schools are pushing out alot of garbage, that’s for sure.
Glasses aren’t doing the trick Rick.. need thicker lenses
I’m sorry, I don’t know what you are referring to. Did Perry say something about “I’ll find a guy” or is that something Trump said?
Rick, you’re a nice guy but
The party’s over, Time to call it a day,...
Huhh huhh...., yeah ....I said that!!!
That is Trump’s policy on terrorism
The saying doesn’t apply (if he’s not dropping out) and he got the wording wrong.
Oops.
