Rick Perry presidential run on death watch

Politico:

The Rick Perry death watch is on.

The former Texas governor, who hoped he would fare better in this presidential election than in his disastrous 2012 try, is poised to reorganize his already under-funded and under-manned staff in Iowa — a development that some of his top aides concede may be the beginning of the end.

The plans were announced on a Monday conference call with Perry’s campaign aides. During the call, according to two campaign officials, the aides were informed that a reorganization was being worked out and would be completed either late this week or early next week. While the campaign did not detail the changes, some on the call said they expect them to be dramatic.

One Republican operative in Iowa said that half a dozen Perry staffers currently working in the state contacted him on Monday to inquire about job prospects. Also on Monday, Sam Clovis, Perry’s Iowa co-chairman and a prized operative, announced that he was departing the campaign, and on Tuesday confirmed that he was defecting to be national campaign co-chair and senior policy adviser to Donald Trump, who has zoomed to the top of the pack.

1. That corpse has been rotting for some time, what you see now is a zombie.

His primary function is for talking heads to trot out probably the worst Primary debate performance video ever for laughs and giggles.

3. that's a huge kick in the teeth that the campaign manager of the man who called The Donald

"a cancer on conservatism" joined the Trump campaign. Now I wonder who Perry'll endorse. Probably Jeb: "I served with his brother, blah blah blah" and he reminds everyone of Jeb's last name once again.
