Texas Gov. Rick Perry is inviting hundreds of prominent Republican donors and policy experts to a series of gatherings next month that are intended to rebuild his damaged national brand and lay the foundation for a potential 2016 presidential campaign, fundraisers and organizers confirmed to POLITICO.

The small-group sessions kick off Tuesday and Wednesday in Austin with a pair of lunches and dinners held in the governor’s mansion wedged between policy briefings at the nearby office of Perry senior adviser Jeff Miller. In all, Perry’s team expects he will meet in person with more than 500 major donors and bundlers from around the country in December as well as a slew of operatives, Republican National Committee members and policy experts.

Perry’s intensive month of foundation-building comes as other prospective Republican presidential candidates – notably former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz – are engaging with the wealthy Texans who for years have been among the GOP’s most significant sources of cash. As the heir to a political dynasty with deep Texas ties, Bush in particular could seriously cut into Perry’s financial base. Bush over the last few months has met with major Texas donors.

I think it would be funny if he got the nomination. I don't see that happening. I think he would be a very good VP candidate and the GOP has a history of rewarding the VP on fundraising. Rick must earn.

Perry is a good campaigner and can raise money. He might make some waves until the debates, where he will crash & burn.

I'd take Perry a hundred times over Ted Cruz.

[Th'Pusher]

Neither one of them have a chance at the republican nomination. Remember when Rick Perry killed the innocent Cameron Todd Willingham? That should have been a bigger story than it was...

RickyBobby's TX has screwed poor women out of health care, perinatal care, abortions (note that TX non-poor women can have the abortions), denied Medicaid expansion (TX's medicaid rules were already among the most restrictive in the country).

Repugs' blatant, non-stop misogyny will continue to push women to the Dems.

Rick Perry: Running for President Is "Not an IQ Test"


A lot of people think Texas Governor Rick Perry might be dumb. Perry does not think that should stop him from running for president.

"Running for the presidency’s not an IQ test," Perry told MSNBC this morning.

"It is a test of an individual’s resolve.

It’s a test of an individual’s philosophy.

It’s a test of an individual’s life experiences. (running a totally corrupt state for 14 years!)

And I think Americans are really ready for a leader that will give them a great hope about the future." ( what bull ! )

Here are some clips of Rick Perry being dumb:

Well the weird thing with Perry has always been that in interviews he's pretty good at bull ting his way through any question but as soon as he gets on a debate stage he goes blank and can barely remember his own name.
