p class="mol-para-with-font">Former Texas Governor Rick Perry said Friday that he is pulling out of the 2016 race. 'Today I am suspending my campaign for the presidency of the United States,' Perry said, according to prepared remarks released in advance of a speech at the conservative Eagle Forum in St. Louis, Missouri. The two-time White House candidate was polling at 1 per cent among Republicans and had reduced his campaign staff to just a few full-time aides. 'We have a tremendous field – the best in a generation – so I step aside knowing our party is in good hands,' Perry said in a statement.

I kinda doubted Perry had a chance. People couldn't forget his 2016 flop. And he never found a tycoon backer or any group like community bankers to back him. Too bad. There was a lot to like about his record and his ability to win some Hispanic votes without pandering on open borders and amnesty. I expect a few other dominoes to fall in the next month. Maybe Jindal. I think a few others like Gillmore and Pataki are just running a book tour or trying to raise lobbying fees. I think Graham is on a shoestring and might stay in through South Carolina.
I think you mean 2012.
