Rick Perry drops out of the race

Rick Perry drops out of the race September 14, 2015

We have posted about each candidate who gets into the presidential race, so we will post about those who drop out.  Rick Perry has ended his campaign.  A lot more need to do so is Republicans are going to coalesce around someone other than Donald Trump. Who do you think will be next?

From Rick Perry suspends his presidential bid with ‘no regrets’ – The Washington Post:

Former Texas governor Rick Perry effectively ended his second campaign for president Friday, becoming the first candidate to exit the race as his attempt to mount a do-over of his disastrous 2012 run fell short.

“When I gave my life to Christ, I said, ‘Your ways are greater than my ways. Your will is superior to mine,'” Perry told the audience of several hundred activists at the conservative Eagle Forum’s summit. “Today I submit to you His will remains a mystery, but some things have become clear to me. That is why today I am suspending my campaign for the presidency of the United States.”

Perry had struggled to rise in polls and failed to qualify for last month’s prime-time debate in Cleveland — a major setback. He appeared in the undercard debate, only to see Carly Fiorina, a former technology executive, have what many observers considered a breakout performance.
