Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry Endorses Sen. Ted Cruz in the Republican presidential primary. Perry told Politico that he found Cruz to be a good listener who respects the Tenth Amendment, is  a “man of principle,” and is more conservative than Trump:

Of those individuals who have a chance to win the Republican primary, at this juncture, from my perspective, Ted Cruz is by far the most consistent conservative in that crowd. And that appears to be down to two people.

According to Perry, Cruz will be able to get things done as president, despite his current reputation among fellow senators for being a bomb-thrower:

You’ll have with Ted Cruz that same result of, senators and others in the Washington establishment that are mad at him, find him to be hard to work with, they will find a way to work with him because they know he means what he says he means.

I’d rather see folks come together, work together to find solutions, but from time to time, you’ve got to lay the marker down. There’s that old adage, ‘You gotta hit the mule upside the head to get its attention from time to time.’ I’d suggest that’s exactly what the senator was doing.

Perry said he is confident that Cruz would be Prepared to be President:

He knows he’s going to surround himself with people who do have that experience, and I’m very satisfied that on Day 1, he will be ready to be commander-in-chief. Partly because of the time he’s going to spend in learning what he doesn’t know, but he’s also surrounding himself with people who are extraordinarily capable and wise.

After meeting with him last month last month, Perry found Cruz to be “a very different person” than what he had been led to believe through the caricature driven by the  “media narrative” Perry had seen through the political lens.

Perry, will campaign with Cruz Tuesday across Iowa, and will join Iowa GOP Rep. Steve King to stump for Cruz again Wednesday. Perry and King will both join Cruz at a Des Moines rally Wednesday night.
