http://www.cbsnews.com/news/election-2016-rick-perry-to-donald-trump-you-me-pull-up-contest/Perry's response was to challenge Trump to a "pull up" contest on a pull up bar. I guess Perry conceded Trump's point about lacking the brainpower, or maybe he couldn't remember three things again.

Donald has a nasty habit of calling out our nation's veterans as weak. Trump like most chickenhawks talks a big game then doesn't deliver when his time was needed.

(20,945 posts)Yeah, FDR is tougher than Trump or Perry. That's not what the GOP pissing match is about. Trump is so mentally weak in ego that he response to people that diss him on twitter at 3am in the morning. The dude is a basket case with one fragile ego. Rick took a licking last election cycle and he's still standing with a lot of cash in his campaign chest. What he isn't doing is responding to stupid crap on his twitter page. Why? Because he's tougher than Donald Trump. Frankly ever candidate is tougher than Donald Trump. The guy is one desperate mentally weak dude. He's running for president because he needs the attention. I mean, this guy really needs it. It should freak people out how emotionally needy Trump is. I'll still take Perry over Trump any day in the toughness category. We've never seen a person so personally weak as Trump pretend to run for President before. Or to say it another way: most people like Trump that run for president like Trump only pretended to run for office. The conclusion would be, when push comes to shove, Trump will exit the race once it becomes hard work. Rick Perry knows it. All the other candidates know it.
