From the Washington Post:
“’Gov. Perry has talked to Donald Trump in recent days and respects him and the folks at Newsmax very much,’ Perry communications director Ray Sullivan said in a statement. ‘Traditional retail campaigning in the days and weeks leading up to the Iowa caucus is the Perry campaign’s top priority.’Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former Utah governor Jon Huntsman have already declined the invitation. Rep.
Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is undecided. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum (Pa.) are planning to attend.”
I guess Gingrich and Santorum are just gonna have to suck it up and hope Trump has some cool new video games they can play. Oh, and they better pray that none of the cool kids find out they’re going. It’ll totally ruin their reputation.
