Rick Perry loses South Carolina headquarter offices

Dammit.  **nononono*

 (CNN)Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry has shuttered his South Carolina campaign headquarters in the capital city of Columbia, his state chairman Katon Dawson confirmed Tuesday.

This comes almost a month after the Perry campaign announced that it would no longer be paying staff across the country.

Dawson attributes the move out of the building, which he provided for the Perry campaign in his retainer fee, to a "hot new client" that a realtor found for the space.

In the meantime, Dawson says the whole Perry team in South Carolina has relocated to his own office, Dawson Public Affairs. The chairman confirmed that he remains on a volunteer basis with the campaign, adding he hasn't been paid for "20 to 30 days."

"The Perry campaign was in the building for about 60 days, since the beginning of the summer," Dawson said of the short lease that the campaign held on the space.

State Republican Party Chairman Matt Moore made headlines last week after telling the Charleston Post and Courier that "Rick Perry is on life support in South Carolina," and expressed fear that the former Texas governor would not be able to pay the $40,000 filing fee to get on the state's ballots.

Looks like he'll never get into The Game again.  Ah well.

You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.

Unless you're a Democrat.  HRC still has over 40% of the Dim vote.
Trump has created a cult and looks more and more like Hitler every day.

Ah, but, Rick Perry was never the First Lady. For Democrats First Lady is almost as good as being a former president.

Historically the GOP nominee has run for President once before and failed before becoming successful at getting the nomination.  This is true of Romney, McCain, Dole, Bush 41, Reagan, and Nixon
