Well, well, well, it looks like Cowboy Rick is hanging up his spurs.

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s campaign team in South Carolina is no longer being paid by his presidential campaign, National Journal has learned.

It is not clear if or when paychecks will start backing up for Perry’s team in South Carolina. Dawson said that Perry staffers in the state “have been paid up to two weeks ago.”

The rich folks in South Carolina say they will continue to campaign for him, but he just didn’t raise enough money to keep paid staffers there.

Perry has struggled in his repeat bid for president in 2016. He raised a meager $1.1 million in the second quarter and his campaign will depend almost entirely on his far better-funded super PAC. Notably, Perry also missed the main debate stage last week, despite a weeks-long push of television ads by his super PAC in Iowa.

Anybody want to guess when Rick will be coming home?  I give him another 45 days of sliding on bad momentum and because he really doesn’t know how to do anything else.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
