Herman Cain rips into Bush as he reveals plans to speak at Trump rally

Donald Trump will be sharing the stage with another businessman-turned-political-figure at his rally in Georgia on Monday night--former presidential candidate Herman Cain.

Cain--a radio host who also was CEO of Godfather's Pizza--ran for the 2012 Republican nomination before dropping out of the race in December 2011 as allegations of past sexual misconduct escalated (he denies the allegations). Cain announced his plans to speak at the evening rally on his website caintv.com, and he used the post as an opportunity to rip into Jeb Bush after the former Florida governor implied that people now leading in the polls could ultimately "flame out" like Cain.

The post titled "Big talk from Mr. 5.5 percent" starts out:

"Someone should tell Jeb Bush that I've accepted an invitation to speak at Donald Trump's rally this coming Monday in Georgia. I accepted for a simple reason: He asked," Cain writes. "But Gov. Bush seems weirdly interested these days in the connection--if only in his own mind--between what he thinks happened to me and what he thinks is going to happen to Trump."

Cain then goes on to explain his past poll standings, why he eventually dropped out of the race, and why Bush's campaign is in need of a major rethink.

That sounds like fun! I enjoyed Herman’s run last time around - he was an absolute hoot.

Funny strange that no charges were ever leveled at Herman Cain, and the controversy stopped as soon as he dropped out of the race.

Why would Bush speak at a Trump rally?

We love ya, Herm! If ONLY you could have kept it in your pants, perhaps you could have derailed Obama and the country would be recovering by now.

Love your radio show though. You rip into Obama every day and sound REEEEEEEAL Black doing it. Love it!

I voted for Herman Cain twice with never a regret. I saw no hoot as you call it. It is good to know that a New York elitist thinks a decent Southern Gentleman is a hoot.

Herman KNOWS the GOPe (Mitt/Bush Family/Rove) torpedoed his campaign in `12 with the slime tactics. He wants payback.

They are trying the same smear tactic on Rubio this time around.

I think you have totally misunderstood miss marmelstein’s post!

I took in the spirit of fun, and goodwill toward Cain.

I really don’t think Miss marmelstein meant any disrespect for Herman Cain. Herman is a fun guy. So smart, but he is a character.
