Great points Nauti, I wrote this before the straw poll and yes Cain is a great choice. He came to an event in Oregon and spoke, even though I couldn’t make his speech people were very impressed. He could beat Obama and the debates would be worth the price of admission.
Pray for America
I saw him at that event & yes, he gave a great speech. He’s very personable, & passes the ‘would be fun to have a beer with’ test. People want to LIKE their president!
I think I like him best of the current candidates. But I wasn’t happy with his comments in the debate about closing gov’t agencies. He said he would do that only if they couldn’t be ‘fixed’. I think we’re long past fixing most of them & it’s time to cut, cut, cut. Herman’s been clued in on a few things, like gun rights & the right of return for Palestinians. I think we need to get him some more advisors & get him up to date on a few more topics!
“even though I couldn’t make his speech people were very impressed. He could beat Obama and the debates would be worth the price of admission.”
You’re right, Bray - people are ALWAYS impressed by his speeches. By far, Herman and Newt are the most consistently eloquent speakers, and both are (imho) the ONLY ones who could whip BHO in debates. Come the general election, those debates will be a critical deciding factor with the masses, and why I’ve always said we must have a nominee who’s up to that, who can dish it back to BHO without faltering or getting rattled. Mittens isn’t the guy. I’ve seen Sarah get shaken by the MSM various times as well. Perry might be up to it if his people would stop over-handling and restraining him, because the few points we purist conservatives disagree with him on, BHO couldn’t very well knock.
The couple of times Cain faltered early on, he quickly studied up and rarely if ever repeats the same mistake twice. He just needs to elaborate more, as some here have stated, on his good talking points - AND he really needs a quick education on radical Islam (and the Koran in general) so that he can argue it in detail and confidently defend his stance on sharia law, conflict between Islam and our Constitution, and not appointing Muslims for that reason.
