Well done.
Nicely done essay. It’s good to see original work posted here on FR.
a little more detail....
Cain admitted the 13 year relationship.
He didn’t admit it was sexual. She said it was romantic.
White apologized for making it public and hurting his wife & kids.
I heard Herman Cain say that it was the lawsuits (4 of them IIRC) that got him to drop out. He said he could not of afforded them.
Cain also had been charged and had to settle a sexual harassment complaint when he was President of the Restaurant Association. That made the charges more believable. Trump as far as we know has never been charged in court. I bet the MSM looked up and down to see if he had.
What I don’t understand is how these vague and highly suspect charges of sexual impropriety can even influence an election anymore. As we’ve seen, they seem to get leveled so often and under such questionable circumstances that they should lack all credibility. And they only seem to injure conservative candidates, never liberals.
So it’s very likely they’re just lies from the start, and even if they’re true, do I really give a tinker’s damn if Donald Trump grabbed some butt 30 years ago?
So what did the Rats accomplish? Four years later they are looking at a guy who CAN afford the lawsuits. In fact, a guy who LOVES lawsuits. Further, a guy who has a track record of WINNING lawsuits. If I were a lawyer and got a call from one of these five women today, I would not take it.
I didn’t realize Cain admitted the affair. (if it was no-sexual wouldn’t that make them friends?) I did see White later lied about her business partner and was sued, lost and never paid the judgment.
Thanks
Thanks it means a lot to me!
My bad for missing that. I seem to remember though the sex scandals really took the wind out of his campaign.
Oh they are working on that.

I’d like to believe with fact checking on the internet and how these always come up at the last minute against winning non-democrat politicians the public has grown weary and sceptical of these claims.
The rats hope to destroy Trump, win the election and then cast aside the useful idiots that made it possible.
liberals are stupid, if they were smart they wouldn’t be liberal.
I have been thinking about this. There probably are two or three “acquaintances from my youth that might suggest I groped them.
I know that I always was pretty sure that my dates “wanted to be kissed.”
Probably not always true.
And there was that girl in Burlington when someone dared me to grab a her rear end as she walked by. A draft beer in my face and a slap cured me of THAT behavior.
So in my case you would have to find them, but if you did I am sure they would sell me out for a pizza.
Didn’t help Billy Bush’s career much.
Had his tape brought down Trump he’d be looking at his own nightly show by now.
If I ever run against you for office I’ll keep that in mind.
I would hope so too. But there are always those squishy fence-sitters who are easily manipulated, always willing to outsource their thinking.
