Cain has made gaffes and mis-quotes and mis-statements. But most people trust him.
It gets him into little bits of trouble, but that he can get out of because people believe him.
Agreed. People like him and trust him and know he’s no career, spit and polished pol.
They cut him slack expecting he will put together the team to address isssues and solve problems according to fundamental American principle and the constitution as best he can.
They look at his background as an Americna outside of politics to derive this impression and expectation.\
They know the MSM and the establishment pols, particularly the DNC and RINOS are waiting to pounce on any mis-step and try and use that as cause to defeat him. but the Tea Party types have thicker skins than that and are not going along with it anymore. They will decide for themselves...not based on ABC, CBS, CNN...or Karl Rove or Brit Hume for that matter.
Today’s mantra is no longer “the most trusted man in US News.” That person today is the individual themself.
>The way I put the same point is that Cain’s sin is that he actually answers the question the best he can, without changing the subject or providing a canned answers.
>It gets him into little bits of trouble, but that he can get out of because people believe him.
I think you got it exactly right. He’s not a slick liar like Mittens. The 999 plan, while flawed, is still a concrete proposal and thinking outside the box. He’s not afraid to try out new ideas and work through them to come up with something simple and common-sense. That’s what a good CEO does.
I think Cain’s biggest problem (along with the MSM and RINO-SM (Fox)) is his lack of campaign money compared the flexible Mitt Gumby. It’s up to us in the trenches of America to pull him through. The country-club RINOs are all about Mittens and to hell with the country.
