Debates show what one is made of as nothing else does.
Well, even though he is a smoker, Mark Block is doing a heck of a job for Herman Cain. Of course, so is Herman Cain doing a heck of a job just being Herman Cain!
As for Perry, if you can’t think on your feet, you cannot think on your seat! Debates show what one is made of as nothing else does. It takes a quick mind, a solid background, a statesman demeanor, including self control and substance to do well in a debate - all the ingredients it takes to make a good president. Go, Herman Cain!
Incidentally, the first presidential campaign I worked on was for Dwight Eisenhower. He was very articulate, calm and masterful. We volunteers all got to meet him personally when he was in our city. He had never run for office, he was not a politician, but Ike managed to be a good presidentanyway. He managed his troops and the problems they faced in war very well, just as Herman Caine managed his thousands of employees, and cleared up the problems any company he headeed up and put them in the black.
Even though he is a smoker he’s doing a heck of a job?
Silly statement.
Smokers are just as capable as anyone else.
You might have also mentioned that Ike, who wrote all of MacArthur’s speeches hated grand eloquence. His wartime papers also reveal him to be an excellent writer, and a master of detail. He hated small-talk and was all business, but always good company at the bridge-table. A quick visit to his house at Gettsyburg farm shows at a glance that he was at heart a retired Army colonel, who loved to cook and had an outdoor grill that was bigger than the kitchen which was small enough for him to prepare his meals himself or for a few guests if he so desired. He was also a hard man beneath that smile, and pace, Rush, even on the golf course, he was always in command of his administration.
” As for Perry, if you can’t think on your feet,.”
Perry flew T-38 supersonic jets before he commanded
the C-130 Hercules and flew them globally.
He can obviously think and perform in critical situations.
The ones that count.
Not performing for the media.
