RE: “if the women talk, Cain’s candidacy would be over”.
1) It depends on what they talk about.
2) It depends on who is telling the truth.
Talk is cheap. Prove it after 15 years of being silent.
Most of all, show us that you were victimized.
I think something probably happened on cocktail night fifteen years ago, at happy hour, but Cain most assuredly regrets it and would be too smart to run for president if there was anything much to it. He does not have a record of being a predator, and who knows, maybe this is why he says he now drinks only wine, reportedly. Cain probably learned a lot from a regrettable incident, but has no record of being the predator the media would like to make of him. This will be traced back to maybe having too much to drink on one evening.
This could be a three way set up not only for Cain, but for hanging the leak of it on one campaign, when another actually pulled it off. All that sparkles is not gold.
The years of silence isn’t relevant, given they’d signed against speaking on it.
In this case, talk might not be cheap. It depends whether money has been offered to these woman, by whom, and how much.
We know the lawyer for one woman has ties to John Podesta, an old time Clintonista. This "witness" has ties to the RINOpublican establishment, possibly including Karl Rove. And Larry Flynt was said to have offered $1 million for any sexual dirt on Rick Perry. Who knows what other offers he might have made.
This whole thing stinks to high heaven.
