This thing is collapsing in on Cain. As a demonstration of how he’s handling himself under pressure, I can’t say it’s all I want it to be.
This is a contest for President of the United States. We have so little by which to judge someone being ready for the job. This sort of thing can either make or break someone by how he deals with it.
I’m not saying it’s going to destroy him, but he could have used it as a way to prove he can handle anything. Instead, it’s showing his flaws.
But, But, But, he is now “almost certain” that he told Anderson.
But then again, you may be wrong.
Apologies to Billy Joel.
It really is his first test, and he’s handled it horribly.
Since the man has never held office or never been vetted, nobody knew how he would handle trouble.
Now we do.
If there were accusations of sexual harrassment against Cain and the NRA did pay out to settle, he should have anticipated that it would come out at some point and had a plan to handle it. If this is Cain’s plan for dealing with a fairly predictable event then I would hate to see Cain “shoot from the hip” on a wholly unexpected event. I hope that everybody’s happy with Romney as the nominee because I don’t think that after this display of political acumen it will be Cain. Based on the lack of simple contingency planning on the part of the Cain people, that may not be a bad thing. Maybe, if we are really lucky, it will be a Romney-Newt ticket that the beltway establishment Republicans can fully support. I can’t wait for that. /s
Nothing is “collapsing in on Cain”. He raised $100,000 in 24 hours for his Iowa fund.
The “scandal” is already fading. Most people don’t know about it like we do.
I’m going to a fundraising luncheon and a GB Packer tailgate party with the Herminator soon! YAY!
