Can Cain sue for slander? Can’t even begin to consider the coordinated planning behind these charges. A corrupt media allows this to happen.

No. The bar for a public figure to sue is very high.

You have to prove a knowing untruth was printed or broadcast. The media is free to say stuff about you that you don’t like.

If you don’t want your private life to be an open book, there’s a solution. Don’t run for public office.

Of course it is coordinated. This attack on Cain has been rolled out like a well planned military operation. Unfortunately for the left wing a-holes behind this, they expected to get to fight Burnside and they tied into U.S. Grant instead.
