So what would your version of "ethical leadership" look like?
Cain's resignation? I'll agree that Mark Block is doing no good, but what would you do instead?
Well, he could start by explaining and addressing the employment complaints. He could “clarify” why his story on it changed several times. He could also make it clear that he does not approve of the character assassination of the victims and witnesses, instead of encouraging it, as he seems to be doing, and even almost making it into a taunt.
He could offer dignified leadership instead of working with his advisers to keep a media circus going.
I have said from the very start that if he had just come out, admitted the existence of the two complaints and the fact that they were settled, and then offered an apology for any real or perceived misconduct, none of this would have happened. It would have been an episode in his campaign and never would have gone any further. Instead, the whole GOP campaign is being dragged down by this issue.
