The Implosion of Herman Cain
Redstate ^ | 11/14/2011 | Leon H. Wolf

Posted on 11/14/2011 8:30:40 PM PST by TBBT

Anyone who saw the debate on Saturday night and observed Herman Cain’s performance clearly saw a man who was terrified of the questions he was being asked and was hoping to be noticed as little as possible. Apparently, there was a good reason for that. Herman Cain apparently sat down with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel editorial board to talk foreign policy and, well… this happened.

Now, normally I would include a description of what happened in this video but this is one of those videos you really do have to see to believe. You cannot grasp how utterly clueless Cain is in answering this question until you see his physical discomfort – and you wouldn’t believe that he didn’t know whether Obama supported the rebels or not unless you saw it for yourself. (Apparently, in another nugget from this same interview, Cain indicated that he believed that public sector employees should be able to bargain collectively so long as that did not impose a burden on taxpayers – which is a little like saying he would be in favor of invading Iran so long as no one got killed.)

More perspective...

Especially apt:

...I defy anyone of even marginal objectivity to watch the above video and tell me that there is any other explanation for a) Cain’s debate performance on Saturday and b) what happened in the above video.

This is just silly. Cain is raising more money than ever, holding most of his strength. He doesn’t seem afraid of anything.

Cain will continue and will do strongly in the primary race with a good chance of winning the nomination.

I still support him, despite some of his mis-speaks and mistakes.

Why? Beacuse I trust the man and believe he will do very good things for the country economically, socially, and foreign affairs wise.

He kn ows how to and will put together a good team as he has done in turning large coprs around and help a House and Senate majority turn this nation around.

He is honest and when he does make a mistake he gets back to it and figures it out and moves on, correcting the problem. He is not a spit and polished pol, and I still trust him.

Yeah cuz it’s really important to have a perfect candidate that never makes a mistake and knows every little thing about every little thing a president has to deal with. Because every single person in the country knows it’s completely impossible to choose people for your cabinet who are experts in areas you are lacking. How many of these people were PRO Cain before the piling on?

Nope. Perry just never answers the question asked of him. He goes back to the previous one since that is the one he has had a chance to mull over.

A bunch of today's Newt pushers were Cain pushers two weeks ago.

Being tired and addressing complexity easily explains any of it, the complexity aspect most of all. People are so dumbed down, and media controllers are so stupidly brutal, that people cannot even recognize a considered answer anymore. To the contrary, everyone judges each other on the ease in which talking points are spit out, and the facility with which follow-up questions are avoided, and the brazenness in which patent lies are thrust forward, defying the listener to call the lie what it is.

And I'm saying this not particularly liking Cain. His 999 really soured me on him. But fair's fair - the man considers his answers from multiple real-world contextual points, and its refreshing to see. That it rattles the zombies is a good thing.
