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.)

An illegal alien rapist killer just got let loose in Dallas the other week.

Guess what? I wasn’t Perry that ordered him turned loose.
It was ICE (the FED)

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

It's the Emperor's new clothes.

It's not silly. The man isn't prepared, isn't going to be prepared. He had time but that's run out. Add in his "shooting from the lip" and 2012 could easily be 1964 all over.

Cain has been fouling up for sometime and getting a complete pass.

After reducing Cain to ashes, does anybody want to place bets whether or not Newt isn’t next in a week or two?

“Can you please explain to me his wife’s performance on Greta tonight? it was horrible.”

It was honest, like Herman. I find it refreshing to see someone who isn’t phony and scripted. She’s not a glam queen, but I think she’s a real lady that most people can relate to.

Newt and Cain crawled into bed together weeks ago.

You mean the TTC that Perry abandoned due to lack of constituent approval?

That TTC that would have limited where Mexican truckers could drive to a corridor?

Well, now Obama has passed the law to comply with NAFTA that gives then the right to drive on ALL of our interstates.

That was my point. He sounds like he’s not prepared to be President.

I recall a question asked at about this point in the 2000 cycle ... who is the president of Pakistan? Bush didn't know, but he sure as hell found out, didn't he?

You can blame NAFTA on Poppy Bush and Clinton.

“I thought she was honest, direct, graceful, loyal, intelligent, and would make a first Lady I could be proud of.

I have no idea where you are coming from, but bless your heart, anyway.”

LOL - Kaila sounds young :-) When I was in my 20’s (maybe even 30’s), I wouldn’t have understood Gloria and might even have been somewhat turned off. But for the millions of us who’ve lived awhile and understand the realities in making a long, loving marriage work, she’s all the qualities you name above. A real lady of integrity.

Guess my satirical referring to the horse trying to hijack the thread to bash Perry, didn’t do so well.

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.


I just liked it so much I repeated it.
