This has nothing to do with Allegations, Cain’s campain failed for one reason and one reason only.. CAIN.
He’s not even a third stringer, had no idea what he was doing. I like Cain, he’s a nice enough guy, but he’s never had any chance of surviving an national campaign.
Be serious for one minute, this guy was bombing at softballs, and then declaring no cameras.. Seriously? You think the republican candidate whoever it is isn’t going to have to face cameras and scrutiny? Far far more than anything Cain has faced during a national campaign.
I know lots of real people with sunny dispositions, doesn’t mean that I’d hire them for jobs they clearly are incapable of handling.
Now, as to gutter politics, I really don’t give a damn if Herman Cain had an affair or not, and hell if he lied to his wife for 13 years while paying some woman money behind his wife’s back, don’t care about that either.. certainly think the latter fact lends credence to he was likely fooling around, but again, don’t give a damn if he was. What I do give a damn about is the guy can’t handle himself, isn’t deep enough intellectually or politically to remotely be anywhere near the Presidency.
He’s gotten chewed up and spit out by a primary process, and most of his flubs have been on softballs and small items, no way this guy could handle the big chair, not anytime soon.
We already have a man in the Oval Office who clearly is not capable of the demands of the presidency, and it is streamrolling him, and creating a far more dangerous world. We cannot afford another one, just because he has a brighter smiler and a sunnier disposition. I don’t care what letter is beside his name. Cain is not, and never was up for the demands of being President, and its damned good he’s gone now, rather than getting absolutely obliterated in the general election.
Believe me, I’d love to see someone COMPETENT and CAPABLE and VIABLE to the right of Newt and Romney, but like it or not, there isn’t anyone, and hasn’t been anyone. 2012 was a horrible class, but that’s the reality of what we have. Wishing someone to be a Reagan just because he says a few things you like to hear, doesn’t make it so.
Cain, wants the presidency? Fine, GO WIN A DAMNED ELECTION, ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING IN POLTICS, BUILD UP A BASE, HONE YOUR SKILLS ETC, before you put your resume in for the highest political job in the world. No one showing up with a resume that had ZERO military service, and Zero political service has EVER won the Presidency, there is a reason for that folks, and its not the MSM or the left wing, its pragmatic reality. You don’t hire inexperienced folks for important high profile jobs, period.
That guy Newt has built up nothing. He has defecated on conservatism repeatedly over the years.
He is for sale to the highest bidder. His wife is one of them. He took a cruise and paid her off at Tiffany’s. What a loser. The woman will be no asset either, she looks as cold as ice.
Get your head straight.
I wasn’t even all in for Cain, but I WILL DEFEND him over a unprincipaled smartass RINO.
I pretty much agree with your post...though it’s been a good thing that Cain’s been in the running. Had it been Col. West we’d be talking a different story I think...even if he faced the exact problems as Cain’s contending with. Just a different mindset and far more abilities under his belt. Yet even the Col. said he wasn’t ready for the Big Leagues...he wanted to learn “washington” and he’s doing just that.
