The GOP establishment is making a concerted effort to prevent its own party’s frontrunner from clinching the nomination; several prominent Republicans have spoken out against the Republican candidate leading in the polls; and former presidential candidate Herman Cain thinks these in-party efforts to sabotage Donald Trump are “absolutely insane.”Speaking to Fox host Neil Cavuto Wednesday afternoon, the former CEO of Godfathers Pizza and onetime contender for the Republican nomination blasted the party’s establishment for the “palace revolt” (in Cavuto’s phrasing) it was waging against the apparent nominee. Cain said:
I believe that the American people through these first group of presidential primaries, they are making a very strong statement by supporting Donald Trump. And for the establishment or these intellectual conservatives to be against Trump and actively working against him, I believe it’s absolutely insane. One of the reasons that the RRepublican party has suffered some damage control over the past several years in terms of that brand, is because they’re not listening to the people. Donald Trump has been getting all of the — he’s been winning these elections and I think they ought to stand back and get over it.

You say that like it is a bad thing...
Hey Doctor, may I get an appointment for this afternoon? LOL!!
Saw his statement and had to re-read.

Never considered my self as the quote ‘in-party’ but guess you have called me that and I repudiate that classification!!!
Seems if anyone does not think the same way you think is “insane”. Sorry but think that is an incredulous statement.
Disagree with your statement!!! Some may be ‘unhinged’ but insane, will never agree!! You know nothing about me. How many other posters do you know well enough to say they are ‘insane’.
I could say think you are projecting but will not say that.
Hope your day goes better!!! Really do.
“the Republican party would be destroyed for decades to come.”
What part of THE GOP is already destroyed, don’t you get? Do you think they give one rip about you or me?
They are hopelessly corrupt! IF you don’t see it, you are part of the problem.
I’m a huge Cain fan. He had my vote until he dropped out. I honestly think he could have saved us from 4 more years of the wun.
That being said, I don’t know that he would be the best VP pick. Wouldn’t Trump need someone with DC contacts and/or strong foreign policy creds to balance out the ticket?
Everyone hates Trump except PATRIOTS.
Cain could LOCK the south
You say that like its a bad thing.
The GOPe lives in their own little bubble. They only come out about every four years to beg for money and promise us that they’re good little conservatives, and they agree with everything we want, and they’ll get right on that when they get elected.
And then they screw us.
Thanks GOPe genius. It must be frustrating to see that most on FR do not want to get down on their knees to your opinion. This is not a debating society either.
Convenient for guys like you who hold opinions but can't defend them.
The G O P e plan is to possibly put Romney on the front of the ticket in a brokered convention. According to the prisobplanet.con story if Rubio doesn’t win Florida Romney steps in. I don’t want to see Romney on tv or on any ballot.
I am comfortable in my opinion and feel no need to be defensive to GOPe loving quislings like yourself.
If he did, the Republican party would be destroyed for decades to come.
