Cain’s cabinet would be a hell of a lot better than what we have now. He’s no dummy, check out his educational background...he could be a rocket scientist, oops he was one..
I wonder if Cain was really a rocket scientist or is that’s an urban myth? Cain didn’t know what an Aegis class cruiser was supposed to do the other day. For someone who worked in rocketry in the navy earlier in life, you’d think he’d know about the capabilities of a popular anti-missile system that the navy has had around since the 1980s. http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/postmodernconservative/2011/11/02/cliff-clavin-cain/ And then there were the remarks on China’s nuke capabilities. He appears a bit confused for a rocket scientist. I blame The Smoking Man, though.
Cain wasn’t a “rocket scientist”, he wasn’t a “scientist” in the literal sense.
He had a degree in mathematics, and a masters in computer science (my CS friends will be upset I deny them the “science” moniker when it’s in their degree, but I digress).
He was a ballistic anaylist, which means loosely he did trajectory stuff, how missiles would operate. He didn’t design and build missiles.
Not saying he isn’t a bright man, I’m just getting hypertechnical about the “rocket science” thing. Like when they used to say Carter was a nuclear engineer.
