That was perhaps the dopiest post on the thread, but I'll humor you (or myself) with a brief explanation.
Herman Cain was the CEO of a large, nationwide corporation. When he became the CEO, that company was losing $8 Billion dollars a year. He streamlined their operations, and turned the company around so well, that they began making PROFITS of $2 Billion dollars a year.
I don't care what business you're in, those are mighty impressive results. The executive skills required to perform that sort of miracle are exactly the same set of skills that are possessed by the most successful political leaders.
That was 8 million dollars, for ONE year, and 2 million later. Which is actually easy to do if you abandon growth and cut all your underperforming stores.
That's standard turnaround policy. The problem is that 10 years later, they still were not growing, while the market they were in WAS growing, so much so that several other pizza companies grew PAST Godfather's during that time.
And that's before we get into an argument over whether being a good manager of a mid-sized pizza chain has any bearing on running the country.
He's accomplished, but he wasn't even the best conservative Pizza company executive. That's not denigrating his significant accomplishments, and they do make him a person to take seriously; but we are talking about the Presidency here, not trying to find the next CEO of Domino's Pizza.
