The problem with Cain is, he has absolutely not ability or experience in Foreign, Military or Security affairs, not to mention, emergencies.
There only one candidate who even comes close to qualifying for that category and that is Rick Perry. His military and tactical career is well known. He was an executive officer and has an honorable and stellar record of service.
There is no substitute for the office of Commander In Chief than one who has served like Perry has served.

How exactly (aside from “protecting” the border) does Perry have foreign affairs experience? He hasn’t dealt with the Russians, Chinese, Middle East etc...
IT DOESN’T MATTER because presidents have military advisers.
that’s a big reason why candidates often change their positions on foreign affairs once they are in office and they get “filled-in” on the facts.
