Agreed, but Cain’s risk is that he has solid adherents who will overlook the bad press and see it for what it is. He won’t make it in the general if he can’t cut it now. His answers of late make him look amateurish and dangerously naive.
Reagan had well thought out positions that took him decades to refine. His gut could lead him because he’d studied so hard and thought so deeply. The myth that Reagan was a dolt actually benefited him against his enemies.
Excellent points, and quite true about Reagan. Cain will sink or swim in the next 30 days.
