Cain’s campaign unraveled not over allegations, it ended when he flubbed softball questions on Libya, then on Cuba.. The accusations and handling of them did show ineptitude, but had he not flubbed the important stuff he likely would have gone on a little longer.
He repeatedly screwed up, then blamed others for it, even to the point of demanding no cameras ??? Really? You are running for President and you can’t handle being filmed?
Sorry, but his campaign ended in the debates, and flubbing absolute softball questions and then his reactions to those flubs afterwards.
I like the guy, but he’s not remotely ready for prime time.. the impropriety allegations, and more importantly his handling of them just reinforced a pattern he’d already shown in his flubs in other areas.
The allegations are juicy fodder for the press and public, but his campaign effectively ended over his ineptitude not where or not his penis landed.
The other part of the Fall of Cain was the fact that he had NO political record to fall back on. He was literally a candidate about nothing but what he said. When that started crumbling, he couldn’t say “Hey, remember when I voted to ...” All he had was 999 and other trite sayings.
