Herman Cain blinked and he’s out!

Herman Cain

I’m not a lefty, so will not cry over Herman Cain suspending his campaign because he is a brother…, plus, and in my very humble opinion, he was never a serious contender to start with. In all seriousness, I could never picture him as the leader of the free world. Why?

Because, first he never held any kind of elected office and suspending his campaign is prove he is not cut out to sit at top. The press hounding and scrutinising every inch of a presidential candidate is a given, and Mr. Cain tripped at the first hurdle they put in front of him. People who make it to the highest office in the land, the White House, possess a certain resilience he did not enjoy. Look at Clinton (Bill), he managed the Monica Lewinsky affair and two terms with ease, Bush (George W) had his challenges and even Obama with his birth certificate and religion – all men were undeterred and never once wavered.

Most presidents as candidates and during their term in office face all sorts of allegations, fight them off and stay the course – and if we are lucky they write a book and tell us what’s what later!

Secondly, he has very little to offer – his 999 that doesn’t add up, forgetting and muddling issues during the debates and the last straw was his incident with Libya!!! It was the prove many needed to decide if Herman Cain is a serious man who likes to joke or a joke who wants to be taken seriously!

Don’t get me wrong, he is probably a good man and seems to be a nice man but he is not a Commander in Chief type of man.

Yes, he wasn’t a serious candidate. But, he will be remembered as the first black conservative who didn’t use his race or his grievances in his past to get to the top of the polls (for a while, at least).

In a funny old way, he’s helped to break the glass ceiling of black conservatives. It’s perfectly okay to be pro-markets, pro-freedom and black. Good for him.

I agree with you in that he started something and should get credit for it – but it will be a while before people talk about that.
