I heard Herman Cain say that it was the lawsuits (4 of them IIRC) that got him to drop out. He said he could not of afforded them.
Cain also had been charged and had to settle a sexual harassment complaint when he was President of the Restaurant Association. That made the charges more believable. Trump as far as we know has never been charged in court. I bet the MSM looked up and down to see if he had.
So what did the Rats accomplish? Four years later they are looking at a guy who CAN afford the lawsuits. In fact, a guy who LOVES lawsuits. Further, a guy who has a track record of WINNING lawsuits. If I were a lawyer and got a call from one of these five women today, I would not take it.
My bad for missing that. I seem to remember though the sex scandals really took the wind out of his campaign.
