“However, I don’t think he has a CLUE on foreign affairs.
Therefore I question his fitness to serve. “
I don’t have any doubt that he’ll do fine in foreign affairs. First, he understands Muslims to the point of not even wanting them in his cabinet. Second, he’s for a real fence on the border, with teeth. Third, he understands Israel and will NOT throw them under the bus.
Much better than Obama or Bush-43, for that matter. Nothing to worry about with him.
It's an explicitly unconstitutional religious test.
Second, he’s for a real fence on the border, with teeth.
Except for where he claimed he was joking about it, backed off the real fence, with teeth, and has talked up electronic assets and virtual fencing.
Cain's not thought through his policies, not thought through the issues, not thought through his messaging.
At this point, voters interesting vetting candidates and not anointing them would be foolish not to ask themselves whether Cain is truly serious and studying the issues or if he's just going to wing it. The one-on-one with debate Newt will be a key test.
9-9-9 looked like a plan from a serious candidate with serious ideas but even the messaging and responsiveness on that plan has been mishandled and there's still considerable confusion. The web version needs rewriting. Cain's taken the "they haven't read the plan" approach to critics which is a mistake. I like 9-9-9 but if I can do better answering critics than the candidate, there's serious problems in that campaign. I felt the same with Perry.
I’m not worried about this either. Cain has a solid foreign policy team:
