Tell me this... Do you want Cain answering the call at 3am? Do you really feel comfortable with that? When the phone rings how much time will he have to confer with his experts and military commanders to get up to speed?
Every time he’s asked what he would do about anything - he say’s he’d have to confer with his experts etc. and then make a decision. Really? How long is that kind answer going to fly? Right now Cain seems like a two trick pony - answer all questions with “I’ll confer with my experts” or “999”.
I’ve been saying all along there is no there there. And it’s going to show more and more the further we go along.
Just my view... flame away...
I’m OK with Cain. Here’s why.
True, he doesn’t know everything yet, but he will be surrounded by military people who understand how to brief him quickly and he’s a quick study. From what I’ve seen from our presidents, their faulty military actions are largely due to indecision or lack of courage.
I love Newt. He’s amazingly intelligent. But I have been around long enough to see him disappoint when we needed him to stand firm. I’m assuming he’s changed since then. I know I have.
But on the standing firm part, my gut is telling me that Cain’s the man.
Of course, I’d vote for either. But I really like Bachmann.
Your assessment of Cain is so perfect. Thanks for being so candid.
One other thought that I forgot the mention (call me Rick)... As was noted during the debate introduction (or first question) - Presidents are sometimes confronted with an unexpected national security crisis early in their term. Will Cain be ready or will he still be studying up?
I read one time that a good CEO will hire people smarter than he is in area's of importance...I think Cain would do that...I also like that he doesn't use his family as a prop. Or at least hasn't until now...No suck face kiss like Gore did. That was enought to make one vomit...
