It will be (it will blow over) if Mr. Cain is VERY CALM, COOL and most importantly PATIENT, goes into Battle Dress mode, pivots and redirects the narrative. Difficult but do-able. Also, the drive by news cycle will change within a week. Furthermore, the real cream on the top of the pie, an Israeli attack on Iran and/or a European economic crash, most likely to occur now soon I am hearing, is going to wipe all of this off the front page quicker than you can say Jim Thompson. In the meantime, Camp Herman will continue to be raising money and holding their own in the polls I suspect. They just have to hang in there for the long term, the pack of rabid dogs will move on to something else. Their readership and listeners will grow tired of the story.
That’s just it. He hasn’t been calm or cool. He’s been changing his story, blaming everyone under the sun except himself for at least not being prepared to answer the issue and snapping at the press. He was given 10 days from Politico, and if he’s blaming his former staffer, he had about 7 years to get his story down. He’s failed.
You think the zer0 administration would have left this issue alone with their BILLION dollar war chest? Get real. 0bama had sealed custody papers opened just to knock a candidate out of the race for a Senate run. This is part of the vetting process.
The scandal isn’t the issue, the way he’s handled it is. He’s showing how he reacts under pressure and it’s not reassuring at all.
