It’s positives that moved Cain from a single digit, third tier candidate to the leader in most polls. He was calm and reasonable during debates where others were pointing fingers and flaring up towards other candidates. You are viewing him with a very biased eye. You see mostly negatives where others see many positives.
And I say again that Cain is not as schooled in PCness and pandering as most politicians and that has led to some of his controversial statements.
I don’t look for the most PC candidate, but it seems to be important to you as you’re so focused on his very reasonable comment about Muslims (for anyone familiar with the basic beliefs of that religion).
I was focused on his pattern of “non PC” statements and then either saying he was joking or scolding us for noticing and then demanding that we move on, “that’s the end of it for me.”
