Cain Gets Emotional When he Talks About his Wife's Care for him During his Battle With Cancer

It was Cain who got the tears flowing.

The retired Georgia businessman, who noted that his wife of 43 years, Gloria, was with him, was overcome with emotion recalling the day he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

Luntz quietly interjected: “Take your time.”

“I said I wasn’t going to do this!” Cain said, light-heartedly berating himself.

He continued: “It’s as bad as it gets, I will never forget before my wife and I were about to get in the car I said, I can do this…”

Cain paused again. The audience was silent.

“She said, ‘We,’ ” Cain finished, and covered his face with his hand.

He removed his glasses and cleared his eyes with a handkerchief.

Later, Luntz asked Cain to share particular regret of his life.

“No one is perfect,” Cain answered. “And I believe that I have had a serious of little failures rather than one great big disaster.”

Cain, whose campaign has been dealing with a barrage of controversy when sexual harassment allegations leveled at him in the 1990s where unearthed earlier this fall, didn’t talk about those incidents, two of which ended in financial agreements

Instead he talked about another challenge of corporate life: time away from home.

“One little failure in my mind was, I didn’t believe that I was home enough when my kids were growing up,” Cain said.

Cain grew emotional again talking about the “the sacrifice I made to be able to climb those corporate ladders.”

“But my wife was that rock. She was that nucleus,” he said.

A very touching moment, this man deserves better than fair weather supporters who run to the nearest RINO whenever the press turns their smear machine on him.

I stand with you Cain!

No, Cain’s WIFE deserves better than a man who is a Clinton wannabe.

What I see from the life of THIS black leader is that his marriage was NOT one of convenience, to provide cover for a secret gay life.

Uh...ya know?

YES YOU KNOW (deep down).

I use to respect you. My wife happens to have know Mr Cain personally and professional for 7 years. That statement by you about Mr Cain was sad and stupid.

Accusations are not proof of anything. How dare you presume him guilty based on nothing but cheap sleazy accusations.

Shame on you.

Bless his heart. He’s really been under a great deal of pressure with those horrid media generated untrue accusations. Let alone all the traveling those guys have to do, and all the x- rays they take at the airports sometimes twice a day! I hope they will all be able to take a long weekend to be home with their families after Thanksgiving.

Judging from your posting history, I don’t think I’m going out on a limb by calling you a racist. How you’ve managed to stick around for so long is beyond me.

Being diagnosed with a serious health issue is a life changing thing that will affect any man for the rest of his life. Stage 4 colon cancer must be about as frightening as it gets.

A pox on you and anybody you find solace with in such misery as you have just shown us. Low class would be a step up for you.

Already judged him, have you? Based on what?

That’s very unfair.
