Bubba Clinton “allegedly” raped a woman and, while he was AR governor, he dropped his pants and told Paula Jones to “kiss it”. Jones later settled a lawsuit against Clinton and was awarded $800K. And Clinton became President.
So why can’t Herman Cain become President.
“So why can’t Herman Cain become President.”
Because he maxed out at 25-30% of Republicans and has lost ground since then. At this point, it someone isn’t already a supporter, they aren’t going to become one. First, they have to make a judgement call that all the women are lying, and Cain is telling the truth. That isn’t made any easier by the mixed messages coming from the Cain camp, and Cain himself. Then hey have to be willing to hear about it and defend him for the next year, while hoping nothing else comes out. Finally they have to decide that his ideas are so much better than any other candidate that it’s worth it to support him. That’s too steep a hill for the undecided voter to climb.
