Hey D1.... Hope yer doing well. Just a quick rant from me.
Not saying guilty or not guilty in this case as I have not followed the soap opera in this event closely. That said .... when one runs for political office they have to know what mistakes they have made and when in life before they do such.
Mere fabrication an accusations can be dealt with as a he said she said etc...
Vetting ones personal, business and political record of events is MANDATORY for POTUS.
For example I helped a person get elected locally as her handler . manager and we set down and discussed from birth to current events in her life with her parents and husband. We had complete tax records, names of past employees, disgruntled or not. School records, friends and enemies etc and got her friggin ducks in a row and when the mud started slinging as it does IN ALL POLITICAL RACES she made her opponent look like the liar and fool he was with facts and copies of her records for the folks on hand.
I would suggest to anyone that can not counter any such event or accusations of improper behavior ethics etc with facts , times, dates and reliable witnesses to think twice before entering a local dog catcher or presidential race.
It will get ugly and you, your family, friends, coworkers etc have to be ready for trash being dropped on you and yours 24/7 by the opponents “machine”.......
My Opinion based on my experience in a small local election....
I hope Mr Cain’s just “suspending” his campaign for a while versus leaving / quitting all together.
Stay Safe D1 !
Thanks for your comments and relating what you did to prepare for countering the inevitable. Your actions sound like a very prudent thing to do and I’m glad it shot down the attempts. Nice work.
As for suspending rather than simply quitting, I’m not sure you can suspend a campaign. Donors and supporters are obviously going to see the suspension as quite negative. Can you get them back, re-spark the momentum?
I am sad that it came to this.
Relationship or not, this lady had no reason that was honorable, to come forward. She was going to cause pain to Cain’s wife and family. I would not want to have a guy pull all the antics Clinton did from our side of the isle.
With Clinton, you had very credible charges of rapes and physical abuse. I try to be honest about judging people, but I don’t see Cain in that same light at all.
Take care bud.
One of the best comments ever read on this!
I hadn’t even thought of that...a good offense is better than a good defense...offense meaning what you said, be prepared with the response immediately.
Thanks for your telling us about your experience.
