I have no recollection of Cain “half-confessing.” What I remember is that he backed out because of his wife. And the only comparison I am making between the two men - Thomas - are their race and their conservatism. Whether African-American men are good or bad, as long as they are conservative, they will be destroyed.

I have lived long enough to have a certain sense as to the veracity of people around me. If memory serves, Cain caved after the very plausible exposure of his THIRTEEN YEAR affair. His accuser was quite plausible. That’s on top of all the others. Yes, officially, he quit because he was concerned about his family. Unofficially, he was admitting to at least some of the impropriety he was accused of. When he’s asking for my vote and support, I get to include ALL the evidence, including his demeanor and that of his accusers. I do not check my eyes and ears and reasoning powers at the door when I am looking at candidates. Your mileage may vary.

Or viciously attacked, at least. I get that. Not just A-A men, either. Ref: Condoleeza Rice, Janice Rogers Brown. But for the same reason that that indiscriminate attacking is wrong, it’s equally wrong to climb into the tank for them merely because they seem conservative and have black skin.
I want the best man or woman in the job of POTUS. In my highly supportable view, that man is not Ben Carson.
By the way, I shudder to think how a race between Herself and Ben Carson would turn out. It would be a house of horrors for “our” side, start to finish. He’s not up to the job of running against the spawn of satan. But that’s not the main reason why I’m against Carson — I don’t think he’s as fit as Cruz or Trump, and maybe not much of an improvement over Rubio, if any. THAT’s the real reason I want him out of there.
