Donna Brazile: ‘Cain Train Will Continue To Make Stops But Fewer Passengers Will Get On Board’

» 27 comments

CNN contributor Donna Brazile predicted the salacious new allegations against Herman Cain of an adulterous affair with Ginger White would severely impact the former Godfather Pizza CEO’s chances at the nomination. The Situation Room‘s Wolf Blitzer asked the Democratic strategist if he could survive the latest accusations. “The Herman Cain train will continue to make stops all along the country but fewer and fewer passengers will get on board,” Brazile said. “They clearly don’t want to be on a rocky train ride with someone with an unproven record and people don’t really know who the real Herman Cain is. The American people will forgive, but they won’t forget.”

Mary Matalin thought the Republican candidate’s campaign would still be salvageable, but only if he was telling the truth. “I think adultery and infidelity, voters tend to be on occasion more forgiving…(but) lying like that, if it is, that’s why I think he can’t possibly be lying. That would be a character flaw — if you could look somebody straight in the eye and lie. That’s a problem,” said Matalin.

“I don’t believe this is an issue of race,” Brazile added, as Cain had suggested. “He’s had ample opportunities to set the record straight, I have to say something as a woman. How would you come forward knowing that your reputation, your family, your entire life will also be under scrutiny, I have to believe there’s a reason for her coming forward, and like most Americans, I want to know why.”

    I’m afraid the Cain Train made its last stop…It couldn’t even make it to Iowa or NH.  Too much weight for that “Big Boy” to make it over the mountain.

    Waste of time talking to Brazile about an opponent to Obama.

    She thought O’s Nobel Prize was well deserved.

    Might as well ask Little Debbie Schultz or Pelosi.

    Brazilla is the worst of the O-bots.

    Isn’t this the same woman who defended Slick Willy and wasn’t she part of his bimbo squad or whatever they called it?  Makes me laugh how your media folks all of a sudden want to get into the bedroom of a presidential candidate – I don’t thinkCNN ever reported on Juanita Broderick, not once. And I guarantee they never even mentioned Sinclair and Obama.

    Oh well….this is what we have today – the media working hand in glove with the DNC to put out garbage, true/false/orotherwise, about republican candidates.

    …The Cain train will keep going, but where exactly is it going?

    An opponent to Obama?  More like an opponent to sexual harassment laws.

    The Cain Train has been derailed, due to several women on the track.

    Yeah, but because it’s been more than adequately shown he’s a neophyte in terms of foreign policy and is too fuzzy when it comes to details in general terms – not because leftists like Brazile can so not stand seeing a black man receive support from the Tea Party that they had to resort to throwing woman at his feet to side track him.

    Should they had simply waited patiently and seen events take their course, they’d have seen the non-politician fall by the wayside – yet they can’t afford to wait around for that.

    People, can’t you see what’s going on here? WHY IN THE WORLD would a self-respecting, nay NORMAL, woman OUT herself as a participant in an adulterous affair? It just doesn’t happen. a HOOKER might, since she’s already in the business of selling sex for money. She doesn’t enjoy the “justification” that could be claimed by Ms. Bialek and Ms. Kraushaar in their belated search for “justice”.  This supposedly respectable woman is prepared to RISK ALL, for what, what’s the gain? Normal people simply don’t expose themselves to such gratuitous risk. And who the hell is this Herman Cain “upstart” anyway? He could NEVER beat Obama, right ?, or so the Dem-leaning media “pundi(n)ts” (sic) would dearly have us believe. Why be even bothered with the alleged peccadilloes of this alleged political nonentity? Why not ignore his alleged misdeeds and focus on “real”, “viable” candidates like Romney, Gingrich, Paul, Huntsman, Santorum etc, “substantial” candidates who have all held elective office, especially as none of the allegations has been substantiated and on the public record. Well, there IS a reason, IMO. As Cain himself alluded, someone is terrified of his candidacy. If Cain is right, someone has made a shrewd calculation that his candidacy must be invalidated and DESTROYED AT ALL COSTS, and the sooner the better. Notice how the Bialek-Kraushaar-Allred activity died down as soon as it appeared that Cain was headed for a downturn. Then as soon as it appeared that the downward slide was being halted, however temporarily, out comes this latest “bombshell”. It was now time to bring out the heavy artillery, and all for an alleged political neophyte. So what do we have? Allegations of sexual harassment morphed into allegations of sexual assault which gave way to allegations of sexual infidelity. Can we see a pattern here? This looks like a pattern here, something akin to a CAMPAIGN! Why mount a campaign for an alleged nonentity who never had any chance of unseating the incumbent President? It could only be that wiser heads have determined that this Cain guy singularly poses a MORTAL THREAT to Obama’s re-election chances and simply MUST be eliminated from the picture to keep the all-important RACE CARD as a viable re-election tool. That done, the remaining Republican contenders should be

    It’s just a shame that Cain being an idiot wasn’t enough to end his ego massaging. Donna Brazille, also an idiot.
