Always that chance. I certainly was not a fan but I will remain respectful for sure.
RIP. Prior to entering politics, he had a very impressive resume:
Herman J Cain (December 13, 1945 – July 2020) was an American business executive, syndicated columnist, and Tea Party activist. Cain grew up in Georgia and graduated from Morehouse College with a bachelor's degree in mathematics. He then graduated with a master's degree in computer science at Purdue University, while also working full-time for the U.S. Department of the Navy. In 1977, he joined the Pillsbury Company where he later became vice president. During the 1980s, Cain's success as a business executive at Burger King prompted Pillsbury to appoint him as chairman and CEO of Godfather's Pizza, in which capacity he served from 1986 to 1996.
Here is a great clip of him schooling Pres. Clinton on how the proposed healthcare plan would not work for the food industry:

R.I.P. Mr. Cain I enjoyed listening to you over the years... He loved this country even with it’s faults.

Herman Cain, a business executive and former Republican presidential candidate, has died after contracting the novel coronavirus. He was 74-years-old.
The prominent conservative businessman was hospitalized weeks after he attended President Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he served as a surrogate for the Black Voices for Trump committee.
Cain endured an extensive case of Covid-19, receiving oxygen for his lungs and remaining in hospital for more than three weeks after receiving his diagnosis.

Like I said I'm gonna remain respectful althought I can well recall the comments by some who will remain unamed when someone on the left politically passed.
Weeks ago I read Herman had CV - and then I forgot about it. When I read on Monday that he was still in hospital (and on Oxygen) I figured Herman probably wouldn't make it.
I was hoping to vote for him in 2012 but the swamp gave us the robot (Romney). Cain was the tea party fav candidate.

He had the 9 9 9 tax plan.
RIP. Sad news.

Out of respect to all . Who on the list were these people that you speak of. Are we talking during this pandemic or in years gone by?
Yep. Most recently when Senator Lautenburg passed you would have thought it was like the boogie man had been silenced on the now defunct "current events" board.
If I had to guess, one lives in California.
That guy like Herman Cain did great things with his life. Same with John Lewis.
Big picture. You see a lot more of the person when you do that instead of focusing on what “letter” in ( ) they have after their name.
The guy died in what 2013 and you still are upset about it...they guy was 89 and in his 5 th term... there were in his own party people who were glad . Why were they glad ? So some poor schmuck could have a chance.After 80 everyone should have mandatory retirement. Politicians and judges are the biggest abusers of overstaying their value.It’s a power trip for ALL of them.

A great American. RIP.
Hahaha, that’s a heavy chip he’s been carrying!
When I saw that he was CEO of Godfathers Pizza, my mind went right to the scene from Goonies...(maybe I've lived under a rock but i think i always figured that was a made up pizza place for the movie, haha)
Mouth:
Yeah, and I bet it was even more amazing than the time you ate your weight in Godfather's pizza.
Who said I was upset about it? It's what I've come to expect from your faction. If I was of a like mind I might have torn into Cain in a similar fashion
I do not understand your point, e5fdny. Would not the choices one makes factor into your judgement of them, maybe over all else? Or am I overlooking your meaning?
What faction ? Your first sentence clearly dripped with anger and scorn .Why because “ your guy” was sent off with ridicule from some. It wasn’t me and I will temper what I should tell you about Frank... and much that went in and still goes on in this state I reside in. Unless you know the actual games that were played and deals which were made don’t tell me about my faction.
Look what I said later on in the thread.
Hopefully that explains more of what I meant.
That's a given whenever there's something classless going on.
Did his best in 1996 to keep the tipped minimum wage at $2.13. It remains there to this day. I do not weep for HC. I hope he finds peace, though.
I think Dave might have been referring to people like you who appear to navigate EVERYTHING they do and say based on their political leanings. For instance, you just praised Cain and his passing and made up some story about how people were glad Lautenberg died in the same thread.
Rest in Peace Herman Cain.
Sad sad story. Gotta wonder if he regrets his stance on masks and social distancing. If I were him, I would have hunkered down, but I guess he just wanted to live his life.
There were many who did not like Lautenberg. On both sides. Frank was a smoozer of the first kind. I didn’t say anything bad about the guy but Frank was a manipulator and he lasted 5 terms.people “ like me”... you don’t know me... and what I said was true... I liked Herman Cain and sorry if it hurts... there were some in his party who finally felt free.
Says the angry turning an American hero’s death into a triggered rant. Per usual.
