Hermain Cain Reveals Why Trump Was Elected

In an interview with the Western Journal, 2012 GOP presidential primary candidate and Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain said that the media had “overshot the runway” when it came to their invective against President Donald Trump — and that it was part of the reason why he got elected.

Cain gave the answer in response to a question from the Western Journal’s Josh Manning, who suggested that “maybe (the media) have turned up the temperature too much in the last two years, and people are starting to wake up to what they’re doing.”

When asked what he thought about that, Cain, who has never been shy about voicing his opinions, responded, “I think they have overshot the runway. People are waking up.” . . .

The good news is that Americans do seem to be waking up, and the evidence isn’t just anecdotal. A Morning Consult/Politico poll in June found that 71 percent of Republicans trusted the president to tell the truth over just 7 percent for the national media, with 22 percent professing not to know. . .

In a May poll, those numbers were 38 percent trusting the media, 32 percent trusting Trump and 29 percent unsure. The number trusting the media also shrank month-over-month among all three categories — Democrats, Independents and Republicans. (Read more from “Hermain Cain Reveals Why Trump Was Elected” HERE)
