Gloria Cain: ‘He would have to have a split personality…’
WASHINGTON – Back in the ’90s, I was “relationship consultant” at the LA Weekly, so I’ve interviewed enough men, as well as women, on relationships to know a bit about this subject. Gloria Cain has a very sad case of denial. But she’s got a partner there, with Rush Limbaugh leading the indefensible for the right-wing. We’ve seen this before and it never has a pretty ending.
Poor Mrs. Cain. If there was one woman, I could see giving Mr. Cain the benefit of the doubt.
Two women become curious.
Three women become a problem.
Four women mean Mrs. Cain doesn’t want to know the truth.
Obviously, she just can’t handle the possibility that her god-fearing man, the father of her children, grandfather, and the man who preaches and sings the gospel so earnestly can’t heed the message.
Yes, Gloria, your husband is a womanizer. No, he’s likely worse. He’s a serial sexual harasser who lies about it, then blames the women.
If I had a nickle for every woman who was shocked to learn the man she loves has a roving eye and ego, well, I’d have a lot of nickles.
There is no evidence that Howard Cain has a mistress. That’s the good news for Gloria Cain.
The bad news for Mrs. Cain was seen with Herman’s “Princess Nancy” slap, revealing his feelings toward women are very, well, let’s just say complicated. His wife is likely his Madonna. All other women are, well, not whores, but more like fair game, as long as he doesn’t get caught.
Double lives or alternative existences for men is nothing new. It’s not a split personality. It’s arrogant entitlement to whatever he wants.
Mrs. Cain wants us to believe that not one, not two, not three, but four women are all lying about the allegations they are making, which all sound similar.
While her husband thinks blanket denials will get him off the hook, because there isn’t evidence to prove anything, except through the women’s words. So, Herman and his team point to hard times of Ms. Bialek, one accuser who went public, even bankruptcy, because the 1% Mr. Cain represents think your net worth is equivalent to your human worth.
In the CNN poll, more women reveal they believe the accusers than the men.
Mrs. Cain just can’t imagine the Herman she knows is a womanizer.
It’s how a lot of wives convince themselves they’ve not been made a fool.

I noticed they didn’t put Gloria Cain in that little thingy where you vote and comment.
If they did, I would give her a good rating, not because I believe Herman is a serial anything, but because she came across so well, whether she be delusional or waiting for more facts. Loyalty, I think.
Duck,
Also notice that Madonna [the singer] has a rating photo in the lineup. As I read the article, it seemed to me the author was using “Madonna” in the religious context, not the recording artist context.
tidbits
Oh, there are two of them.
…Bout like Hillary Clinton.
I wonder if Cain would outdo Bush in putting the moves on Angela Merka-merka-merkel-stan
Gloria Cain is a loyal political wife who is standing by her husband. Her point of a split personality is questionable, however, when you look at men like Jerry Sandusky, who to most of the world appeared to be a perfect candidate for citizen of the year– only his victims knew differently.
tidbits, the rating widget is inaccurate often. I think it has served its trial period. The other day there was something about Michelle and it didnt know if it was bachman, obama, or mcgillicuddy
Taylor pretty much nails it.
Mrs Cain is in absolute and utter denial.
The “Princess Nancy” comment was extremely telling.
Perhaps she’s being too trusting but personally I think loyalty to one’s spouse comes pretty naturally and I took her to be saying that she doesn’t so far see evidence that her husband has that kind of ‘split personality’ (not that she’s naive and doesn’t realize that people sometimes do in fact compartmentalize well and behave completely differently in different circumstances.)
She’s really in an impossible situation…and at least she’s saying that if she knew that the allegations were true (if there were firm evidence rather than hearsay) that she wouldn’t be the little woman who stands by her man. I don’t know what more she could possibly say at this point, assuming she’s not convinced that he’s a serial womanizer.
