Herman Cain Would Run In 2016 If God Said He Would Allow It [View all]

Or, welcome to the GOP Clown Car version 2.0: Electric Boogaloo Die Harder Edition. And the first passenger to exit the GOP Mini Cooper? None other than the 2012 ringmaster Herman Cain!

The man who temporarily turned the Republican Party’s 2012 presidential primary into an outright farce, instead of a mere slow-motion embarrassment, is not yet ready to rule out doing the same thing in 2016. That’s right — Herman Cain is mulling another run for president.

Or, to be more specific, God is mulling another Herman Cain run for president, according to Herman Cain.

“I do not know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future,” Cain said at this year’s edition of the annual Republican Leadership Conference. “And I trust in God.”

It’d be tempting to shrug this off as an empty play for attention, but as the Huffington Post notes, it was at the RLC in 2010 that Cain floated the idea of gunning for the White House. In the time since, Cain’s stature and public notoriety has increased markedly. His “9-9-9″ campaign platform in 2012, for example, was a favorite punch line for bored reporters and late night talk show hosts alike.
