"I think what turned it was, people are not stupid," Cain said on "Fox & Friends" this morning. "They didn't fall for it. And what we heard last night, through the vote, was the voice of the people."

He added that he was "relieved" that the American people focused on Trump's substance and not the media's negative spin.

"The American people were smart enough, contrary to what the Democrats thought, to elect someone that they believed in."
