WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer, N.D., on Thursday became the fourth member of his party’s caucus to tell reporters he would vote against a nomination for former pizza executive Herman Cain to join the board of the Federal Reserve.
“If I had to [vote] today, I would vote no” on Cain, Cramer told reporters Thursday on Capitol Hill.
Cain has yet to be formally nominated by President Donald Trump, but last week Trump announced that Cain was his pick to fill one of two open seats on the central bank’s board. Trump intends to nominate conservative economist and author Stephen Moore for the other vacant spot.
Cramer’s announcement all but doomed Cain’s chances of being confirmed by the Senate if Trump were to formally nominate him. Earlier this week, GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Cory Gardner of Colorado, and newly minted Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah all told reporters they could not support a nomination of Cain.

Primary the bastard....................
Bunch of racists.
I’d put Herman somewhere that would make Reps regret their decision.
So the GOP has something against black men?
Mitt only does what the god of Kolob orders him to do, nothing more, nothing less. He can’t help himself, he’s under orders.
Did Romney say “why” he is opposing Trump over this appointment?
Lisa Murk? Yeah. She’s a whiner.
Romney getting even against both for their opposition during McCain-Romney’s failure to fight Obola in 2008-2012?
Any “legitimate” reasons given?
They sure do grow a lot of RINOs out in the "heartland".
Time for some primary action.
Trump should do it anyway. Force them to hold confirmation hearings.
Cain is fabulous behind the mike. He’d fill up TV screens with multiple Clarence Thomas moments. He’d either flip a couple of RINOS or at least make them all start buying Maalox in 55 gallon drums.
I’m a sexist low-life . . . I want rid of MurCOWski and Collins. I am a religious bigot . . . I want rid of hypocrite Mormon Elder Romney. I also want rid of Rat LiarCreep Doug Jones.
I’m done with these pissant Republicans. It is always the same, pathetic Democrat lights - Romney, Gardner and Murkowski. Don’t know about Cramer. There aren’t enough words to describe my disgust with these people, especially Romney and Murkowski. Of course, nothing will happen to them since McConnell lets them run wild.
You said it! Force them to reject Dr. Cain. Put them on record, the worthless RINO cucks!
I agree, but I do not think that Herman wants to fight anymore.
Trump should do it anyway. Force them to hold confirmation hearings.
Who needs enemies when you have jackasses within your own party
For all practical purposes, they should be considered to be Democrats. And to think that I voted for the bastard Romney when he was the designated loser to obama.
Revenge of the #MeTOO social movement, and zero, zip, nada to do with Cain’s qualifications in business and economics.
