It takes an awfully dubious nomination to rile up a bunch as obedient as the Senate GOP to the point where they’re not only willing to bork a Trump pick but to bork him before he’s even been formally nominated.
I did not think they had it in ’em.
Cain’s loss is *probably* Stephen Moore’s gain, though. It’s almost unimaginable that Republicans would embarrass Trump twice by rejecting both of his Fed nominees.
North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer said he wouldn’t back Cain if President Donald Trump nominates him to the Fed and hopes the president will make another choice.
“If I had to vote today, I couldn’t vote for Herman Cain,” said Cramer, a Trump ally. “The allegations that drove him from the presidential race are just so obviously serious. I’m not talking about his position on interest rates or anything like that, but the sexual harassment stuff. Until it’s better explained I couldn’t vote for him.”…
Cramer joins GOP senators Mitt Romney of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Cory Gardner of Colorado in expressing opposition to a Cain nomination, which would leave him with just 49 potential Republican votes. Senate GOP leaders, including Republican Whip John Thune, have already said they don’t anticipate Cain could get a single Democratic to support his confirmation.

Scumbags, all.
Hold the votes. No matter who says what. Make them put it on the record.
Racists
Yes,hold the votes.
Romney?
Hold the vote.
Let them show which of them is against a black man.
The GOP is pure scum.
There’s more competition for the leadership position of the Republican Senate Quisling Caucus than I thought.
Proving who really pulls the strings of the Senate.
They've already gone on record. The votes aren't there.
RE: Romney?
Yes, the real father of Obamacare.
Bush League Republicans MUST be replaced.
These Republicans sound just like the petty Democrats who said they wouldn’t meet with Judge Kavanaugh, or vote for his confirmation.
I’m not sure Cain was a solid pick in the first place. He’s good for A role in Washington, but probably not THIS one. I’m not a fan of putting people on the Fed board who are primarily political/media figures.
The swamp runs very deep.
want to bet Bishop Romney (Cain’s mortal attacker
in a previous election) leads the attack.
Racist RomneyCARE - imposer of his agendae.
.
This guy is the biggest POS of them all. Murkowski and the others are bad news also.
Romney will primary Trump, I am going to bet you that he does, and he’ll also run against Pence too.
There would be an audit, and neither party want that.
RE: I’m not sure Cain was a solid pick in the first place. He’s good for A role in Washington, but probably not THIS one.
Herman Cain HAS EXPERIENCE with Federal Reserve.
He was chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City Omaha Branch from 1989 to 1991. He was deputy chairman, from 1992 to 1994, and then chairman until 1996, of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
He is MORE THAN QUALIFIED. The opposition to his nomination is POLITICAL and has nothing to do with qualification or competence.
Agreed. There are BETTER qualified Conservatives for this role.
