Yikes: Fourth Republican Senator Says He Won’t Vote For Herman Cain For Fed, Sinking Nomination
Hotair ^ | 04/12/2019 | AllahPundit

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.

Cain is qualified. He was the chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s Omaha branch from 1989 to 1991, and the chairman of the entire Kansas City Fed in 1995 and 1996.

And personally, I’m fed up with these evil lifelong promiscuous Democrat women accusing Republicans of misconduct years and years after it supposedly happened. It needs to be ignored from now on.

By the way, Romney owns the company that owns the voting machines used in the Utah election. I seriously question his legitimacy.

They've already gone on record. The votes aren't there.

Force the vote anyway. Then, use the "nay' votes to bash these trolls. Next time, they won't be so brave.

Romney is probably the one organizing this.

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.

Trump scared the Republicans for a time and they cooperated. They now realize he isn[’t going to have them poisoned so they are reverting following their natural leaders, the Social Democrats.

I get that. Cain hasn't been a Fed guy in more than two decades, and he's basically a political figure NOW. The guy's track record over that time is a political one, not a financial/economic one.

This is why I'm not a Steve Moore fan, either. He's a smart guy, but he's spent the last few years as a political advocate and media pundit. A number of his written articles and interviews in that time contain statements that would never stand up to close economic/financial scrutiny.

See post 19. Better yet look him up on Wikipedia and see how wrong you are.

Did you know that Herman Cain was a on the board of directors for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City? And, was the board’s chairman in 1995 and 1996? Certainly he is qualified for the Federal Reserve. He's being rejected because ... why? ... racism?

Three of them are Murkowski, Collins, and Romney. No surprise in any of them.

Forcing a vote will make even more Republicans come out and go on record by voting against Cain. It would make Trump look weak. Just find someone else.

“I’m not talking about his position on interest rates or anything like that, but the sexual harassment stuff.”

Ah yes, you mean one of the first trial runs of “Kavanaughing” conservative candidates.

Yep. I would ask any of these Republicans who object this question:

“Would you still think the same of Herman Cain if these accusations had been made against him AFTER the Brett Kavanaugh hearing?”
