Mitt Romney poses a major headache for Trump on Fed appointments
CNBC ^ | April 23, 2019 | Jeff Cox

Posted on 04/24/2019 10:07:57 AM PDT by Trump20162020

President Donald Trump’s effort to stack the Federal Reserve with ideological allies has run into a familiar foe: Republican Sen. Mitt Romney, who’s likely to continue to act as a bulwark against the central bank becoming a target for political appointees.

Herman Cain’s decision Monday to withdraw his name from consideration as a Fed governor was largely academic. Romney and three other GOP senators already were poised to torpedo the former Kansas City Fed president and pizza CEO’s nomination if it was brought to a vote.

Time for a new national park in Utah. I’m sure there is some prime real estate the environmentalists would love to steal from the people of Utah. POTUS should not oppose those efforts.

The Mueller Coup enabling GOP just could stand for a media savvy supporter of POTUS at the fed.

Ha! As if the “Central Bank wasn’t ALREADY a target for political appointees! What they MEAN is so it won’t have any REAL conservatives on board. (Or am I being too cynical?)

Cain is/was a bad dude. Can’t keep it in your pants, you deserve what you get. Shame, shame, on Herman Cain.

Herman, you are a liar and a deceiver. God can forgive you, but I don’t have to. Pull the fork out and GO AWAY!

Cain is a good man, hated because he is black
by the Mormons led by insane Bishop Romney. You too?

Let’s just make Utah one giant ICE detention camp. Congress won’t fund a wall on the Mexican border but they never said we couldn’t build one around Utah and then ship all the illegals there!

Maybe the Senate won’t replace any Fed Governors and he can just abolish the Fed altogether.

Only a dimwit would think Romney’s a headache for Trump when really he’s a headache for the country.

I have never once regretted not voting for this creep back in 2012. He’s worse than Obama. At least with Obama, you knew he was the enemy.

Wait... I heard Herman Cain withdrew his nomination after the Senate failed to confirm in 30 minutes or less...?

Couldn’t resist...

Romney was just taking one for the team. None of the Senate GOP wants to support POTUS or have him a strong supporter of President Trump’s policies on the fed.

It looks like Mitt Romney is just going to take over the job John McCain was doing. At least that is the way it seems now.

Are there any federal offices in Utah?

Because they can be moved to states that have friendlier senators than Mitt Romney and Mike Lee.

Just saying.

Mitt doesn’t have as much leverage as he thinks.
