Just think how much bigger his contacts list will be when heā€™s on the Fed board!

Not that we should be shocked. Itā€™s as if Trump wants the Nigerian email guy on the Federal Reserve.

Even the Republicans would not confirm this clown to the Fed.
I sure would like to see who would vote for Mr 999, but donā€™t think it will get that far.

I understand his Economic Pizza Pie Charts are incredible.

Cain has a colorful history aside from the sketchy emails, and was once a Republican nominee for President before multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct.

ā€œā€¦ was once a Republican nominee for President ā€¦ā€
He didnā€™t actually get the nomination did he? Instead he ran for it and dropped out. Wouldnā€™t ā€˜candidate for presidentā€™ be a more accurate depiction than ā€˜nomineeā€™?

And you know he does this for the sheer joy of helping others attain wealth. Thereā€™s no pissible way he is getting paid for spamming his email contacts, right?

Herman Cainā€™s greatest ā€œaccomplishmentā€ as the head of the National Restaurant Association was his successful lobbying of Congress in 1996 to uncouple the minimum wage for tipped workers from the federal minimum wage, so as Congress raised the federal minimum wage, wages for servers, bartenders, and other workers depending on tips for income has stayed flat at $5.00 an hour. He also played a role in shooting down health care reform during the Clinton Administration.

Any other news about him just reinforces my opinion of him.

Wikipedia, which canā€™t lie:

Cain 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.

ā€¦ small shares that are easily manipulated by promoters and manipulators.

Um, I think that you meant ā€œā€¦ small shares that are shares which are small and easily promoted by promoters and manipulated by manipulators.ā€

Me: ā€œMe too.ā€

Tough crowd here today. Miracles can happen.

At least three Republican senators plan to vote against Herman Cainā€™s prospective Federal Reserve board nomination (Romney, Gardner, Murkowski), endangering his path to confirmation.
Wall Street has raised fears that both Cain and conservative economist Stephen Moore, a former Trump campaign advisor, would be too political to serve on the Fed board. Cain also faces allegations of sexual misconduct that surfaced during the 2012 campaign.

Cain has not been nominated. Cain has not publicly accepted the non-nomination. I am putting my money on a no-show for confirmation. @left_in_washington_state @bboerner @clauscph
