ā€œThe reports said Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Cory Gardner (R-CO) also expressed opposition to Cain. The Wall Street Journal also named the four senators as opposing Cain.ā€

ā€œFor every woman who has accused me of sexual harassment, there are thousands who have not.ā€

That is all.

That excuse will be good enough for Cramer.

Susan Collins is almost finished with the rough-draft of her stern warning.

Trump put forward two manifestly incompetent,dishonest, and unqualified names for the Fed. One has repeatedly gotten facts wrong and make clear that he knows nothing about monitary policy, and lacks the credentials to be on the Fed (Moore). The other has done the same (Cain). Both are ā€œpolitical figuresā€, and both support Trump… One (Moores) has a series of weird and disqualifying financial trangressions regarding child support and back taxes.

The only difference I can see is that one is White, and connected to the Club For Koch whack-a-doodles, and the other is Black (or in today’s Gropper party the N-word) So guess who the Gropper Party decided to kick off the bus?

As of now, two senators (who were elected in '18) will and two senators (who have 2020 races) won’t.

It also doesn’t help Gardner that he’s now in the ā€˜Dean Heller’ seat.

I’ve not yet given up on hoping this might be the long-awaited Harriet Myers moment. It’s an infinitesimal hope, though.

I can see them actually shooting this Fed crap down.

Fucking with the economy and making a mockery of the Fed would really screw up with their ā€œblindā€ investments, and all those millionaires in the Senate don’t want their hoards of money to become worthless due to screw-ups out there.

I had to go back and look it, but you were pretty damn close:

"For every one person that comes forward with a false accusation, there are probably thousands who will say that none of that sort of activity ever came from Herman Cain.ā€

Even talked about himself in the third person. (kisses fingertips)

Gosh, I wonder why.

Have you SEEN the Board?

Yeah. They are who we think they are.

Hey, and Donald Trump’s sister could use a Federal Job at full pay now that she had to retire from the Appeals Court. She is only 80. And knows a lot of stuff from being a Federal Judge.

It’s not about race. It’s about the fact that serial molester Cain misunderstood this one German girl who was screaming ā€œNein, Nein, Nein!ā€, and adapted it as his 9-9-9 tax plan.

He’s a fucking idiot who has no business anywhere near setting fiscal policy which literally has global impacts.

So what you’re saying is, it’s not JUST about race.

Fair point. To me both idiots are equally unqualified, but very reasonable point that we haven’t had the Senators come online to critique the other dude…

Bing, Bing, Bing, and we have the winning answer. But I don’t think that this is their personal $$$, Remember where Cramer R-citibank), Romney (R-Wall Street), and Gardner (R- ā€œsecurities and investmentā€; https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/summary?cid=N00030780)'s bread is Buttered. and Murkoswski is probably actually concerned about the nation and believes in an independent Fed.

The interesting question is what pressure the banks/Wall Street can put on other senators to sink Moore.
