GOP support for Stephen Moore falters, leaving Trump’s Fed pick with slim chance of confirmation

President Trump’s plan to put ally Stephen Moore on the Federal Reserve Board appeared on the edge of failure Tuesday, after one Republican senator said she was “very unlikely” to vote for Moore and several others sharply criticized him.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) became the first senator to go on record as a likely “no” vote.

“Stephen Moore, I am going to make a comment on that,” interrupting a trip to the Senate floor to return to address a reporter after Moore’s name was mentioned. “Very unlikely that I would support that person.”

Ernst, who said she had shared her views with the White House, said she “didn’t think” Moore would be confirmed if Trump follows through on his plan to nominate the former campaign adviser, adding that “several” senators agree with her on Moore.

Her assessment was affirmed by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who said Moore’s best hope was to barely squeak by.

Fucking shame what the GOP has become.

Good. But you have to wonder what sort of "only the best" candidate #DimwitDon will nominate now.

I dare anyone to try and keep up with all the ways the "Law and Order Party" is doing exactly the opposite:

Um, you do know that is not the argument, right? Start a new thread.

Shirley's law, guess you're not familiar.

Yeah, I know it, and she uses it to point it out to you, which you haven't quite caught on to yet.
