Ol' Shucky Ducky's Nomination Tanks



Former pizza CEO and failed Rethuglican Presidential candidate Herman "Shucky Ducky" Cain is reported to be withdrawing his name from possible nomination to the Federal Reserve Board after several Rethuglican Senators said that they would vote against him. Cain, whose 2012 Presidential run was cut short by a number of women coming forward to allege sexual misconduct, was noted for his lack of preparation for the Presidency, proposing a farcical "9-9-9" tax structure that was severely regressive and would wreck social safety net programs, and also for being deeply unfamiliar with foreign policy.

Cain was, and is, a joke, and his floundering nomination demonstrates once again how unserious demagogue and unfit buffoon Donald "Rump" Trump is.

  1. Cain keeps popping back up, like the proverbial bad penny. He is rotten and ignorant on multiple levels, so why not retire his political aspirations permanently? Right, because Trump always needs useful idiots. Speaking of which, the other guy under consideration for the position, Moore, is also terrible. Swampers!

  2. donnah -- We're hearing that Trump floated Cain in part to draw attention away from Moore's awfulness. Hope it fails.

  3. I can believe that. Trump loves having a lot of spinning plates so we all get distracted, say from the Mueller report or his tax returns. But sometime the plates are all going to wobble and fall, and I hope it's soon.
