The view from the Hill:
1) If Trump loves Moore so much, why hasn't he nominated him already?
2) What will the vetting show?
3) Getting 4 Rs to oppose him (or delay consideration) could happen in a blink
4) Cain's withdrawal hasn't shielded Moorehttps://t.co/KP2XTP70HA

Attacking establishment

Attacking establishment Republicans is likely a plus with Trump, who loves Party purges as much as Stalin.

At least Moore and Trump agree on the climate hoax:

Stephen Moore, who has called climate change “climate improvement,” has repeatedly cited the debunked Oregon Petition...

Steve Moore also has some serious trouble with Senate Republicans not happy with some of his work against establishment Rs. And Herman Cain vows to stay in but may already be done. The great @burgessev and me. https://t.co/RMM2Fyut4z

Swamp Filling, Trump Style:

Swamp Filling, Trump Style: Moore changes his mind on abolishing the Fed, now that Republicans are about to confirm him, likely wih zero Democrat's votes, to the Fed for a 14 year $183,100/year appointment. CNN:

The nomination immediately drew criticism because Moore has been a fierce critic of the Federal Reserve and its chairman Jerome Powell. In 2015, he called for abolishing the Federal Reserve and returning to a gold standard (Moore told CNN's Erin Burnett on Thursday he changed his mind on the gold standard. He told CNN's KFile on Friday he no longer believed in abolishing the Federal Reserve).

In a column in December, Moore called for Powell to resign for hiking interest rates. Moore claimed the comments were probably written "in a time of anger," but in February, he called Powell one of Trump's "worst appointments" and called for firing hundreds of employees at the Federal Reserve Board who he called "worthless" economists.

They skip out on supporting

They skip out on supporting their own kids, and wives, but are on selfless, God given, mission, to save freedom, America, and every last, precious fetus.

forget nasty divorce issues, an embedded link there tells ya he has the qualifications Trump really wants: disagreement with the IRS about what he owes them and and even more important, he wrote a fawning book: Trumponomics

I swear, I think he doesn't let anyone even try to vet nominees. He's got a black book of names of friendlies and he picks from that. His version of Linked In Connections. As per my link--at the bottom, this one was buddies with Paul Erickson (Maria Butina's boy toy) back since the 2008 election.

Edit to add: I figure White House staffers stay because they are thinking if they put on their C.V. "I survived the Trump White House" that means that they can deal with anything including crazytown. Working for Idi Amin would be easier.

Stephen Moore is currently at this rightvwing "think tank" :

Stephen Moore is the Distinguished Visiting Fellow for Project for Economic Growth at The Heritage Foundation.

The "project for growth"? Distinguished? A "Fellow" who refuses to support the growth of his own kids?

Republicans have The Best People..!!

Trump's kinda guy! The new Trump Fed pick,and author of "Trumponomics", child support scofflaw, Stephen Moore:

A court official accompanied by four police officers had to break into the home of Stephen Moore, Donald Trump’s pick for the Federal Reserve board, after he repeatedly failed to pay debts to his ex-wife. The group used a locksmith to force their way into Moore’s house in Virginia in May 2013, according to court filings. They were there to prepare the property for a court-ordered sale in order to raise $330,000 that Moore owed his ex-wife after their divorce. link

Looks like Herman Cain is up next. Hard to believe that Cain is the choice in the MeToo era.
