They are dropping like flies.

Here's an old song I like.

Ha

It wasn’t too long ago that some dems were touting Franken as a possible 2020 presidential candidate.

Franken *specifically* denied this report.
Said he’s still thinking about it.
Stay tuned.

Note to Al:

Through it all just keep telling yourself “I’m good enough. I’m smart enough. And doggone it people like me!”

Well Dems are a stupid lot so having Franken a 2020 bet would be worse than an SNL skit.

Bizarre.

I do not think Franken should resign for this.

He serves conservatives better in his seat than we are likely to get as a replacement that will be harder to beat!

Franken is repugnant - even for a Democrat. A nasty, smirking, self-important little troll of a man without a single redeeming feature inside or out.

What a pleasure it is to see him sink into the sewers from which he came.

I think Ellison would be easier to beat than Franken.

Poetic justice if the governor appointed the Republican he cheated out of office the first time around.

In case he does resign, does anyone know the Minnesota law on how his successor would be chosen? Wonder if there is a chance Norm Coleman could get back into contention for the seat?

The Dems are forcing the resignations of Franken and Conyers hoping to shame the Republicans into abandoning Moore before the election. But they have nothing to lose because both Franken and Conyers will be replaced by Dems.

I doubt the Dems will nominate a white male, no matter how kooky, to be their presidential nominee.

Maybe he can compromise by changing his name from Franken to Gropen; or not ...
