Franken’s going to resign. He wants to stay on, but with every scalp, the Mewtoos take the witch hunt only speeds up. He’s done.
As far as Moore goes, he’ll be investigated by the ethics committee under oath and if there’s solid evidence of malfeasance he’ll be removed. That’s due process and people deserve due process.
Franken didn’t really admit to anything, did he? He denied some of the accusations, and said he remembered the other accusations in a different way from what the accusers said.
Franken is losing altitude like crazy....he is no longer the fair-haired Democrat he thought he was.
He’s in show business——all his contacts for big money are in Hollywood. That’s not gonna play well among the working class.
He raised $25 million from celebs then promptly gave it to a buncha Democrats (as bribes to support his political ambitions).
That’s just begging for 30 second TV ads by an opponent.
He posed for a pic cupping a sleeping woman’s breasts-——like it or not......that’s his political legacy.
Franken head fake.
Franken was just groping for support.
Call me when he draws his last paycheck.

This is and always was a ploy to be used as a lever to pry Judge Roy Moore out of his seat if once seated. Gropen, er, Franken leaves only if Moore also surrenders the right to stay.
Hard to say if this will work to the advantage of the Democrats as much as they claim, because both sides then are perceived to have reprobates in office. The Democrats, having once demanded their man leave, look like hypocrites if he then remains, and they lack any kind of party discipline. Republicans, on the other hand, have been ambivalent about whether Moore should be prevented from playing out the election at all, and letting the people of Alabama decide. Should Moore be defeated on this single issue, then so far as the Re;publicans are concerned, the issue goes away. But what if Doug Jones turns out to be equally as much ethically challenged, or worse, a reprobate once in office? How has that helped the Democrats in any way, shape, form, or manner?
“Culture of corruption” is not one-sided, by any means.
Yep...that's what I've been saying too. He'll point at Moore and say if he's fit to serve so am I. Except nothing, absolutely nothing , has been proved against Judge Moore and there's no good reason to believe any of his accusers.
I believe he has gone too far down the resignation path to back out. If Moore wins and Franken backs out that would be great however. Him backing out tells the American public that he is an untrustworthy hypocrite.
There are always plenty of conspiracies over there but what feverish little brains that can be found are melting.
The 2 main theories are:
1. This was a plot by republicans to turn dim senators against one if their own. How this could be done isn't really addressed, they aren't into details very much.
2. This is a plot by Gillibrand to eliminate Franken as the possible nominee in 2020. They are really tearing into each other over that one.

“He will never resign!!!”
If he does not resign, he will be pushed out. He stinks so much even the dirtiest leftists don’t want him.
Follow the dots. Now don't expect anything different.
It will be interesting to see how he spins his justification for staying but I think he will indeed try to stay. Why else would he leave the door open to that and never even intimate guilt or apology?
I don’t see how Franken survives.
He is a complete PRICK and worthless POS. The people of Minnesota should be ashamed of themselves for putting him in the senate.
His problem is he thinks he’s smart...
Ummm...this?
