not really. Governor Dayton is planning to replace him with a former VP of Planned Parenthood.
“They have republicans in Minnesota?”
Keep in mind that Trump only lost the state by 1.5% ... the Dems can’t afford a close race here, that’s why they want Al to remain. If the Republicans had brains, they’d run a Trump-supporting candidate in Minnesota and possibly pick up an unexpected seat should Franken resign (I doubt Franken is resigning ... the Dems are broke and can’t afford surprises).
It’s funny ... the enlightened Dems kick a black man to the curb in Conyers, yet keep the pasty white guy in office when it comes to Franken. Racists! :-).
Her husband is in the Hockey Hall of Fame. At least she knows about winning, unlike most current GOPers.
With a +1 senatorial pickup its time to shift the game to due process from the they must all be beleived. The dems would never risk a Senate seat, ever. Franken is staying.
The game afoot is to keep Trump crippled (Pence is much worse to them) until the midterms. Then, If the Dems notch a majority in both houses, move to impeach Trump during the election campaign and try to prevent the re-election of Pence.
Not a bad gambit since it is being played against the singular worst political party in the world.
He'll be gone before the end of January.
Sen. Al Franken (D), who is expected to resign in the coming weeks, sure he is....
Also remember the corallary -
A Moderate is just a Liberal that’s Lying.
Probably pretty safe. Real estate agent. Been in the Minnesota senate since 2012. Married for 32 years. Husband is Phil Housley, head coach of the Buffalo Sabers.
Shame she won't stand a chance against Smith in Minnesota.
If he resigns now he loses his pension, kick him out now and deny that little bast@ard his cushy retirement.
He’ll lose if they run a mussulman ...
Franken’s hand picked successor is Tina Smith, the Lt Gov.
Getting a Muslim into the mix would be fun to watch but highly unlikely.
Anyway, he’s staying. No way Fish Lips is going to let himself wind up aging, unemployed, and with no pension.
Can any FReepers tell us how she is? Is she a RINO?
