Franken will resign on Friday and between Friday and Tuesday the Democrats will go balls to the wall against Moore.
December surprise.
And the Republicans in the senate will be with the Dems. I wish a decent person was in the senate so he could record all the conspiracies in the meetings. They’ll never allow Moore to attend any meetings.
“Franken will resign on Friday and between Friday and Tuesday the Democrats will go balls to the wall against Moore.”
You might be right, but I don’t think the Dems have the $$$ to defend Franken’s seat next fall. Minnesota will have to hold a special election. It’s a special election the Dems can’t afford :-).
Minnesota isn’t “safe blue”. Trump lost the state by a mere 1.5%. If the economy keeps rolling and Trump is successful with another major piece of legislation, talks of a “blue wave” will turn towards a “red wave” in the Senate.
I’m sure the Dems will attempt some legal shenanigans if Franken resigns. That’ll backfire in their face ... the Republicans, led by Trump, seem to be fighting back these days. The Dems know that and they’re petrified.
Now, assuming they try and sweep Franken’s issues under the rug and let him stay ... I wonder who will be the first to play the race card and point out that Conyers was forced out, but the lily white guy gets to stay :-) ... they really need to force that issue home :-).
I never thought a Trump Presidency would be so much fun :-).
