“They know Franken’s replacement will be a Dem.”
Very true. Mark Dayton the former senator now governor is a socialist through and through. Not how his family make their billions (think Dayton/Hudson Corp and Target) but they haven’t seen a liberal social program they aren’t falling all over.
Franken was an extreme liberal much in the mold of other famous senators of Minnesota such as Mondale and Humphrey. They will find some moneyed liberal from the Minnesota upper crust to follow in Franken’s path.
Give Judge Roy a chance. He can defend himself if it must happen and the true Republicans will remember this smear campaign for what it is.
also they will claim the high ground before the alabama election
Humphrey was a conservative compared to Franken.
