“forgetting all the emotional BS for a second, leave Frankin in place.”
He’s toast and will be gone in less than a month. Ellison will be appointed to fill the remainder of his term. The Dems will crow about another “first”.
Bannon will recruit a MAGA candidate to run against him.
Minnesota gets a Republican Senator.

Likely MN will get one anyways. Hopefully it will be someone that supports MAGA and gets a rally or two from Trump.
That is likely all it’s going to take to turn this state Red. Gov Mumbles will likely be replaced with a R too.

“Ellison will be appointed to fill the remainder of his term.”
Actually, even better. While Franken doesn’t have to run again until 2020, Ellison or whoever replaces him will have to run in 2018, and the 2020 (if they win in 2018). Ellison only gets the seat for a year, until the next federal election.
