Al Franken will seek third term in 2020

If anyone doubted Al Franken loves his job and wants to keep it for a long time, Minnesota’s junior U.S. senator announced in a Pioneer Press interview last week that he plans to seek a third term in 2020.

He also makes his intentions perfectly clear in his new memoir, facetiously titled, “Al Franken, Giant of the Senate.”

While he lampoons President Donald Trump, congressional Republicans and the rest of the Washington establishment, he writes that being a senator is the greatest — if not most fun — job he’s ever had. And he figuratively gives lots of big, sloppy kisses to the Minnesota folks back home.

Excellent. The campaign commercials should be a hoot.

Providing they can find a Republican candidate with some balls.

How many women will Franken need to grope to win that election?

How many baby raping jokes will he tell to get laffs at fundraisers?

Creep.

UhOh! Valerie Jarrett (Obama's brain) just delivered the sentence for Franken. He's toast.

Before he runs for a third term, he has to make it through his second term first.

Maybe he should feel out the electorate first.

Yup.. he likely wants out, Gov Mumbles will appoint a left wing radical nut job to replace him and then they can go back to attacking Moore.

Well played.

I'm groping for a response.

Lest we all forget - The only reason Franken is a Senator in the first place is due to voter fraud, felons being allowed to vote, and Minnesotans.

Right now as we speak - is Judge Roy Moore down on his knees thanking God for Al Franken?

He should be.

This may take the heat off of him.

Remember when Franken had to have how many recounts until he got the proper number of votes to steal the seat away from Coleman?

And the Repubes did nothing.

Given the way President Trump plays, I don't for a second believe this is coincidental.

"...recounting Al Franken votes..."


They were “finding” ballots in vehicle trunks, misplaced in government basements, and every other bizarre place.
