I don’t want Franken to resign.
I want him to stay as Senator until a republican beats him in the next election.

The democrats have now decided he will be a more of a negative factor than he is worth.

That’s one reason I want him to stay.

I want him flopping around the democrats neck like a dead albatross for the 2018 elections.

Another reason is that if he resigns his replacement will likely be muslim Keith Ellison who will be even worse than Franken.

if he resigns his replacement will likely be muslim Keith Ellison who will be even worse than Franken . . .

. . . who might also prove to be a bigger albatros than Franken come 2018.

Don't forget that Trump actually came close to winning Minnesota. The last time a GOP presidential candidate actually did that was in Nixon's 49 state landslide of 1972. Although Reagan came even closer than Trump in 1984 . . . a shift of less than 3000 votes would've made it the first unanimous electoral college vote since George Washington.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I want him to stay and be the butt of criticism for the next three years. Replacing him with another Democrat just gives the appointee a bully pulpit.
