the POS hasn't resigned yet, and if it does it's a sacrificial lamb to go after Moore and Trump

Al Franken announced his resignation on the floor of the Senate today, a development that makes abundantly clear that the Democratic and Republican parties have never been more different in modern American history than they are right at this moment.
Franken’s speech started off on a surprisingly defiant note, going much farther than he had up until this point in asserting that the charges made against him are not true. But that only reinforces the point I’m making about the two parties, as I’ll explain in a moment:
“Over the last few weeks, a number of women have come forward to talk about how they felt my actions had affected them. I was shocked. I was upset. But in responding to their claims, I also wanted to be respectful of that broader conversation, because all women deserve to be heard and their experiences taken seriously. I think that was the right thing to do. I also think it gave some people the false impression that I was admitting to doing things that in fact I haven’t done. Some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others I remember very differently.”
As I argued in a piece today at The Week, when it comes to sex scandals, it’s usually the most guilty, least repentant politicians who wind up surviving, whether it’s Bill Clinton or Roy Moore or Donald Trump. Those latter two have seen their party go through the same cycle: At first the party (or at least significant portions of it) is outraged at revelations of their misbehavior and withdraws its support for their candidacy. But then, when it appears that the offender is not politically doomed, they come back to stand behind him.
Many Republicans rescinded their support for Trump after the release of the “Access Hollywood”

I don’t think Frankenstein resigned up to now.
Yup, here it comes...Trump must resign to maintain the dignity and integrity of our Government...
**************
Dec. 12, 2017, Franken wants to be on the Senate floor when Senator elect
Roy Moore is sworn in. Look for him to make some comments and maybe
even resign then and call for Moore to do the same. JMO.
Franken didn’t resign... he ‘talked’ about resigning.
Franken hasn’t resigned - he’s going to resign sometime in the future - he says......
“He resigns after he got caught....”
Not even !
He’s not even admitting to being caught ! He’s saying more of the usual, narcissistic BS “I’m not guilty but my accusers deserve to be heard, the dear little things. To show you how much better I am than all of you, I’ll tell you what - I’ll quit.”
Wait’ll we go a bit further with the Clinton maneuvers “... You made me quit. You see what you made me do? I quit just to satisfy you peeons. You’re all worthless and I’m the only one who would step up and do the right thing. There is no measuring my honor and distinction.”
Where was Bill Murray with his C-4 when we needed him?
Oh wait how about the Senator from NJ, never mind they have a republican gov.
“Franken will say “Well once Moore goes so will I”
Correct-A-Mundo.
Moore loses, Franken stays.
Moore wins, Franken does a wait and see how effective the Dim attack plan is.
IMHO, folks are already tuning it out, the Dims have overplayed it.
so says WaPo, who tried desperately for 2 years to get Bill Clinon back into the White House with Hillary...and failed.
the same WaPo that has spent the past year bemoaning that Bill Clinton didn’t get back into the White House with Hillary...and failed.
the same WaPo that has tried to get President Trump out of the White House...and failed.

Because the slugs at the Washington Post didn't make a big deal out of it... didn't even cover Juanita.
Truth is Washington Post slugs saw the "D" by Bill Clinton's name and gave him a pass. Post reporters only concern was the investigation was costing '40 million dollars...
The lack-talent woman-abuser hasn’t resigned. He said he would in a few weeks. He is an established liar...so???
Dukakis played a gopher in a Tank. Mondale played an American.
He didn’t announce a resignation. He announced an intent to resign in the coming weeks.
The comPost is fake news.
And then there is Teddy Kennedy. Party of integrity my aching tuckus!
The ‘Rats need to come out in support of Moore for rehabilitating himself from underplaying the Age/2 + 8 yr guideline ~40 yr ago.
The ‘Rat perps are still on the loose.
Hubert Humphrey gave Mondale his start in politics. Mondale was appointed state AG when the incumbent became a judge. Then he was appointed US Senator when Humphrey became VP. Mondale wouldn’t have gotten as far as he did if he’d had to get there on his own. Minnesotans may not have picked him if he hadn’t already been chosen for them by the party bosses.
Plenty-o-moles still on the Congressional fairway.
The Democrats with their self righteous breast beating all the while ignoring the 600# gorilla in the corner, serial sex abuser Bill Clinton. The stench of hypocrisy burns the nostrils.
“He resigns after he got caught....”
...
Franken didn’t resign.
