After moore gets in he’ll say he’s staying
Absolutely. I'd bank on it.
This is and always was a ploy to be used as a lever to pry Judge Roy Moore out of his seat if once seated. Gropen, er, Franken leaves only if Moore also surrenders the right to stay.
Hard to say if this will work to the advantage of the Democrats as much as they claim, because both sides then are perceived to have reprobates in office. The Democrats, having once demanded their man leave, look like hypocrites if he then remains, and they lack any kind of party discipline. Republicans, on the other hand, have been ambivalent about whether Moore should be prevented from playing out the election at all, and letting the people of Alabama decide. Should Moore be defeated on this single issue, then so far as the Re;publicans are concerned, the issue goes away. But what if Doug Jones turns out to be equally as much ethically challenged, or worse, a reprobate once in office? How has that helped the Democrats in any way, shape, form, or manner?
“Culture of corruption” is not one-sided, by any means.
Yep...that's what I've been saying too. He'll point at Moore and say if he's fit to serve so am I. Except nothing, absolutely nothing , has been proved against Judge Moore and there's no good reason to believe any of his accusers.
