Possible.
Walter Mondale and Jesse Ventura are still available and from Minnesota.
If trump remains on a roll they will run Biden or a Biden like candidate and save their “all-stars” for 2024.
"He looks like a TV magic queer. Is he doin' one a them magical tricks?"
That’s what I was thinking.
Bye jerk...
Well played, madam.
Franken must be the dumbest Democrat who ever lived. What Democrat would have even thought of stepping down because he is grinning in a photo of a sleeping woman?
Criminal slime should have said goodbye from the gallows, like Saddam Hussein.
I think they are missing a word after Giant.
Along the lines of Douche.
Tina Smith is just as bad in terms of how she’ll vote, Tim Pawlenty, get your kiester in the race.
Weird stuff going on with regards to MN Lt Governor.
When Smith quits to become a Senator the State Senate President Michelle Fischbach (R) automatically ascends to the office. She wants to keep her Senate seat, the state AG thinks she would have to resign it and potential court fight looms.
Republicans have a 1 seat majority in the State Senate, a vacancy would create a temporary tie and Republicans don’t that, though the seat appears safe to me, just outside St. Cloud.
Republican have offered to hold a special session to elect a Rat President who would then ascend but the rat Senate leader has rejected the idea. Apparently Fischbach can’t just quit as Senate President, I guess.
Fischbach has said if forced to resign her Senate seat she’d run in the special for her vacant seat and quit as LT if she won.
Dayton has had health problems if I recall, it would be nice to have a GOP LT.
Best case is Fischbach wins in court and can keep both jobs. If not I think she should suck it up and keep the post, we shouldn’t have trouble holding her seat. It would be poetic justice if Dayton croaks after filthy democrats rejected their chance to keep the office.
That’s like what happened in SC, and the fast turnover in the job when Ken Ard was forced to retire and then Glenn McConnell left to become a University President. The fella next in line (Republican John Courson) did not want to become Lt Governor and give up his Senate seat, so he stepped down as President Pro Tempore and elected a guy who was fine with doing that, a Conservative Democrat named Yancey McGill, getting the job unopposed, and McGill served until the office came up for reelection, but didn’t run for it. He switched parties in 2016 and is now challenging Henry McMaster for Governor in the primary.
Curiously, it happened once again earlier this year when 86-year old GOP Senate PPT Hugh Leatherman did not want to succeed McMaster as Lt Governor when he succeeded Nikki Haley, resigned his job for a day, allowed the body to elect Kevin Bryant, who then became LG, and then they reelected Leatherman to his PPT post again. Like McGill, he is also running against McMaster for Governor this coming year in the primary (coming at him from the right).
McGill, yeah that pissed me off to no end but nothing bad happened and now he’s a Republican.
Neglected to realize, there is a vacant rat seat in the MN Senate right now, special is Feb 12. Special primary on Jan 29th, Filing deadline the 11th.

Looks like a competitive seat, if I read correctly it says Trump carried it, while the Rat Senator (perv, resigned) was elected by about 7 points. We need to win that bastard and make the rats choke on it.
Well, apparently his fellow Senators thought well enough of him to elevate him without thinking he’d cause a problem, and he didn’t.
It would be nice to win that special in MN, though the GOP has been doing a rotten job with winning legislative races. In a State Senate district adjacent to mine, which went for Trump by well over 20%+, they held a special almost 2 weeks ago for Mae Beavers’ vacancy (she’s running for Governor) and her heir apparent, State Rep. Mark Pody won the seat by just 1%(!) over some lady with no money and no visibility (she carried some of the rural counties). No one expected the race to be remotely competitive.
That kind of low turnout with high GOP lethargy and a disproportionate Dem showing is very unsettling. That’s the kind of crap that could turn 2018 into another 2006 (and could also be why President Trump may expedite his entire agenda for this year as a safeguard in case of a worst case scenario for next November).
McGill was apparently in a Black seat, a Black dem succeeded him, no Republican even ran nor has run for the seat since 1992. McGill barely beat a Black guy in his final rat primary in 2012. So the Senate moved to the left on top of it. I can’t tell you what the SC Senate Republicans were thinking other than “I don’t want to be LT Governor”.
TN, yikes, that would have been embarrassing, she had to resign to run?
Under-performing in ultra low turnout specials doesn’t really worry me so much, but rats are clearly motivated to contest every seat.
“Darn it....people like him!”
Dadgummit, I don’t!
I can’t remember after all these decades whether Franken was the main reason I quit watching SNL but he was about as funny as a train wreck as I recall.
“HE Gropped me to.”
Amazing, four words of one syllable each and two misspellings.
