Maybe he can go compare notes with Matt Laur.

If they can find a DJT [political] clone, the seat may be winnable when it comes back up. Only if they are running against a Hillary Clinton clone. Don't underestimate Clinton's unpopularity or the state's liberal core. A liberal Democrat like Tina Smith would kill a Trump clone.
To: null and void
I thought he wasnt actually going to do it.
Me too. Dems always find a way to wiggle out of responsibility.

I think both Senate seats will now be in contention in November. If republicans can resist the temptation to self destruct, they should be able to pick up one. Not a chance. The Minnesota Republicans haven't been able to find a name challenger to Klobuchar. Who are they going to get to run for Franken's seat against Smith?
To: tet68
"preferably from orbit." It's the only way to be sure.

I presume he will begin collecting his outrageous pension soon.
To: null and void
He wasn’t going to, if Roy Moore was elected.
That’s why he delayed until now.

Some have mentioned Michelle Bachmann. Many on another thread on this subject didn’t want her to run for Senate, however.
I hate to lose an election just by default, which is what will happen if no prominent Republican steps forward.
To: simpson96
Maybe he’ll go back to Saturday Night Live where he will fit right in, both politically and with an utter lack of comedic talent.

I hope folks remember to use all-caps, when reminding folks what his general worth has been.

Some have mentioned Michelle Bachmann. Bachmann may have won a congressional district but that doesn't automatically translate into a statewide race. I don't think she would do very well for the Senate.

Franken resigns...Whoops...Ya'll got it wrong. But that's OK.☺

Might have been different if Moore had won.
There is a battle to prove which party is better towards women. Up until very recently, the Democrat party had this locked in very tightly. Doesn't make a difference that the Democrats are a lying bunch of SOBs.
Anyway, if Franken had not resigned, it would have hurt the Democrat party image.

The Senate is bad. But it was REALLY bad with that four eyed, fish lipped, Island of Dr. Moreau lookin' clown in it.
He was an embarrassment to this country.
Good riddance.
