I'm beginning to believe that we may have to go to Washington if Trump is to complete his elected term.

It may not be to early to figure out how you may participate in a 'save Trump' movement that could get violent.

Alabamians will not allow Washington politicans to unseat their elected senator....either.

Clearly, oust Franken (who will be replaced by another Democrat) to force Moore to either drop out or resign after winning election, to be replaced by a Democrat and come closer to retaking the Senate, was the plan all along.

Franken was just a pawn sacrificed in order to make a play for the opposing King.

They’re counting on the public forgetting the dems are the ones who pushed the “none of our business” scenario, with the Cajun slamming all the accusers as tramps who wanted it?

Let’s start playing all that footage for starters!!

I am confused. Did Franken actually quit? Can he change his mind and unresign “in the coming weeks”?

It was clear that initially leading Democrats had absolutely no interest in forcing Conyers or Franken out, especially with Franken's Senate seat not being a guaranteed one for Democrats.

They did an about face when it occurred to them that they'd look beyond ridiculous attacking Moore and Trump for alleged sexual harassment if they defended the same in their people. So as part of the broader strategy, Franken and Conyers had to go under the bus. Their gamble won't pay off.

"Al Franken ... resigned from the U.S. Senate..."

When exactly did he resign? Franken has not resigned, and may not do so.

The d’rats are so obvious in their strategy with Franken ... it will not work because BJ Clinton did not resign and there was evidence. President Clinton set the precedent!!

This, Al Franken, will be your lasting legacy: you are the comedian who became a joke.

If you fail to resign “in a few weeks”, you will be a joke that fell flat.

All of these libs getting caught playing around is not being done to get them. It is being done to cover something else in the media that they are more afraid of.

Oh, Franken didn’t say he is through. He said he would be resigning in the next few months. He can retract his quitting statement any time he wants. And I’ll bet he does if Moore wins so he can say character has nothing to do with it. Heard that one before?

Franken hasn’t left. He only said he is going to leave. Watch and learn how a lying liar lies.

First off it had no chance of success because their analogy did not work; but more importantly Nelson has just stuck a pin in that stupid balloon. End of story.

I think this is a McConnell-endorsed scheme.

Why wait for "the coming weeks" for Franken to take his time about resigning? CNN is reporting that 32 Democrat Senators are calling for Al Franken to resign, so Franken's expulsion is a sure thing.

McConnell can force the expulsion vote on Franken now; he doesn't have to wait for the outcome of the Alabama election. But McConnell won't do it now. He will wait until it best fits HIS needs, instead of controlling the media news cycle for Republicans by doing it today.

And McConnell's need is to have leverage to force Moore out after he wins in Alabama. Therefore, McConnell will wait until then for Franken to resign, so he can demand a "bipartisan" purge in the Senate. If Franken goes now, the pressure is reduced on Moore after he wins next week. If McConnell ties Moore's expulsion vote to Franken's vote and schedules them for the same day, that will put enormous pressure on the other Republican Senators to vote for Moore's ouster after Franken's.

Franken alone won’t get it done. The Dems need to get rid of at least a dozen of their groping Senators to put the proper amount of pressure on the President. Heck, maybe 20.
