Franken isn’t officially ‘OUT’ yet. I’m guessing if Moore is elected to the Senate, Franken will decide to stay in. I also suspect he’s probably a bit resentful at being thrown under the bus by the Dems for purely political reasons (to use against Trump) and I can see him doing a reversal.
This is a head fake.
Franken said in his speech there is so much more that needs to be done.
This is all about framing the picture which has always been Trump being forced out of office by the conviction of the public opinion court tsunami.
I hope does. I hope the democrats play that joker. Mark my words it will be a joker.
I agree. Franken won't leave until after the new session is seated. He'll have a sudden attack of selective outrage and withdraw his resignation. Anyone else on the slow-boat out will also reconsider.
Franken is in a tough spot. If Moore is elected, our valiant and courageous Republican senators have promised that the first order of business will be an ethics investigation. Franken can't be a part of that.
I agree with you 100%. Franken is, after all, an “actor”. He’s acting like (1) he’s sorry he offended women and (2) that he will leave the Senate.
This is some big theatrical act. The Dems are either thinking this is a last-ditch attempt to keep people from voting for Moore, or, if Moore is elected, will “deal” as to creating problems for Moore, with this threat of Franken to resign.
They think they have us over a barrel. This has NOTHING to do with Franken actually resigning, or with him regretting any of his indiscretions (to which he felt entitled).
JMHO
