And the voters will only see that the Dems had to resign while the Repugs

stayed in office,

Letting them think that the Dems were guilty of what they were accused of and that the stories about the Republisums
probably weren't true.

If the Dems think this will make them look good to the voters while the Repugs seat a child molester and are lead bu a predator,
they are woefully miscalculating.

They might be blowing 2018 and 2020 with this shit.


On Edit:
I forgot to add how much the MSM will help push this very narrative.

and I will listen. But I suspect it's about playing politics and angling for Potus nom by many of them.

They think they're on the right side of a popular issue and will win the female vote.

Not this female.

I am not that impressed with any of the people calling for his resignation.

Not nearly the talent Franken has

They are playing the situation and getting it totally wrong.

Being fair means a lot more to me than scoring imaginary points.

I am so disappointed.

This reminds me when ACORN got defunded on the basis of Project Veritas' fake video. All the Congressional Dems voted against ACORN without any kind of investigation, even my Senator Ron Wyden. I was crushed.

By the time the truth came out, it was too late for ACORN. I'm sick of them jumping to conclusions and then acting on false assumptions! Just all the time rolling over !!

party don't seem to get the street view of what's going on, as dem votes are lost. People will remember the dems were removed, they will forget about the Grand Old Predators.
