The Franken deal is a lose lose situation.

[Eko]

If we keep him, we stand to lose some votes and give the GOP another boogie man, if we let him go we lose a great Senator. And yeah, it aint fair, politics and life isn't.

1. Franken already is a "boogie man" to Republicans. People are going to vote GOP

because of Franken when Pussy grabber is the head of the GOP? That's crazy!

[Eko]

7. Not to republicans,

any Democratic politician is a boogyman to republicans, to the average American. Or not vote because the "parties are the same" bull.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. Right

And, lest we forget, Democrats (ANY Democrat) is automatically WORSE than Roy "chasing teenage girls and getting thrown off the judicial bench TWICE" Moore to the modern GOP, especially the folks in Alabama.

9. losing some votes? you mean like spineless fascist enabling idiots? Whoop de doo, big loss.

No fucking way. He needs to stand strong and NOT RESIGN

10. The Dem leadership has handled this very badly, and they need to start explaining

what they are doing and why.

14. We just gave Alabama to Roy Moore.

This will only further drive the MAGATs to the polls, and they will once again rub our faces in it.

[Irish_Dem]

16. Alabama already had Roy Moore. And we can't stop the deplorables from being deplorable.

All we can do is the right thing.

[Awsi Dooger]

12. It sucks

Franken is a very good man and excellent senator but he left enough out there to be amplified in a climate like this.

Ever since this story broke his resignation seemed inevitable so I haven't paid attention to specifics. I believe in big picture logic. That only meant snowball.

I hope Franken figures out how to rehabilitate his image and be productive toward our cause going forward.

13. This is a trap. It's a fucking setup.

And we're falling for it.
