Al Franken is STILL my choice for 2020.

[jaysunb]

And I will continue to feel that way until HE says he doesn't want to do it.

1. It would be nice if he had a party that supported him instead of stabbing him in the

back.

[jaysunb]

3. The PEOPLE are the party. n/t

[scarletwoman]

13. Amen to that! nt

[Alice11111]

2. He was mine, but he's like Ted Kennedy now, he could never

be elected. I hope to god that I am wrong, and all things clear up, but I think even his potential competitors are out to get him.

[rzemanfl]

5. Could be Hannity's and Stone's lines were tapped. This stinks so bad. n/t

[Alice11111]

9. It is such an obvious railroading from both sides.

[ghostsinthemachine]

4. Mine too, BUT

Tomorrow will tell. Does he want it enough to face this kind of thing daily? Can he backtrack his previous admission, without looking like a douche?

[rzemanfl]

6. Don't say douche here. In fact, it is best not to say anything. n/t

[Alice11111]

7. I want him to fight, but they have the 2/3 to expel him.

More Repubs are saying wait until after the investigation (probably to be consistent on their position with potential incoming Moore) than Dems. As far as I can tell, Rob Portman is calling to slow down and let the investigation play out. Kobacher was sort of supportive, but neutral.

It is so wrong. Exchange pedophile Moore for past comedian Franken (he was in a gig that made jokes), but he is an honest, respectful guy.

8. Since when is Rob Portman a Democrat?

He is a Republican.

[Alice11111]

10. Misstatement. Thx for calling it to my attention.

Kloblacher didn't join the mob, but said he will do the right thing.

[LisaL]

11. So a Republican is actually saying he is willing to wait for an investigation, while a bunch of

Democrats are demanding resignation?
Truth is stranger than fiction.

[Alice11111]

12. I suspect the motive may be they want to be consistent

In their position if Moore is incoming, though McTurtle says they will challenge him. Of course, he will ultimately suck up to whatever Trump wants, IMO.

[flamingdem]

14. Me too. I wish he'd turn it around, he has my vote and I'm sure many others

would support him.

He's got the talent, we should no lose him!

[tenderfoot]

15. He doesn't want to run for President

and has said so before any "abuse" allegations were mentioned.
