As you know I am passionately against Al Franken resigning

However, if or when it happens and Roy Moore wins on Tuesday, are the Democrats collectively going to raise hell and call on Moore to resign?

If not, what is the point of All's resignation? I hope Kristen Gillenbrand hears this!

they will smile and clap when he is seated and shake his hand and congratulate him at the little reception afterward.

They can't do anything, really. They can raise hell all they like, but they don't have the votes.

but Moore denied everything so he’s good to go. Gillibrand should take her own advice.

Democrats will call for an ethics investigation. They will be ignored. Republicans will have a good joke to laugh about.

I hope she sleeps well at night.

So I don't expect any outrage if Moore wins. They will say the people of AL have spoken, who cares what the people of MN want.
