If anyone thinks Franken resigning will change a single voters mind

If anyone thinks Franken resigning will change a single voters mind you are deluded

The Republican voters are going to ignore or forgive any trans gression by their candidate

There is no moral high ground when it comes to the Republicans

[Horizens]

1. You

are absolutely 100% correct.

[treestar]

2. I agree. After it blew over

by Nov. 2018 no one would remember it.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

3. Do people think his resignation was about changing Republican voters' minds?

[NCTraveler]

4. Spot on tho for different reasons.

Outside of possible societal and personal implications, this will change almost nothing. Period.

5. Many voters reward strength.

That’s one reason why some vote for the gop even though it’s usually against their own interests. There was no strength today from the senate dems who railroaded Franken.

13. yes!

as I said below - my sister has switched to being a Dem after many years of being a repub. She talks about the Dems being weak and not fighting back. That is a biggie for R's switching.

6. trust me

they are a cult...

reality is foreign to them. My brother was arguing with an old friend who insisted trump won the popular vote, he showed him online, wiki, cnn, and then FOX and he still insisted it was wrong. fake news.

we are fucked.

7. Local right wing talking heads

Local right wing talking heads
Are already dismissing it saying that I'll Franken is gross he admitted it and that there's no evidence against any Republican

And that it's just a political trick to try to gain leverage over Roy Moore

[MoonRiver]

8. But it's going to make Democrats in Minnesota furious.

Well done, idiots.

[lunamagica]

9. Yes. Come election time people will only remember that the Democrats

had member who were so perverted they had to get rid of them

[marble falls]

11. Welcome to DU. I will support Al Franken as long as any run he makes is as a Democrat....

as a third party candidate he would only hand this seat to a Republican.

[KT2000]

12. yes it will

I am thinking of my sister who was an R for years. She has come to identify as a Democrat but always mentions that the Dems in Congress are spineless. I suspect this will keep her home as it may others.

14. it changes my mind on potential Democratic leaders.

Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillenbrand, Chuck Schumer. Write ME for donations, you %&^$@!s
