Some say Republicans stick together. Why cant democrats.

Well now aint the time to bail on democrats.

So buck it up. This franken thing was a tough nut to swallow. But I don’t think he would want us stop voting for democrats.

So can we stop bashing them and hang tight?

There are plenty of examples of ReThugs not sticking together. Trump couldn't get his health care bill passed. Why? You know.
Susan Collins ring a bell? Lisa Murkowski? John McCain?

How about Sen. Bob Corker?

How about Sen. Jeff Flake?

How about Mitt Romney?

All I could think was that Franken was the mine and was stomped on deliberately by his own people. About 1/4 of Repugs and 2/3 of independents -- who rightfully should be Democrats -- gasped at the sight. Somehow this is supposed to compel a high minded response from the right. Good luck with that.

Look here -- I'm falling on my sword. I'll go first -- you next.

Stupid.
