If the republicans elect their 'Bama pedophile and welcome him into the Darkside KGOP frat house, then Franken should stay in the Senate and change his voter registration to R. He could continue to advocate progressive policies and vote with the Dems, but wear the culturally, sexually and gropingly appropriate label of "republican." As everyone knows, IOKIYAR.
So what if the KGOP propaganda pumps label him as a "fake" conservative? Big deal. Basically all so-called "conservatives" are fake anyway. Otherwise they'd not be systematically, destroying the earth, etc., and submissively, sheepishly following the eminently deceitful Comrade Casino, ignoble republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief & his Assorted Misbegotten Cronies. That ain't conservative. That's radical treason against life on earth, and American democracy. It's deplorable.
