sexual harrassment & assaults of women - doesn't mean the Dems shouldn't call for Trump's resignation. Look at what the Dems did to Franken. How many Senators called for Franken's resignation? 32 or 33
That put pressure on Franken and ultimately got him to resign.
Tim Kaine and all Dems need to put that same pressure on Trump. And even if Trump decides not to resign - it sends a loud and forceful message to the American People as to not tolerate such behavior from the person that holds the highest office in this country.
As far as I'm concerned any Dem in Congress that doesn't call for Trump's resignation is a 'coward'.
What are they waiting for?

(21,646 posts)know more before speaking out for, or against, a person than what info was out there at the time his resignation was called for but I know he was not in that group that brought Franken down so I don't see the equivalency

(68,593 posts)if the GOP calls for his resignation. As for Franken...the Democrats who went on record insisting he resign, stabbed him in the back and forced him to resign. I believe McConnell won't seat any replacement for quite a while if ever.
