In the end Moore will be applauded if he wins the Alabama Senate seat. It will be just like Vitter that he will be warmly welcomed because his accusers were lying Democrats. Meanwhile every effort will be used to get the Democrats to force Franken out of the Senate. The ethics committee will be investigating and hunting for accusers until his next election cycle.
The Democrats need to make it clear that Franken will be punished in some way, but he will NOT be told to leave the Senate as long as Moore is present and Trump is president.

(5,191 posts)Interview LeAnn Tweeden (who doesn't want an investigation), her buddy Sean Hannity, and Roger Stone.
I would ask Stone why he tweeted about Franken going down the day before the story broke?
Do you really want to go their Mitch?

He's had plenty of "punishment " already having to grin and bear those whopper lies.

(10,602 posts)It is all a part of the double standard that the Democrats seem to be lame about. The GOP is being given a free pass on Moore and Trump who are really the very worst. Plus what Franken did though stupid does not come up to the same standards as GOP behavior. To act like you want to do the right thing by punching yourself in the face is politically stupid.
We play into their bullshit all the time instead of digging in. You come off weak and get voted against any way because you are panny waste. When they see you cave they turn around and yell you are weak on crime and defense.

(10,602 posts)Yet the Moore and Trump accusers are being framed as liars, opportunists and Democrats or Democratic supporters.

Moore will not be expelled when he becomes a US Senator. thuglicans WILL rally around the pedio raping, racist. thuglicans passing that for the rich tax bill in the middle of the night, making it up as they went long, tells you that they see Dems as suckers.
Meanwhile ....
DEMS are STILL calling for Franken to leave.

(720 posts)But Graham has been fairly consistent in his criticism of Trump so hopefully he'll be able to convince McConnell to kick out Molester Moore.
