Lets pretend

That the Franken resignation was part of a grander strategy. What role could he play effectively after he leaves office?

How about chairman of the DNC? Can you imagine a fierecer bulldog than him?

1. Won't happen

the "grand plan" was to get someone who won't make waves into his seat.

2. I'm really trying find a positive explanation.

Maybe Santa will bring the answer.

3. Remember, he writes very well.

5. I'm hopeful. I've tried very hard in 2017 to get on the "nice" list.

Apparently I was on the "naughty" list in 2016. I got a lump of Trump in my stocking.

4. Why cant he run for the U.S. Senate in another state?

Unless there’s some “double-secret probation” that prevents him from doing so.

In California, for example, he could run against one of his back-stabbers, Senator Diane Feinstein. He’d likely bury her at the polls (Feinstein’s been around forever, and is now viewed in California as a centrist).

Of course, Al’s too nice a guy to actually do it. Just daydreaming.

6. The DNC has an entreched ties to monied interests. 1 in 10 super delegates are registered lobbiests

If you dont include the super d's that are elected officials, i in 7 are lobbiests. I doubt Al would be a good fit.

7. If Moore gets elected

I think he ought to explore rerunning for his seat. Let the people of Minnesota decide. I'd probably do some polling first to see if I had a serious chance, but if so, spend the next couple of years slowly addressing all of the complaints, and then run.

8. Frankly, I would like to see him run for president. If the racist, sexist, admitted assaulter

...with now over 16 women accusing him of inappropriate sexual behavior ...and he basically being a vile, vulgar man--a perpetual liar and an alleged treasonous traitor can claim to be president....then, sh it-- Franken has a hell of a chance. And, Franken IS the good guy, I'd take him over the guy now occupying the white house in a nano second.

After Harris, Gillibrand (and other dems) ran Franken over wth a steamroller without tthe benefit of an ethics investigation or due process, they're off my list of would be potential candidates in 2020.

Ps. What happen to innocent until proven guilty, and why does guy in the white house get a pass?
