Tens of Thousands of Pics of Franken

[Honeycombe8]

7. What I think it is (and it's just a guess):

The most vocal ones that started the movement to oust Franken have presidential aspirations (or are supporters of those w/presidential aspirations).

Franken is arguably the most popular Senator in the nation right now, in large part because of his questions at the investigation hearings.

Franken is so popular that he has been asked to run for President (he has declined).

Franken gets a lot of tv time, requests for interviews. He's very popular.

Franken was sucking all the attention from wannabe Presidential candidates.

Jealousy followed.

Schumer noted that Franken wouldn't be the next Presidential candidate, and that his favorites weren't getting enough air time.

Now that Franken's out of the way, some of those several w/presidential aspirations are out on tv, basking in the glory (finally) that they deserve. No more Franken to get in the way. Now THEY can be the star. (But a problem with that is that...they haven't done anything particularly noteworthy.)

Problem solved. They think. We'll see if it works out for them.
