    Franken admitted guilt then calls for a Senate investigation on himself. I’m assuming it’s to see if his guilty admission is truthful?

    You just can’t make this shit up.

    To take responsibility. Get the facts, censure if substantiated (which they will be), and move on.

    The benefit to the GOP is this de-fangs Franken for the next few years and opens him up to primary challenge and may render his seat competitive again. Minnesota is still purplish-blue, so it isn't out of the realm of possibility that he could be beaten there.

    I'd say that's pretty substantial, especially when you consider that some people were talking about him running for Prez in 2020. That's most likely not gonna happen now.

    This was not a disqualifying offense for the Republican candidate in 2016.

    Franken’s out. He’s fucking done. The only thing left is the Donner Party feast. Libs are gonna eat their own on this one.

    He confessed. She forgave. I don't think he gets burned at the stake at the auto-da-fe. They just whip him some.

    I could be wrong, but the Dems haven't had a good circular firing squad in a while.

    Circular firing squads seem to be a thing, again everywhere.

    I can think of a couple other reasons why that would never have happened.

    Valarie Jarrett has entered the fray which means Obama has spoken. He’s out. The great #SEXPURGE2017 is underway to clear the decks for a brand new demOcrat party.
