Bunch of BS if you ask me. Sad that allegations are enough for a person to lose their job and reputation.

Not just allegations in the case of Franken. He's admitted to the principal allegations (or conceded that the woman's recollection would be more reliable than his). However, I agree with your observation that mere allegations should not be enough.

They just overturned the people's choice without due process. Nice.

No, he didn't admit to anything other then taking a photo posing as if he were groping.

On the flip side, now you've got the party of child molesters and pussy grabbers running against the party that's against sexual predators.

He did point out the irony, that the loudest calls for his resignation were from the party with a bragging pussy-grabber in the Oval office and running an accused pedophile as its officially anointed Senate candidate.

His victims are truly P.O.'d over his statement on the Senate Floor which was 'who me, actually having done what is alleged, even when there are photographs of me doing it - how can that be true.'

You are correct, but I don't see it as a winning strategy for the Dems.

I don't think they will gain a single vote based on their stance on this issue.

Just look at 1 year ago. Trump was a pig (I know that's an insult to all the 4 legged variety of pigs out there, but I'm speaking metaphorically here) 1 year ago. Everyone knew it. But to his followers, they didn't care. They still voted for him. They will continue to vote for him.

I don't see the DEMS gaining votes based on the "moral highground". People are sick of the moral highground.

The DEMS have become the party that worry more about bathrooms and gender issues and sexual harassment and equity and trigger words and all the other cry-baby bullshit that really only matters to a tiny minority of people. In the mean time, the vast majority of Americans in those 4 or 5 states that swing an election (Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania) worry about jobs and financial security for them and their families.

To quote Bill Clinton advisor James Carville in 1992, "it's the economy stupid". It's the truth.

Tossing Franken under the bus gained the DEMS soundbites on Bill Maher's show, but that's about it.

The notion of Democrats taking the moral high ground is beyond laughable.

Interesting view.

Franken is of course replaceable. There will be another up and coming Dem senator from somewhere in a few months. It lets the Dems snarl and snicker about Moore and Trump and anyone else and claim the moral high ground. It remains to be seen if there are votes in that.

The economy was the issue in a handful of states in 2016 - mainly the Great Lakes rust belt, which Trump won narrowly. He won because he was a novelty and promised big. He has done nothing to follow through on those promises. He hasn't even toured IN or MI to ask how people are doing, since being elected. I am guessing a vote fall off for the GOP in those states in 2020 based on the "we wuz lied to" blowback.

If it's not "the economy, Stupid!", then it's going to be whatever gets people out vs makes people not give a shit and stay home. So maybe the moral high ground will come in handy after all. And ditching Al lets the Dems pose as the moral party and portray the GOP as the pervert party.

I agree, all Trump or his supporters need to do if find a or two woman willing to cry rape and the next election is over because Democrats have boxed them into a corner with #Metoo and #believewomen.

Goddamn it, I don't want a second term of Trump, why do the feminists have to self destruct in a way that takes the left with them.
