[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Franken. I still believe he can mount a comeback and is the only person witty enough to take on Trump at his own game.

He's atoned for his sins. Let the people vote.[/quote]

I am a democrat that would vote for a monkey over trump but would be appalled if the D's nominated Franken. Almost appalled enough to say eff them all as a woman. [/quote]

I understand that and I think it would be a mistake to nominate him.

I also think he got railroaded.  The woman who accused him conveniently went on to be paid by conservative media.  I am not convinced it happened as she claims.  I mean, based on the evidence presented, he had to resign, but it is all very suspect.[/quote]

OK, I'm going to be honest that I had actually forgotten that the other allegations happened.  I was going through a personal crisis at that point and hadn't tracked this as closely as some others.

I just read the Time article about the accusations.  several of his accusers were unnamed.  I still am not sure even those named rose to the level of him losing his seat.  If the allegations are true, yes, he's skeevy.  I just still feel like some of this was overblown.

He did the right thing resigning as quickly as he did.  He just never had a chance to try to disprove anything.[/quote]

I lean moderate conservative and agree with you.  I think in both his case and Garrison Keillor, they were found guilty of what amounts to very, very little.  It's a real shame that once someone is accused, that's it.  There's no room for their side of the story to be told.

Of course, I'm not talking about someone like Harvey Weinstein.  But Tom Brokaw would be another one who I think was unfairly swept up in the #MeToo campaign.[/quote]
