I know how you feel.

I told everyone I knew that Trump was a bad candidate.

I voted for Cruz to stop him. Little did I know, there is no stopping what can not be stopped. Only GOD can stop what can not be stopped.

You may be right.

Cruz was not up to the fight during the primary ... and wouldn't have been up for the even tougher prolonged fight which ensued immediately following Hillary's rejection.

Hillary bought the DNC and Trump was the Pied Piper candidate designed to win in the primaries and lose in the general.
Except someone in Hillary Media Control blew it and Trump won. Or was it in Media Hillary Control? Or Hillary FBI Control? To strange a nut to crack. We'll never know. It was a strange election. Poor Bernie. Politically he was way too far left, but he seemed a decent person, and he really got shafted.

We really should have had a presidential debate between Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders.

Well the GOP wanted Alabama to decide. MN has a recall option. If they want to get rid of him, they can.

I never thought Hillary was a safe bet either, but the GOP also knew she was going to run and so they started a campaign against her while she was still SoS.

I really wish at this time that the Church would draw back a bit from the political fray and do a little internal soul searching. There is a serious problem when we are choosing candidates that are the opposite of every fruit of the spirit we are supposed to use as a guide. There is a serious problem when someone says "If Jesus Christ got off the cross and said Trump colluded, I'd ask Trump to confirm." Or that they'd rather have a child molester than a democrat in office.

I'm not sure we have any recall option until the 2020 election. He will be recalled then. But wait. He is a 'progressive' so he will probably be re-elected anyway. Or recount votes until he wins, like the first time he was 'elected'. In an Obama landslide in Minnesota he lost by about 46 votes and they brought in the high priced Washington lawyers to recount until he won. A comic election that one was.

The odd thing is he is pretty much a lame duck at the moment. Lots of people in Minnesota would laugh before he even tried to tell a joke. Nobody seems to want him as a co-sponsor on any bills anymore. And the woman chosen to replace him has progressive creds out the wazoo. Not that I approve of who the governor chose to replace him.

So the guy that was given permission to kiss this gal, by the gal, got a little carried away, and is now considering reinstatement for a resignation that should never have been necessary to begin with?

Why is that a problem? Did I miss something there?

I think there were a few more accusers. I don't know all the details though.

There almost has to be, and hoping someone can enlighten us on that and whether or not any other accusers accusations where pretty much as invalid as the one I refer too.

Kissing was the least of it.

Groping was the main accusation.

There were several accusers. And there is that picture, for which any alternate explanations just don't make sense. He was caught dead to rights. His apologies were lame, in a sort of blame the victim kind of way. He will do the right thing, belatedly, if he does indeed resign.

For the first one, even if Roger Stone wasn't tipping his hand that he was involved, after I saw the video of the performance, I knew the accusations were trash. Right after kissing Al, she turned around and kissed a service man, and didn't ask his permission. She didn't seem distressed to me AT ALL.

Here are all the misconduct accusations against Al Franken, who is resigning from the Senate

Below is not addressed to you, camille.

Not good. Being an entertainer doesn't give anyone 'permission' anymore than being a wealthy, prominent businessman does or the owner of beauty pageants does.

As sad as it is that Franken goes under this circumstances he should. He maybe innocent or guilty, but he should focus on clearing his name and show a respect for the office by ensuring someone else can take the reigns. This is really despicable and shameful behaviour by the Democrats and shows how cheap their word and loyalty is. They can't be trusted even by their own side.

They plan on continuing that for at least another year, guess they think that will help them in the midterms...
Witch hunts are a phenomenon of mass hysteria. As such, they go on until the hysteria passes.
