(69,508 posts)we have the loss of two democratic people Conyers and Franken.
You can see the division being perpetrated by this POS tRump, saying he does not want a liberal democrat in the Senate and wants a child molester in, he is a sick ass man. Boy, I hope this blows up right in the GOP faces. GOP (grand ole perverts). McConnell and Ryan I hope this flies back in their faces.

(19,655 posts)after all, Moore is entirely innocent until proven guilty...Franken doesn't even get an investigation.

(38,031 posts)I fully expect the people of Alabama (majority white Christian and Republican) to vote Moore into office next week.
I don't want to read a single whining post from anyone calling for Franken's head when they start tearing apart civil liberties and civil rights early next year.
Frankly - we deserve it.

(101,840 posts)Let's see what happens when Leigh Corfman testifies to the Senate Ethics Committee on live television that when she was fourteen years old and Roy Moore was thirty two years old he invited her to his lair in the woods, laid down a blanket for them to lie on, seduced her into stripping to her underwear as he stripped to his , and tried to force her to touch his erect penis.
Or when Beverly Young Nelson testifies to the Senate Ethics Committee on live television that when she was sixteen years old and Roy Moore was 32 years old he lured her into his car with the promise of a ride home on a cold night, drove to a secluded place, locked her in, and pushed her head into his crotch in a attempt to make her fellate him with such force that it left a mark on her neck that was visible the next day.
The 1/3 of Americans who are Deplorables will give him a pass. The other 2/3 won't.

(19,655 posts)be an ethics investigation.
They are in power, so they will quietly bury it knowing that they have a guy there who will vote for whatever they put up, especially if it harms people. Dems will be silent on it, because he isn't one of ours, so there's no reason to work against him.
DemocratSinceBirth
(101,840 posts)All it takes is fifty one senators to call for an investigation. Collins, Flake, McCain, Gardner for starters will vote for one. that's fifty two.

(101,840 posts)2/3 of Americans aren't Deplorables and a lot more than 2/3 aren't as backwards as many Alabamians.

(11,212 posts)Tails off in Minnesota for the next Senatorial candidate from our party.
DemocratSinceBirth
(101,840 posts)Several posters have opined Minnesota is trending red. IMHO, the Democratic wave is stronger than the trend.
Several posters have asked why Chump and Pedo Moore can get away with their crap. You have to look at the individual circumstances. Chump lost the pop vote by 3, 000, 000 votes and his approval ratings are in the min thirties. And Alabama is one of the most backward state in the Union.
We have a 20% lead among women in the generic ballot. Women are paying attention to this stiff.
I believe with every fiber of my being that that the argument that "we aren't pervs, pedos, and creeps like the GOP" is a winner.
