Stephanie Ruhle: Why dumping Al Franken opens door for Trumps impeachment (VIDEO)

Stephanie Ruhle used Laura Ingraham to make the case that Al Franken may be the Democrats sacrificial lamb. I think they make a compelling case. Her reaction to using Right Wing Laura Ingraham to make her case was hilarious.

Republicans don't care and they are likely laughing at our "moral high ground" right now. Franken's resignation won't hurt the GOP at all.

As are all the people who think that Trump and Moore will now have to resign because that’s what Franken did.

Trump won't get impeached over groping in a previous life.

If Trump is impeached, it will be because of Russia.
