At least 3 weeks ago McConnell, Graham, tRump and other GOP Congress members came out immediately wanting Moore to drop out...made TV appearances etc.....I felt that was very much out of character....very so and it was too early and too fast...it was too easy for them, they were comfortable.....I felt something was up/ peculiar...I asked here and myself, " What are they up to now?".
Well.... today the GOP adores Moore, tRump McConnell and Company are standing side by side, diminishing, ignoring his harassment claims and accepting Moore like a brother...
Yet, Franken, Conyers... swatted out of Congress for much less and very much without any due process of a Democracy.
This was, in my opinion and sense, a huge, successful campaign to shake up Democrats unity, leadership and distraction from tRump crime Family Investigation progress.
We have been through a huge scam.
My sense and feeling... All too coincidentally falling in place...
Okay... I'm done.

I have no doubt, for instance, that if MN had a Republican governor, there would have been precisely zero call from Democrats for his resignation.
