16. An honest question, why do you hate Franken so badly?

Every, and I mean every, post that contains Franken's name, there you are to denigrate him. I can understand your apparent undying love for Gillbrand, but why the hate of Franken?

You posted multiple times on this OP and Gillibrand's name doesn't show up except after you posted.

I don't know. I do know it has humiliated Dems who railroaded him out of the Senate. MoonRiver Nov 2018 #19

No Trumpocalypse Nov 2018 #21

He had virtually no choice. Gillibrand made sure of that. MoonRiver Nov 2018 #24

How? Trumpocalypse Nov 2018 #26

"She will have to answer for her actions in the primary" brooklynite Nov 2018 #37

I'm sure she hopes that's the case. MoonRiver Nov 2018 #40

Perhaps she is, but that's not the continual claim as to why she'll lose... brooklynite Nov 2018 #42

It's one reason I think she'll lose. May be the most significant one too. MoonRiver Nov 2018 #43

Yet she won re-election with over 66% of the vote Trumpocalypse Nov 2018 #51

I would hazzard to guess most Dems don't know that Franken was a Senator from Minnesota. Kaleva Nov 2018 #44

It was a coordinated response and they choose her to go first. tammywammy Nov 2018 #52
