I really really like this idea... FarPoint Oct 2021 #1
Could he do that?? I mean aren't there living in a State restrictions?? Carpetbagger status?? a kennedy Oct 2021 #5
That's the same thing that was said about Hillary Clinton FoxNewsSucks Oct 2021 #10
And Robert Kennedy, and (fill in the blank) The Wizard Oct 2021 #16
Willard Rmoney too FoxNewsSucks Oct 2021 #17
Across Andrew Giuliani's 5 decades of political experience, we've seen this many times Bucky Oct 2021 #49
If he moved to New York in 2021 and runs in 2024 Retrograde Oct 2021 #11

Sounds like typical right wing reporting to stir up the pot. carpetbagger Oct 2021 #6
Shit stirring by Politico. SharonClark Oct 2021 #7
Lol I'll be glad when people stop trying to make this happen. WhiskeyGrinder Oct 2021 #8
the OP misleadingly altered the title, which actually says: Franken rules out run against Gillibrand Celerity Oct 2021 #19
As I say. WhiskeyGrinder Oct 2021 #20
Everyone says they aren't running until they announce Tomconroy Oct 2021 #22
No, you altered the title to give a false impression, and now you are spinning again. EOS Celerity Oct 2021 #25
Now it's you who left something out. Tomconroy Oct 2021 #26
I directly snapshotted the article w/ relevant parts directly from his camp that refute your claims Celerity Oct 2021 #29
again you're giving a false impression by now changing what the article says Celerity Oct 2021 #27
I'm counting the days until Al declares! Tomconroy Oct 2021 #28
hope you can count very high nt Celerity Oct 2021 #30

Dems in Disarray!!! brooklynite Oct 2021 #14
"he has no intention of running for Senate." PoliticAverse Oct 2021 #15
why did you alter (in a very misleading way) the title? Franken rules out run against Gillibrand Celerity Oct 2021 #18
Good point. Looked at the link after your earlier post. PufPuf23 Oct 2021 #21
The I am sure accurate story is that he is making inquiries. Tomconroy Oct 2021 #23
Wonder how Franken would feel about living in Arizona? Totally Tunsie Oct 2021 #24
Wish he would. I think he would mop up the floor with Synema yellowdogintexas Oct 2021 #34
How would Arizona feel about Franken? brooklynite Oct 2021 #36
Well, they managed to elect Sinema. Totally Tunsie Oct 2021 #39
I personally wouldn't want Franken AZProgressive Oct 2021 #42
I like Gallego a lot Dorian Gray Nov 2021 #56
Gillibrand has a 74% approval among NY Democrats... Drunken Irishman Oct 2021 #31
Additionally, what issue would he run on that would differentiate him from Gillibrand? brooklynite Oct 2021 #32
Sincerity and decency would be the obvious differences ? OnDoutside Oct 2021 #41
New Yorkers don't see Gillibrand as insincere and indecent.... brooklynite Oct 2021 #44
That's a surprise. OnDoutside Oct 2021 #51
Why? brooklynite Oct 2021 #52
Only to you. Dorian Gray Nov 2021 #58
Right Dorian Gray Nov 2021 #57
Al should be in the Administration. Certainly not her. LakeArenal Nov 2021 #61
Okay Dorian Gray Nov 2021 #64
I think it's significant that Al declined to say anything when Tomconroy Oct 2021 #33
This is stupid. Trash thread. n/t demmiblue Oct 2021 #35
Al Franken needs to be uncanceled and redeemed. jcmaine72 Oct 2021 #37
So far, though he misses the Senate, Al has not been interested in returning there DFW Oct 2021 #38
Yes it's convenient to blame just Gillibrand... LakeArenal Oct 2021 #46
Al doesn't blame just Gillibrand, of course. DFW Nov 2021 #54

Funny how many of those went and ran for president. LakeArenal Nov 2021 #60
All of whom were not nominated for president, incidentally. DFW Nov 2021 #62
I have said them on here and paid the price. LakeArenal Nov 2021 #65
This thread needs to go as it is written. Inaccurate bull shit. DU is better then this. Tommymac Oct 2021 #40

Al recently moved to NYC. He still has an interest in political Tomconroy Oct 2021 #43

I want him in the Senate, but that wouldn't helpful themaguffin Oct 2021 #47

He might n be a good replacement once Chuck Schumer retires Bucky Oct 2021 #50
Just a guess, but a white male doesn't seem likely to be the next choice. brooklynite Oct 2021 #53
Franken and Schumer are the same age. tritsofme Nov 2021 #55
