Not with out an investigation.

Having said that the number of Dems who are calling for his resignation gives me pause. I hate to think that Warren / Sanders would call for his resignation based solely on the allegations in order to be perceived as the “we go high when they go low” BS. If this is the case than the Democratic Party is more spineless now than it has ever been and at the worst possible time. I want to believe that they would call for his resignation because there is more to this than we know and IF Franken does resign tomorrow it is save the embarrassment of an investigation. Either way this completely and totally sucks and is a total gut punch. Republicans have a president who is on tape saying the things he said as well as a potential traitor...and a pedophile who is most likely going to win a senate seat from Alabama...and the Dems are being forced to resign. It is surreal.
