If your position is that calling on Franken to resign was an unforgiveable sin (nb: I don't), then he was either 1) culpable, 2) duped, or 3) cowardly, none of which suggest Presidential timber. As for "showing leadership" on your other issues, I'm not aware of any. Perhaps you could enlighten us? Speeches and Bills that never pass aren't really a sterling set of accomplishments.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
