SHAME: Racist Dems Protect Franken, While Demanding Conyers Resign - Kronke - 11-30-2017 02:17 PM
Why the double standard? This is BLATANT RACISM!
Will resident liberals disavow, by calling their representatives and DEMANDING that Al Franken by held to the same standard as Congressmen of color?

They know that whomever replaces the old creepy geezer will also be black and will keep that seat around Detroit for ever because the sheeple will go along to get along. They know if Mr. Not So Funny Guy steps down in disgrace, that senate seat is up for grabs in 2020.

Franken would be replaced with a dem as well (dem governor), and it's an overwhelmingly blue state, so there is zero risk. The only explanation is that Franken and Congressmen of color are held to different standards by democratic leadership. Sad!

I'd say its more a factor of their age if anything. But if you want to cry racism, knock yourself out.

Again, the Democrats show remarkable political stupidity.
Dump Franken, appoint Ellison. Ride FIRST MUSLIM SENATOR and he's AFRICAN AMERICAN!!@4!111 all the way to the Bank of Social Justice.

Frankin has admitted to what he did but I don't know about the other guy. Has he admitted wrongdoing?

Can't do it, franken is too much of a folk hero. The left has lost all moral high ground on this issue.
President Trump (and I have agreed) has said that if Roy Moore's allegations are proven, we disavow and he should go. Compare that with photographic evidence on franken, and the left still stands by him while calling for a Congressman of color to step down.

So, it's all about who is useful to you, politically? Conyers is old enough that he can go, but franken still has some good years left, so he can stay?
So in other words, you couldn't care less about the women who are the real victims here? Wow. What an admission!

Maybe they know what Conyers did and it's much worse than Franken's boob grabs?? Who knows?
Course, if that's true - it means they knew about the Conyers stuff and stayed silent all these years......

I said that's what they are thinking dummy. Personally, I'd shoot them both but you didn't ask.

dunno. MN wasn't as far as people may think in 2016. it was 30K votes, and a percentage point. trump nearly flipped that one, too.

I was going to say MN was really close last time. Trump winning the 1 state Reagan lost would have really been fun.
The spolier candidate from Utah got 53K votes in MN while Trump lost to Clinton by 44K. He had a real shot

Jill Stein also was a thorn in the side of Hillary clinton. Jill got a lot of votes from Democrats and Independents who did not like both candidates. A lot of votes for the Independents this last election shows there are many people who are dissatisfied with both parties. Yeah, people did not like neither Trump and Clinton. If you add all the third party votes up as one? You can see how many people are upset with both Democrats and Republicans and it is growing every year as people moving into the Independent party from both parties.
RE: SHAME: Racist Dems Protect Franken, While Demanding Conyers Resign - rath v2.0 - 11-30-2017 05:41 PM
It was @ 220,000 votes for the 7 independents on the ballot combined to @2.7 million for the 2 main parties.

Sigh....ill play
In MN, Clinton beat Trump by about 44k votes
GOP spoiler from Utah got about 53k
Stein and the Greens got about 37k
So that's a net loss of about 16k for Trump
Now Gary Johnson got about 113k votes
I think its safe to assume that In a pure 2 party race Trump would won over 30k of those voters, less than 30%. Clinton would have had to win over 70% of Johnson voters.
I think it's very reasonable to conclude without 3rd Parties, Trump would have won MN

Calling someone a dummy? How brave of you!!
Hey have you gone to Hillsborough yet? I heard a rumour that 81 people died there 20 years ago. So you know it takes a real bada$$ to set foot in there.

Wait a minute, Minnesota would have a special election just like Alabama right? Or does those rules only apply to republican states?

It's nationally blue but not locally... Remember Franken won the first time by an insanely small margin. That Deomcratic Govornor won his first term in the same way.
RE: SHAME: Racist Dems Protect Franken, While Demanding Conyers Resign - rath v2.0 - 11-30-2017 06:50 PM
If Franken steps down the governor appoints a replacement and then there is a special election in November 2018. Would likely be won bybthe party that wins the open governor's seat in that same election.
