Good call.
She certainly had no realistic chance. I guess there was some point early on where she mighta been able to catch fire and climb up. That point came and went.
Eventually, reality has a way of making itself known.
I voted for her to be a senator. Do your job!
Bye, Bye, and don’t let the door hit you on the way out…
Now if Steyer and Gabbard would just go away, we will be down to some serious candidates and then Andrew Yang.
And P.s. Bob Bullock, please reconsider and run against Steve Daines (R-MT who does nothing except rubber stamp for Trump)
And then there were ten.
I guess this puts us, now, in a position to only have one Dem debate in a few weeks, no?
Good. I feel pretty sure I’m sharing a laugh with Franken right now.
And when the Chief Muscovite refuses to bring anything to the Senate floor for a vote other than Federalist-sanctioned judges, what would you have her do?
About time. Now apologize to Al Franken for getting everyone around him to pressure him to quit the Senate and giving him clinical depression over flimsy allegations of sexual harassment originating from a right wing radio host with ties to Roger Stone. None of the allegations even sound like sexual harassment once they’re put under scrutiny.
Ironically, I have a sneaking suspicion if Franken were to run again he’d have an actual shot at winning. Would be fun to see.
I wonder how much a factor the Franken thing was.
Came to say the same.
Al Franken and I think you made the right decision, you bloody carpetbagger.
I suspect it was a major factor. What she did in leading the charge was deemed heinous by many. Maybe not a majority, but enough.
Buh-bye.
My crystal ball is not in the shape it was before 2016, but I predict that the apology requested, or something even vaguely approaching it, isn’t going to happen.
Make an argument.
Naked ambition and a history of obvious insincerity are a bad combination in a presidential candidate.
Perhaps for a Democrat.
Not just the Franken Factor. She blows with the wind.
For example, she was against gun control in her red district before she changed her mind in her blue district (NY state), among others.
