Give me a break. Franken resigning and thus the media/Dems will attack Trump means things are worse than if Hillary won? The Dims/media have NEVER stopped attacking Trump, never will stop and nothing is worse than if Hillary would have won.

Dude all that taxes I'd owe? no way I'd want that.

Not exactly.
What he did was announce his intention to resign at some point in the future.


Yep he said that maybe perhaps sometime in the future when I'm ready I'll probably maybe resign, oh and Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump.....


Several news agencies have noted that Franken called out Trump and Moore as being accused as well but no action being taken. I'm sorry but the argument "THEY DID IT TOO..." has never worked, ever. Not in elementary school, not in High school, not in court. It just makes you look like a bigger douche.

Of course that demoRAT POS uses the stinking announcement to take parting shots at President Trump.

Just saw ol' bernie Sanders came out and said Trump should take a page from the everyone else and resign for his video leaked stuff.

I wish Trump would announce some kind of fake resignation and then just when they're done celebrating drop a big, "just kidding"

Interesting, flipping channels I happened upon CNN for a moment and one of the gals on there was speculating on that possibility.

Franken did not resign today.
Why not?

This thread title should be:
Franken stated his intention to resign, but has yet to follow through and do so.

Serious question: Is there any credible evidence (like Franken's photo) that Trump actually DID anything other than throw out a line of locker room BS? It certainly wouldn't be out of character for him to brag in front of the boys and embellish the story.


I think the attack will come, and like the other daily assaults it will fail. But they will probably trot out new women who make claims.

They have no idea who Trump is, what he represents, or why his base is absolutely loyal. But they will make a lot of noise for a while, the corrupt bastards.

I think Franken will actually resign, although he left some wiggle room. This announcement paints him into too much of a corner.

Some of you watch too much "House of Cards."

It paints him into a corner, but it buys him time and may buy him a bit of leverage. We don't have a date certain, and he may be hoping to trade his fellow Dems a date certain for something else. As I said earlier, though, I think he's looking for a way to use Moore's election as a way to play through the rough. I don't know that such a way exists, but if he stays in then he at least positions himself to take advantage of any opening that may pop up.

That was his staff's response to a Wednesday MPR report. I don't think there have been any denials since today's speech.

One of the talking heads on TV pointed out today that that was Trump the Democrat on that tape. I'm not sure of Trump's political affiliation timelines but, if true, yes, it was most likely a line of BS.

This thread title is fake news.
Franken did not resign.

I think Dana Perino of FOX hit the nail on the head.
Franken is leaving the door open, and will not resign if Moore wins.
