    Sure, he is facing reelection campaign in 3 years. let's see how the meme that failed in 2016 will work in 2020. My guess, not any better LOL

    he should win, be investigated, get recalled/kicked out if guilty and replaced with another republican. Just like the libs do with Franken.

    Or he can stay and support Trump, who gives a f*ck what the left think/want, the citizens of Alabama get to decide, no one else. Giving the libs Moore will not placate them, it will embolden them. :D Sessions already made a mistake of giving in to their demands and recusing himself, how did that turn out?

    But you want those of us who don't like either side to put up with a pervert President who has the gall to support a pervert running for the Senate.

    I dunno. Franken's speech ended with his saying "What I want you to know, even today, is that even on the worst day of my political life, I feel that it was all worth it ... I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.”

    Maybe it's just me, but considering what he did that GOT him out of a job, mmmmmaybe saying that he would do it all over again might not be the best way to go here.

    I bet Obama got better ratings than Reagan did. Never mind the fact that Reagan won the cold war and Obama left Ukraine occupied by Russia and the entire middle east in flames, captured by terrorists and having suffered millions of casualties. You can't even imagine how little does the option of Nigeria, Argentina and Sweden matter to us. Jeez. We want them to hate Trump, that means he is doing the right things for this country.

    He might not survive four years--he could get his useless butt tossed out of office.

    You don't have to put up, go to Canada, isn't that what you all said you'd do? But in this country the american people have spoken. This is how democracy works. Got it?

    Highly unlikely given that Mueller's investigation has been corrupted and rendered illegitimate. But you can always have your dreams.

    Unlikely. Reagan operated in a bipolar world where the Soviets were the other side.
    You don't have to convince me Obama did a lousy job. Reagan was there when the Soviets fell apart, so he had a bit of luck on his side.
    He's not doing the right thing--for the economy or national unity. We had eight years of Bush doing the wrong thing, then eight years of Obama, and now Trump. We can't catch a break.

    I'm not a liberal, Democrat, or left of center. Nice try.
    We'll see if Trump survives four years, or even if Moral Relativist Republicans hold a Congressional majority in 2019.

    Franken didn't resign.

    Worried about sexual harassment? Don’t force nuns to buy other people’s birth control. “Coming out in the midst of this, the Becerra-Shapiro suit to rope nuns into contraception has the same icky feel of men pushing women around. . . . Becerra and Shapiro are powerful men with political ambition and a track record for bullying the little guy.”

    Just read the first page and can tell this thread is a train wreck. Anybody playing the whataboutism game is a hypocrite and lacks self-awareness. It’s gross. Anybody who abuses women should be out. Period. That includes Bill Clinton and that includes Donald Trump or whatever other vile politician who’s done what they’ve done. Here’s a tip. Be consistent. Then people will actually take you seriously.

    It doesn't have anything to do with what they "deserve". If someone grabs a woman by the ***** then the woman has every right to be pissed and the offender should be charged, fired, impeached, etc. But lets not pretend like the woman is going to spend the rest of her life with PTSD, popping xanax's, curled in the fetal position. She isn't going to suffer any long term emotional turmoil because trump grabbed her snatch. So lets stop the BS with the "victim" narrative.

    And you wonder why women didn’t come forward?
    Tell me, men who sexually assault women do so it in private...so therefore women should have no recourse.?? But don’t you think when seven other women come forward with similar experiences with absolutely nothing to gain and the same method that there might be some credibility? What are the facts that are wrought with errors?
    Women didn’t come forward in the past because of the attitude you have but now women are coming forward millions of them. I am one of them and so is my daughter.
    Men will think twice
    A guy running from the cops isn’t proof he killed anyone

    That’s your opinion! A jury found him not guilty, remember? My opinion he did it 40 years ago the way so many other men assaulted women and women were powerless...now we’re not. Same with Cosby, weinstein, oreilly etc...It takes courage and when some women show the courage others follow.....I know!

    Let me guess you’re a man...I wonder how you would feel if you were a 14-year-old boy and you were in a room with a man who made you grab his penis. Perhaps you should educate yourself and see what happens to women who are raped . you show your hreat respect for women by referring to women’s “snatches”. Stick to trumps word of *******. As they say birds of a feather..I hope you don’t have a daughter

    Oh but it IS left and right. The people wailing, whining, shedding crocodiles tears now have happily supported the Clintons for 25 years, knowing full well of Bill's sex assault and rape allegations and Hillary's accusations of silencing and intimidating the victims.

    You didn't happen to be a Hillary voter by any chance, did you?
