the Democrats hypocrites.

What difference does that make. A Democratic governor will replace Franken. We shall see whether Franken thinks he should resign. But that a Democratic governor will replace him does not make the Democrats asking for Franken's resignation hypocrites.

There is no rationale for that assertion.

Losing a Democrat in the Senate even for a short time is a terrific blow to Democrats.

If they are asking him to resign, it is because they think that is the right thing.

I don't know all the facts, so I don't know what is right.

Do you see a difference in them ASKING Franken to step and NOT ASKING Franken to step down?

Do you see the damage to the party and voter frustration that they're causing?

Is that at all important to you?
