Gillibrand did not do it by herself. Why is she now a target for all the rage? McCamy Taylor Dec 2017 #10

Well, if Trump is the problem, get rid of him. There is very little logic in the other point of view JimBeard Dec 2017 #76

She led the lynchmob. But yes, they are all to blame. This was a SHITTY decision. SHAME ON THEM! LBM20 Dec 2017 #167

Maybe he didn't want to make his family or himself go through the unfairness of being railroaded flamingdem Dec 2017 #27

I am not implying Eko Dec 2017 #35

This should be obvious to you. He's a team player and the team rejected him flamingdem Dec 2017 #38

What is obvious is that it does not take a team Eko Dec 2017 #47

Link please to where he was badgered by Schumer? sheshe2 Dec 2017 #49

I would have respected Franken's decision to resign IF his Senate colleagues were supportive InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2017 #132

NOT. HIS. DECISION. dchill Dec 2017 #73

Sure, Eko Dec 2017 #96

If you are told to resign by a majority of Senate Democrats... dchill Dec 2017 #116

"Du people..." dchill Dec 2017 #134

I didnt want to assume it was just me, Eko Dec 2017 #137

I'm sure there are good people on both sides. dchill Dec 2017 #139

I think it is good sense to tell you what side I am on. Eko Dec 2017 #143

There is no legitimate reason for them to know anything... dchill Dec 2017 #148

So you know more about this than Franken does? Eko Dec 2017 #152

I have no idea what bubble you just popped out of. dchill Dec 2017 #153

So you are claiming to know more about this Eko Dec 2017 #154

Again, bubble. dchill Dec 2017 #155
