(68,539 posts)primary. Other than that, let the voters in New York decide. We have way more important things to work on like winning an election in 18. I don't want you and others to lose sight of what is important. Franken is gone. I didn't like the way it was handled. My Senator Sherrod Brown also called on Franken to resign...didn't like that. But I am not about to call for a primary challenge for my Senator in the age of Trump over this matter. He is a good guy in general. I will say this people who beat this to death are only helping the GOP. It is what the right wing hoped for. I won't join people who will in the end hurt the Democratic Party and our election chances in this useless quest for revenge. And since Sen. Gillibrand is being vilified while others like Sen. Brown my guy are given a pass, I see a component of sexism in these attacks. I don't even like Sen. Gillibrand, but I dislike the way she is being treated. Someone here made an innuendo about Trump's remarks where he basically said Sen. Gillibrand gave him sexual favors for donations...she did not...and to find such a thing here shows this has gone way to far.
