45. Two things...

Oct 2018

1. Republicans and their defenders and enablers will say that there was an actual photo of Franken engaging in the undignified pose (the fake breast reach), and that Franken admitted to the things he was accused of. But, there's no evidence or admission by Kavanaugh of his "alleged" act. So, as far as they're concerned Kavanaugh is clean and Franken is guilty. I think this is stupid, but it's the way conservatives think. Franken acted far more honorably than Kavanaugh did.

2. As a part of the new "we're-gonna-start-acting-like-assholes-and-winning" strategy that we (Democrats) should be engaging in, Franken should immediately say it was a mistake to resign and run for senate again. We need him back in the senate.
