NJ represented for over a year by a senator indicted (but not yet convicted) for taking bribes. But MN Senator Franken forced to resign without a hearing? Voters are sick of DC double standards and politics.

If come next week Roy Moore is headed into the Senate and Al Franken out, the two party system will be dead in Minnesota and perhaps in the entire USA.

Painter is smart, plus he worked with Bush and has cross aisle insight

The shortsightedness and search for an angle, this one being that we're better than they are, cleaner, is a bullshit angle.
Obviously the angle is to have brilliant minds like Franken's attacking the repugs!
