Funny Joey...that you use LBJ, since he was a disgusting abuser of women, along with being a corrupt warmongering criminal.Franken is a sacrificial lamb.
In normal times, no way would Franken be pressured into resigning. The Dims plan to make sexual harassment their platform for next year in order to weaken Trump, and or work towards impeachment based on his past behavior with women. They have to first completely clean their own house, thus why Franken has been pressured to go.
Maybe. Which means they know they've got something on Trump that is probably pretty damning, then.
I think it's more a case of what LBJ once said. "The difference between liberals and cannibals is cannibals don't eat their friends."
