Why those sincere Dems! They really do mean it; they are resolutely determined to purge their ranks of all who have looked cross eyed at any politically correct woman. To that end they have thrown ancient John Conyers and sanctimonious Al Franken on the offal pile. In doing so they have, by their lights, affirmed their never to be doubted commitment to political ruin for any simply accused of such offenses. That they went to the wall for "Bill" Clinton, for whom there is credible evidence ,in the view of those not enamored of him, that he is a repeated forcible rapist and that they reflexively supported his grotesque partner's trashing of all women who protested Slick Willy's smarmy advances, is to be forgotten, yes? Why, its in the past isn't it? Bless me for a fool but those Dems might even turn on the royal couple now that their value is no more.
They do gain from this in the short run. They can disingenuously but effectively maintain that they are the friends of oppressed women and that their actions bear this out. They expect the Governor of Minnesota will appoint a Dem to serve out Franken's term (bumptious Keith Ellison I hope, I hope). And as for Conyers, oh well they are so far behind in the House that the numbers don't matter and he's, well, spent, yes?
In the long run the real America benefits though. That's because Kirsten Gillibrand, she of the junior class demeanor and Charles Schumer's faithful vassal, makes progress thereby toward the Dem's Presidential nod in 2020. Why, she has squeaked most eloquently at thankfully almost former Senator Franken. It is for the common sense America a much to be wished for outcome that young Kirsten carry the banner of the unquestionably just left in 2020 against the demon Trump. He'll "learn" her, alright and she'll join Anthony Weiner in that special place reserved for Schumer's avatars. Oh cry the beloved"Empire State"! How the real America must despise us for having polluted the national polity with such as Anthony, Charles, Kirsten, Hillary and Andrew.
Can't say I'm sorry to see Franken disgraced. He and his ilk (eg. Samantha Bee) know no limits in their vicious "humor". Good riddance. Jack

A perceptive analysis, as always. Personally, I don't approve of trial by accusation, but in every other respect I'm happy to see Franken go. With any luck, this will bring us a little closer to a Senate super-majority!
Dr. Waddy: A very good point.Trial by accusation is all to which the accusations against Franken have been subjected and I have denounced this in consideration of those who I support. Nevertheless, I do not doubt that he would have subjected any who attract his basilisk gaze to the most cursory of evaluations, colored most dominantly by his corrosively comic and dismissive leftist views. In Civil War II, I THINK, we must embrace those tactics which win. Its war, I owe.
