PPP poll: Franken still popular, voters say he shouldn't have resigned

He should stay. I'm a firm believer of elected officials standing for their entire terms and not bending to public pressure to resign over something that comes out after the fact; an election is a mandate. Obviously the people of Minnesota will continue to re-elect him for as long as they want (and they seem to want him), but an open seat presents unique possibilities - even in a mid-term.

If the broader trends that showed up in 2016 in MN - and the ones we've been discussing for years wrt the Upper Midwest in general - even somewhat play out or intensify next year, Minnesota could fall in an open race and Democrats would have nobody to blame but themselves.

I'm sorry, but the ideological fate and political trajectory of the country is a hell of a lot more important than an instance or two of groping or whatever. People need to get it together.

Terrible post.

It's OK for Democrats. He will run again and win again in 2020. The left will pretend to care 20 years after the fact.

Last time I checked he's still resigning on January 2nd regardless of what some random poll says. But nice try.

We have precedent for this. Democrat Preston Brooks resigned his House seat after beating Republican Senator Charles Sumner with a cane. Brooks resigned. Democrat voters simply elected Brooks again.

Only a turbonerd like Kookie Krazeidiot would flip back 170 years into his history book while foaming at the mouth to find a random example to fit his narrative.

Why is it so hard to not defend creepy men like Frankie Frank? Can't people just let creepers be replaced by non creeper jeepers?

It’s such a crying shame that he resigned, I’m still holding out hope he can announce he’s staying, so he can give a well deserved F**k you to the Republican Party and all the useful idiots in the #metoo movement.

Little Lear isn't going to make its way to any Woman's teehee areas with this behavior.
