For what in my opinion is minor. In the long run, we will lose a smart, honest, sensitive senator. We will not gain anything...nothing at all. Trump will remain president, until Mueller presents the evidence and perhaps much longer. Moore will probably be elected and he was accused of much worse. But "not one leader...has come out to say he should stay in...not one

......................................................................and that is pretty sad...for an honest, smart, sensitive senator who has made some mistakes.

But the bigger ass**les..who made much worse mistakes are still in. Trump, Moore, etc. very sad

Still, I support Franken, he has apologized and admitted his mistakes. More than most..
He deserves respect and another chance..
