i 100% support Al and the question i have is

do you actually believe he is resigning because his colleagues asked him too? If so i question this. I don't know why but i feel he needs to either STAY or give us the real reason! ( i see no reason for him to quit) He has to know what this battle is all about. I'm sure he DOES NOT want all of us here to be fighting amongst ourselves!

He obviously didn't want to resign but was forced to.

Martyrdom has its political uses. And Franken has a excellent sense of theater.

...because he deals with real world opinion, not what happens on an anonymous blog site.

If you want to disagree, you have to explain why Sanders, Warren, Harris, Brown etc. doen’t Care as well.

And all those Senators asking him to resign was too much.

We will never forget.

in the current sexual harrassment environment. I agree he would not and has not been treated fairly.
