2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAl Franken was just on WCCO AM 830 live,
endorsing Hillary on the air in the Minneapolis St. Paul area. The points he makes are all good ones, and Minnesota loves Al Franken.
You go, Al!

(10,565 posts)And Minnesota Dems are pretty significantly for Bernie at this point.
DefenseLawyer
(11,101 posts)And a good Senator, and there are plenty of valid reasons to endorse Secretary Clinton. But Paul Wellstone was a natural born world shaker. Those are much more rare.

(14,807 posts)involved and intertwined with Amy more, his stances have done some shifting. I agree with the rest of your statement also. A lot of times people endorse to gain favor for later also.

DefenseLawyer
(11,101 posts)So I'm not sure how anyone could have endorsed Nader in our primary. Weak.

(45,850 posts)his support was from the sidelines-however in early 2009 while the election re-count in MN was taking place he and his Republican counterpart joined hands on another topic concerning warfare

(10,565 posts)But siding with a Repub in supporting the MIC and eternal war or similar bullshit? - ugh.
Mnpaul
(3,655 posts)and he admitted so many times on his show. He did not, however, have access to all the intel like the Senators did. The Democrats should have revolted when Bush pulled their security clearance and should have never agreed to vote on the Iraq resolution without a discussion on the intel. Senate Dems should have held everything up when the Republicans refused to allow the FBI to investigate "Curveball".
