re: Left wing celebrities calling on Franken to resign

Isn't the Gov. a Dem? Then he can replace Franken with another Dem. He's expendable.

This. They are willing to sacrifice Franken because they know they will get a Democrat to replace him. They want to set the standard - if accused, you resign. Then they'll get Roy Moore, and on to President Trump.

This is a medium term game. They want to set the bar and use it to get rid of key Republicans.
